Today was our first organized day of homeschool for the summer. After breakfast we went out in the yard and Luthien watered her wildflower patch while I weeded. Then we came in and actually sat down at her little table.
We read an Aesop's fable, The Lion and the Mouse, practiced Havamal verse 52, which ties to the moral of the fable, and Luthien did: a color page related to the fable; a tracing page for the letter "M" featuring a mouse; and several worksheet pages related to the letter M, an alphabet dot-to-dot, and the concepts of more and less time, more and less quantity, and matching the same number of an object.
From there we moved from the table to her bed in her bedroom and read and practiced a poem Luthien chose and insisted on, and read a rebus story together (the kind with pictures for some of the words so the child can "read" along). Our official "school time" for the day was adjourned so we could pick up my babysitting charges and go to the park. We will finish up this afternoon with read-aloud time, classic Winnie-the-Pooh followed by whatever else she wants. We were both quite satisfied with how it went and are looking forward to doing it again tomorrow!
