This week I started with the theme God Made Me. I didn't buy a set curriculum for Kindergarten because I knew I wanted to come up with themes to study through out the year. Most likely for the higher grades I will look into something more specific but I was pretty confident in my ability to teach her what she needs to know for this year. For Science I found a few books from the library ( my most loved homeschooling resource) that talked about your insides, a basic intro to bones and muscles. For math we reviewed the numbers 1-5 and did different worksheets and worked with manipulatives. For language we reviewed all of our letter sounds to be sure we would be ready to start our alpha-phonics program that my friend was kind enough to lend me to use with her. Writing was specific practice for letters l,t and i following her Kumon workbook and of course all the extra writing practice she gets just from other exercises. For social studies we started our God Made Me book, kayiah loves this sort of work because it requires her to use her creativity ( an area she really excells in) we usually save this for the last subject of the day. So this is the start of my blog on homeschooling a kinderkid, I'm not sure how often it will be updated if I will keep it in this format or what but I thought it would be fun to try. I'm tired of messing with this blog tonight and I have to get my kids into bed so this is the post you are getting : )

| a math/ language lesson, I sent Kayiah on a hunt to find five things that began with the letter L and then she logged them in her math/science notebook. |

| painting letter "T's" with tea. This was a big hit for Kayiah and a welcome break from regular lined whiteboard practice. |
