We started our day with the Pledge of Allegiance. I was never fond of this in school, because after saying it every school day for 12 years, it kind of lost its meaning. Macy and Joey love it and they are quickly learning what the Pledge means and what our flag represents.
Then we read our Bible story for the day (Creation), read about dinosaurs in our Children's Encyclopedia, listened to mommy read Little Bo-Peep and then make Bo-Peep crafts.
We had a phonics lesson, explored our new picture dictionary (letter F this week), and completed THREE days worth of math lessons! For science, we read about Earth's place in the solar system and learned how long it takes for Earth to rotate once on its axis and how long it takes for Earth to travel around the sun. Then mommy had Macy & Joey do a hands-on activity to understand Day and Night a little better (and Joey loves holding that flashlight in the dark!) We finished the morning with a much needed handwriting activity (probably the most painful part of my day!)
Around 7:30 the sun had finally dipped below the mountains and it had cooled down to 102, so we went on a short bike ride to the park for some exercise. It was a quick trip because it was still VERY hot, it was dark and Joey kept asking to go back home.
The kids are ready for their baths and then we'll read some more of The Boxcar Children before bed. Macy can't wait to learn more tomorrow!
