We started off our actual homsechooling day doing language arts. The lad had already spent a good portion of the morning learning about making his own film. He's seven and is just starting to learn about not showing EVERYTHING, that you can stop, set up the shot and then go on from there. He's learning to be aware of back ground noise. To zoom and out and such like. It's a work in progress.
Language arts: We read a story from our reader and then I asked the lad a variety of questions. What would you do in that situation? What do you think of what the boys did? Are you glad they figured out how to get help? Do you think what they did could really have worked?
Then we went to Adventus. The lad LOVED this lesson (did it three times) and wanted to go on to another lesson but I said let's do our question from Target the Question first as well as our Essentials in Writing lesson. That of course led to our doing our first DO IT multiplication question through A+Tutorsoft interactive math. He did well with this once he figured out exactly what they were asking from him. It's hard to focus on things today.
So once we were done all that I said... GO PLAY for while. We both need to let our brains chill out. :)
We're going to make some indian bread this afternoon and do some more picture making for our First Nations work. Also we plan to build a paper castle. We're using these plans from My Little House.
