Second Day of School

Creating a decorative pallet for the front of their art portfolio.

Learning about how to read maps in the Navigation lab.

The second day of school went by pretty quickly. Still no new curriculum updates from CVA, which is pretty frustrating. But luckily we have plenty of stuff here to work on.

Art: Did the first lesson from Meet the Masters, where we learned about the artists that we will be learning about this year. Then we all made a portfolio in which we will store our future art work. Skyla took a little T/F quiz after the "lecture" and got a 9/9 correct (which was amazing to me, because she really didn't look like she was paying attention most of the time).

English: Both kids had a great time practicing handwriting on some wipe-off cards we have.

Math: Lesson 2 of RightStart (this was the first subject Skyla wanted to do today, even before Art!)

Science: Opened a Little Labs box about Navigation and learned how to read a map. The kids then took all the stuff from the box and preceded to run around the house "following" the map and play-pretending with the other stuff in the box (e.g. a mirror, whistle, compass, chalk).
