First Day Fun!

We had a VERY busy "first day" of school today.  We are using a heavily modified workbox type schedule.  One of the biggest differences is the boxes are not numbered to be done only in a sequencial order, but rather at this time I'm just letting him pick his own order in which to complete the activities.  After reading and then doing workboxes, we went to the YMCA and the kids played there, then to the Children's Museum (first fieldtrip of the school year!) and then they played at McDonalds playland.  Got back, practiced the penotonic scales (not sure if I spelled that right!) on the guitar, then wrapped up the afternoon with ReadingEggs.com

So here's what was in the boxes for today...

No picture of the first two boxes, but we did a short Bible lesson (reviewing the Lord's Prayer and copywork of this week's Bible verse) and did two pages of rhyming worksheets together.

Addition cards- he's never done these before and only needed help on two of the dozen or so problems.  One of the issues was the sum number was a 9 turned upside down LOL

He also did some spelling word cards for the first time too.  I was actually a little suprised at how quickly he did these.  With no help at all!

Then worked with cuisinaire rods.

And fun ReadingEggs.com game!

And for her first day of preschool, she worked on matching pictures in a cowboy theme.

Worked with magnetic ABC's.

And of course some art!

ETA:  Here are pictures from the field trip taken on my cell phone!
