We’re settling into our second week of homeschooling. The girls are eager every morning to get going with their work – most mornings we are starting around 7:45! Here’s a peek at a few things we did last week:
M&M Graphing
Watercoloring on wet paper:
Making numbers and other creations with Wikki Stix:
Playing Double Shutter (with the bonus of practicing addition!):
(We all *love* this game – it’s very addicting. Here’s a link to the game on Amazon: Double Shutter
Delaney’s Workbox: We are using our own version of Sue Patrick’s Workbox System – more details coming soon on how we’re using this system!
All in all, we are doing a lot of the same things we usually do – read a lot, play games, muck about outside, ask questions, experiment with art supplies, etc. The girls have asked for a morning “Circle Time,” so we’re doing that too. I am trying not to get bogged-down with planning, like I have a tendency to do! We’re off to a good start…
{Also, a big thank you to everyone who offered support, encouragement, and resources when we announced our homeschooling plan. Thank you! I haven’t had time to individually reply to most of your comments, but know that I always read and appreciate them!}

Great post! We’re homeschooling kindergarten, too, so I loved seeing some of the activities you’re including. I am intrigued by the workbox system and would love to hear more about it. I looked at her website a little bit, but didn’t quite understand how it works. Thanks for always having wonderful ideas to share!
Wonderful! I can’t wait to hear more about the workbox system!!!
Great activities! I need to get some of those wikki stix.
I love your site! What wonderful ideas! I am creating a summer homeschool program for busy parents and caregivers, and I’m always trying to come up with new and fun ideas. I hear you on the planning side of things… I am just the same. I’m excited to start working with my kids this summer.
Thanks for sharing your ideas!!!!
