The Spelts Family Home School: Schedule for our first week of school

OK, so here is our schedule for the first week of school ... I received a list of basic curriculum for my kindergartner and 2nd grader at Basic Skills curriculum. I am going to use this a base for what I teach this year. I will post our lesson plans, but I reserve the right to change it up at anytime. If my daughter is struggling in one area then we might work on it a little longer. If they are having so much fun in an area we might focus on it a little longer. I am so excited to get started. I love being my children's mom and am excited to get to spend more quality time with them this year. Our first week is really going to be review things they remember from last year and to gage where we need to start our studies this year. It will be fun to see how much our lesson plans will change as the year progresses and as we become adjusted to home schooling.
