Homeschooling with a personal chef

Our first day of the new school year went smoothly.
I think that's all I have the energy to write right now. :)
More later.

Schedule:
  • Catechism/Prayer (using "Living with Christ")
  • Memorization and handwriting ("Rain" by Robert Louis Stevenson, "The Owl and the Pussycat" by Edward Lear, and the Nicene Creed)
  • Literature (surprisingly, Our Island Story. I was all revved up and super excited to start The Pilgrim's Progress by John Bunyan, but Wolfgang wanted to go with Island. Hard to argue when they're both awesome but O how I love a religious allegory)
  • Five in a Row (Mirette and the High Wire; focused on social studies lesson, which pertained to perseverance, occupations, goals, etc.)
  • Math (counting money using this link)
  • Music (Franz Joseph Haydn)
Wolfgang also worked on his "Battle of Britain" board game that he's creating. Noah cooked a huge pot of soup for us from scratch. The baby charmed us with her cuteness. Great day! Good night. :)
