First day of homeschool

Today was our first day of homeschool.

First off, decorating some signs and smiling into the camera!

Check!

Second, start out with the morning offering, hoping our Lord will cut me some slack on the first day!

Check!

Third, listen to the memory work CD from Catholic School House (love it!)!

Check!

Fourth, look at and explain the history cards (which lead to an interesting discussion with Emmi about a book she read)!

Check!

Next, Emmi does her own thing (going by the list I wrote down for her the night before and coming to me with any questions she may have)

And I focus on Miss O...

Half check!

Halfway through, Miss O decides she is done with school and has a minor meltdown once she realizes that we (Emmi and I) are actually going to spend more than 15 min doing school.

But nothing that can't be fixed by a pair of scissors and some tape!

Yes, she got to do some paper crafts, or what did you think?

Anyway, add practicing the piano and at 11am we have our final...

...check!

Emmi: "What can I do now?"

Me: "Go, play!"

Emmi: "Oh!"
