Week 1 of unofficial homeschooling


This week i decided to pull my finger out and get some routine
happening for Ellie and i as we take a more serious look at home schooling.
We are staring with ABC and D and are just going to play around these letters this week.
That as well as number recognition, music and art.


Forming A's sounding as we write each one

Her "official" green paper. Its all drafts till its on green paper


Thinking thinking

Dress up free play. Admiring herself, yet again

Her favorite spot outside. The "cutting mat"
Thats the only thing she will do on this mat.
If i see her with a piece of paper,
i can find her on the mat outside not long after

Staying still for too long drives her crazy (mum too)
Gotta jump the stillness out
Treasure hunting

Would you believe that she can hula hoop and jump at the same time.
That girl has some great hips!

We didnt get everything that i wanted to do done today,
it was all a bit much for Ellie which is understandable.
Going a bit slower tomorrow and not doing much writing time.
Painting letters and maybe collage. And a letter hunt in the house too.
