Final days of Public School! 5/27/11

Our last day of public school is June the 2nd. Today was field day at school and there wasn't much learning to be had. When the girls got home I told them that we could have our first test run at what a homeschool day would be like tomorrow morning. Lilly said that she wanted to start today.lol  We played a game of opposites, first. This is pretty self explanatory; one person names a word and someone else names the opposite. I let the girls quiz me so they can try to trick me. Next we played ryhming words ( same concept as the opposite game). Since I really wasn't planning on making them do anything today, I figured I might try something later, but I really don't want to burn them out. After about an hour of free play and some supper we listened to a beginners Spanish CD. This is a cute CD with the Spanish alphabet, numbers, colors, animals, common phrases etc. They listened pretty attentively and danced some for about 20 minutes.Before bed tonight we will read some more out of "Magic Puppy" by Sue Bentley. This is a cute story that we have been breaking up into 25-30 page sections for the past couple of nights. Pretty good for a night when we did not plan to do anything at all.
Tomorrow should be fun. I set a rough outline for what I plan our day to be like. We will get up at 6:30 and the girls will make muffins (assisted of course). Next we will start a small routine of singing or dancing to a funny song to get awake, then talking about what day it is and what the weather is like. Then we will say the pledge to the flag and start with math and history. Mom says these are good subject for early morning while they are still fresh, so it sounds good to me. We are going to be focusing on clouds as a theme so we will see how we manage to tye math and all of the subjects in. After about an hour and a half we will make snack and go outside to eat it and look at some clouds and try to identify them, then maybe an experiment on condensation followed by some inside writing about clouds using spelling words.  Anywho that is a rough plan so we will see how it turns out. Hopefully we can post pictures of our experiments!
