Ok, I knew that teaching my boys at home was going to be a lot of work. I expected it to be a lot of work. I also expected it to be a lot of fun for me and them. Which it has been on both accounts!
Can I just say that I am exhausted and it has only been three days... (we took yesterday off to celebrate Daddy's citizenship!)
Lord help me! How am I going to survive a whole week??
We had fun in science today (my absolutely most favorite subject!) by creating water vapor...the kids were enthralled! I love it! They will remember what clouds are made of for a very long time :)
We also watched an educational video about weather today. Did you know that weathervanes started having a rooster on them when the Pope decreed that all churches weathervanes had to have a cockerel atop to remind the followers of Paul's denial of Christ? Also, I learned that the sun's energy heats up the troposphere thus creating our weather! Like I said, I LOVE SCIENCE!!!
There were some super video of lightning storms on the video too. Beautiful!
So today has gone well and now I put the pupils down for a nap... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz (and maybe the teacher too...lol!)

It sounds like y'all have had a lot of fun!

That is fascinating about the cockerel! The first days are always sooooo full until you find your groove, I hope that each day is finding a pattern and that you are learning, loving and laughing each (okay, almost each) step of the way =D Thanks for your visit to my little corner of the blogosphere, blessings on your journey!
I would take English over Science any day. But you seem to be making it fun.
FYI...My sister, Ginger (heresmycuplord.wordpress.com), homeschools her two boys. Just a head's up in case you want contacts for advice or swapping ideas. She blows my mind! Her boys are doing great and also know the WORD very well.
