Home Learning Week 1 Part 1

Well we are finishing up our first week back. I think I like the new way we are doing things much better. I get to touch base with each child and we are reading and memorizing more.
Here was our learning plan this week:

After breakfast and chores we will have circle time.
Monday was
Bible: Matthew 4:12-17. Jesus begins His ministry. The children illustrated this.
They also each received two verses from For Instruction In Righteousness to memorize. I will talk more about that in another post.
We are also working on learning the books of the Old Testament
Reading: We read "Good and Bad Children" and "Please" from The Book Of Virtues. We are working on memorizing "Good and Bad Children". Then the children illustrated "Please".

Tuesday and Wednesday we take off because of other obligations.

Thursday, which we did today because Jonathan's birthday was yesterday and we took a trip to the zoo, is:
Bible: Matthew 4:18-22. Jesus Chooses four fisherman. We read and illustrate the story.
Continue memorizing verses and the Old Testament books
Reading: "Good and Bad Children" and "My Own Self" from The Book of Virtues. We will continue memorizing "Good and Bad Children" and we will illustrate "My Own Self".

Friday, which we will do tomorrow because Daddy has a lot to get done and this will help us stay out of his way and because we had Thursday off, will be:
Bible: Matthew 4:23-25. Jesus preaches, teaches and heals. Read and illustrate.
Recite our verses. The older two will copy them for their notebooks. And continue memorizing the OT books.
Reading: "Good and Bad Children" and the "King and His Hawk" from the Book of Virtues. Continue memorizing "Good and Bad Children" and illustrate the "King and His Hawk".

After circle time I set the younger three up with something and begin schoolwork with the older two. This week I was not prepared enough but next week they will watch Signing Time and have another activity. This week they just played independently which did not work out so well for the two year old. LOL.

I will put part 2 in another post this one is getting long.
