Howdy!

Well, I am finally keeping my word to my hubby that I am going to start posting on his blog. I am taking over the 'In Case You Missed It - Homeschool Edition' posts. We thought about different topics that I could post about and thought this would be a good way for me to begin. So, I am going to be letting people know a little bit about the things that Kaylynn and I are doing for homeschool.

This is our first year to homeschool and it is a journey. I have learned some things about our daughter and I am looking forward to learning more. Like the fact that she is a very bodily/kinestetic learner so she loves anything she can touch and interact with. She has a great interest in science and also in leaning about other countries. She loves to read God's word, and listen to her favorite cd Songs for Saplings before she goes to bed. I want to see the unique gifts and qualities that our Father God has given her.

Our Kindergarten Curriculum:

• My Father's World Kindergarten
• Saxon Math 1
• Building Thinking Skills
• Reading-suggested by MFW and Library books
• Writing- Letter stroke practice
• Computer Time- viewing information, articles, and videos for each new lesson

Kaylynn has dance on Mondays. We are also involved in an Education Co-op, and a Physcial Education Co-op alternating every Friday. I also work out twice a week with some homeschooling ladies and college girls for about an hour, and the kids get to play in the gymnasium. I think Kaylynn is getting plenty of socialization. This week we were working on Lesson # 18 Zebra. This was a fun week though we had a few setbacks, like the fact that I left some of my worksheets at a friends house, and then the next day was declared a sick day (as in I could barely get up from the couch, trying hard not to hurl) because I came down with a nasty stomach "bug", but thankfully it was only a 24 hour virus. I passed it on to my husband and was able to go to our co-op. Unfortunately, Paul had to stay home from work on Friday. Anyways, I digressed. We were still able to learn quite a bit about Zebras, where they live, and we made a Savanna diorama.

Here are some of the websites we visited:

• What is a Zebra?
• National Geographic Zebras
• Savannas
• Craft Topic: Striped Zebras
• OBSERVATION 16 - Savannah Diorama
