A Productive Monday

Today I will consider my homeschooling a success.  We got started early, covered most topics by noon and Dakota and I got along all day!  We are about half way through our newest Magic Tree House book. Dragon of the Red Dawn and after we read that today and answered our comprehension questions we made a Japanese Koi fish paper bag puppet.  We read about Susan B. Anthony for Women's History Month and finished our Character Education series, finally!!  We are learning how to pull information from a story and put it into a graphic organizer, a pre-cursor to writing a report and learning about different animals in the process.  We did sea otters a few days ago and today it was polar bears.  After we read the story from National Geographic for Kids magazine, we fill out as much of the form as we can.  Then we get onto the computer and he is learning how to Google for information to fill in the remainder of the topics.  We are learning about endangered status, as well, so I feel that this one activity is filling alot of requirements for us.

After eating our lunch with chopsticks like they do in Japan, we did the regular language arts activities in our Abeka books and played Mad Libs and The Plural Girls on www.funbrain.com.  We read the remainder of National Geographic for Kids for enjoyment, filled out the music form that my older daughter left for him which is teaching him how to read music and started a math unit on addition and even got out on the deck to enjoy the unusually warm early March day.  Whew!  Here's hoping that tomorrow is as productive and even half as enjoyable!
