Day One of Homeschool

We did it we have started Homeschooling our two oldest children.

They have been just as excited as I have.  We started our day with morning devotional which consists of a song, a prayer and studying a few scripture verses.  I found some really nice scripture study pages at theredheadedhostess.com.  We said the Pledge of Allegiance and started on our school work.  Actually, today was more of an instructional day, but it all worked out really good and I think the girls had fun.

Today's school work included a Reading lessons, free reading, spelling, math, copy work, coloring a state map and for DeeDee we did Piano practice and an english lesson.  MiMi's work also included a penmanship worksheet.  We are going to do P.E. this evening and we will also work on memorizing a scripture.

It seems like a lot.  The girls did great and finished all they could by 2:30 pm.  I was planning on 3 pm.  Now I need to look through their Monday folders and check over their completed work and see if there is somewhere we can adjust and/or improve.
