Once Upon a Time....

So I bought several Magic School Bus books at the Library this summer. They were used, but were .25 c each. So, one f them is a Science activity book. We are using it as Science curriculm...since I am not truly homeschooling...only making sure my son is Kindergarten level (which I hear Kindergarten is pathetically easy). Anyway, we had fun today using rulers (Math, too) to measure and draw lines to compare how big the planets are. Then we filled in a chart with which planets are big planets and which are small...There are 2 more lessons on the Solar System which we will do this week. Then next week we learn about the Food Chain. They enjoy it and I can supplement with outdoor activities and books from the library. Either way they are being exposed to different things. The lessons that were already completed, I have used white out on. My sweet daughter read a "BOB" book to me today. I was VERY impressed! My son chose a "BOB" book that was a bit hard...especially since he gets all flustered and frustrated before he ever tries. He did pretty well...From now on I will choose which book he reads...then he will read with ease and feel confident. Something he really needs to succeed...and relax.



I am signing him up for winter swim lessons as well. He REALLY wants swimming to be his sport...so I suppose it will be! There is a swim team in our city he can join in a yr or so...I bet he will love that.
