The first day of school jitters



Last night I was so nervous for school to start. My husband (Ryan) wanted to watch a movie with me after the children went to bed and I had to review what I had planned for this week. He kept on telling me that it was going to be fun and that I just needed to relax. Well, he was right. The kids were so excited for school to begin they got up extra early. We were done with school by 11:30. Koby is so smart when it comes to addition. We went through the flash cards with no problems. I think I will continue to work on addition for another week and then make the problems bigger. Change it up a bit. We work on spelling words and took a pretest. Kob did pretty good on his test. He will have it all figured out by the end of the week. Camryn knew lots of her alphabet but there are still some that she would know the sound and not the letters name, so I am going to review two letters a week. I just want to make sure that she knows them really well. We did a little work out (exercise) in the house. We each took turns being the leader. We ran around throughout the house a few times, we did some jumping jacks, Koby had us squat against the wall for one minute (that burned the legs), we did cartwheels outside on the grass. It was lots of fun. We read lots of books and enjoyed our time together.

I had no idea you were planning on teaching school this year. Good for you. Its a bit daunting I'm sure but if anyone can do its you. Best of luck with everything. I'm sure the kids will love it. If your interesting in my list of curriculum from when I was a preschool teacher I could email them to you. Miss you guys.
