I found out Eli hadn't done his science worksheets from the other day so I had him get started on that while we waited for everyone to be ready to start school. He had a fit but did eventually do it.
History: We decided to skip history because we couldn't find the story book. Emmy was assigned to find it since she was the last one to have it.
Language Arts: I did the first Winston Grammar Basic lesson with Miri while Emmy did Josie's Calendar Notebook with her and helped Sarah do Letter of the Week. Then I did a long review lesson in Winston Grammar with Emmy and Eli (we haven't done any for nearly a year).
I quickly filled out planners for everyone so they would know what else they need to do today. Then I had to go get Kjeri from work.
History (round 2): When I got home, the kids had found the book so we read about William the Silent and did a minibook. Then I assigned extra reading and narrations.
Science: I read the girls' science lesson to them about how birds fly and we did a fun little experiment with water and straws. Then they did their minibooks. Eli did his science with little help from me. (I helped him find a bunch of things to see if they were magnetic and talked him through a few of his review questions.) Emmy watched a lecture on the Virtual Homeschool Co-op website.
Everything Else: The kids did spelling, math, gospel, p.e, and reading on their own.
All in all, things went pretty well today - except that I can't believe how exhausting all of that stuff is.
What did you learn today?
