Monday

After having such a busy weekend with family visiting, we did really well getting back into our routine. The kids got their chores done and were sitting at the table by 9:30. Lightning and Jitter Bug got to work on their summer calendar while the other three worked on math. When Stink Bug finished his math he read a book all about sharks and then wrote a paragraph about what he read. Ladybug did her math then read a Franny K Stein book and wrote about it. Wheel Bug saw Lightning Bug working on flash cards with me he wanted to do some as well--Dad and him worked on them after she was done (see picture). Ladybug and June Bug worked on the states and capitols flash cards. We have a basket full of small challenging puzzles, church story books, fact cards, flash cards and lace up cards to keep the kids busy when they finish their work and waiting for Mom to get to them. There is a picture below of Jitter Bug keeping busy. We got a ton of reading done and then played some. It was a great day for school! We will be workig til 10am this entire month, then next month we will be working til the second week of July and then we will take a few weeks off. In August we will do light work the first week then take off the rest of the month. Well, I'm off to go play with Wheel Bug outside.
