Monday Morning with Lucy Clare


Lucy Clare and I got to spend the morning doing school by ourselves today because Molly had preschool and Connie/Belle helped out in the nursery for Aunt Karen's bible study. It's always special to have some one-on-one time with the girls and Lucy and I really enjoyed talking and doing her work with no interruptions. We have a lot of fun things planned for the week, finishing up the unit on Earth in Astronomy, 2 new states, some more Greek mythology, and lessons and activities about Rosh Hashanah. We're calling this Math Week and we're going to take the week off of our regular curriculum and work on games, worksheets and review about basic math facts to help us with the more advanced things coming up in our books.

Lucy Clare was thrilled that she got to write in the blog today and really enjoyed typing on the computer. She worked hard for quite some time and didn't ask me to spell anything except the cat's names so I've resisted changing anything she wrote (I'm still fighting phonics although it's obviously working for her) but I did do a translation after for everyone. I do enjoy "seeing" how she hears things and she's making great progress in her phonics and reading program, although I have to admit, I enjoy working with her in spelling more since that makes more sense to me.

Lucy's Words translated
Today Connie and Belle needed to go somewhere so me and Mommy got to do school by ourselves since Molly was at preschool. Today I read a scary book. We played 2 games of math bingo. In grammar I did exclamation points. I like homeschooling because Mommy gets to be my teacher and I get to work with the sisters all day long. A few days ago we painted and that was fun. Archie and Veronica get to do school with us. My favorite subject is handwriting because I want to learn to write.

  1. Awesome job Lucy Clare!

    The only thing I didn't get was exclamation points. I love reading stuff like you said you get to see how things sound to them. Very neat.
