We started second grade, pre-K, and preschool today. Naomi began demanding to LEARN! at the breakfast table. When I mentioned something about what we might do after quiet time, Naomi said we were going to LEARN LEARN LEARN all day. This was somewhat daunting, since I certainly didn’t have that much material ready for them. Naomi ended up being content with what I did have planned.
Latin was one of the subjects that we started today. Originally it was only scheduled for Hannah, but Naomi wanted in on the Latin, too. So they’re running about saying things like, “Hit the via!” and, “The luna will be coming up once it gets dark.”
Simeon was not as impressed with school, mainly because he wanted his sisters to do things that involved him far more often than they were available. He’ll probably like the songs that we’ll start doing more often.
I had gotten some books from the library for Hannah’s school. One, called The Way We Work (about the human body), I had planned on using for science, having Hannah read a chapter at a time. She got her mitts on it last week, though, and has read all but the last two chapters, the last one being on reproduction, which we’re not going to cover in that kind of depth at this point. This means that we have only one chapter left of the book…so I’ll have to revise my science plans for the next week or two. Not a bad problem to have, I suppose!
