Just starting out with Homeschool

My Dad is coming down Monday and taking the kids to Disneyland. Turns out Monday is the first official day of homeschool for us so we decided to make today day 1. Today turned out better than I expected it to. For one we didn't have enough money this week to purchase any counting bear manipulatives but I did have some photo paper and enough ink to print these Free counting bear printables out. I cut them out and everything really turned out great. Both Zi and Ni enjoyed using those counting bears.

I also have not finished the Saxon math Calendar. I am still trying to figure it out but once I get my area officially set I will upload a pic. I spent the last week going over curriculum and trying to get organized. I created a schedule for our home and a weekly schedule for curriculum in word and am also working on a Home Organization Binder which I found the idea for on another Blog called keeping the home. Once I get everything officially done and picture worthy I will share it with the blogging world.

I was nervous how today was going to flow but Zi and Ni were excited about doing work and begged for more. Cario was content most the time with a marker, paper, coloring book and some counting bears of his own. He went down for a nap when he got too antsy and finished up with Zi and Ni. I would have to say today was a success.
