It’s 2018 and time to keep things rolling on the homeschooling front to try and build momentum for the year. Being a home learning family is certainly a learning experience for everyone, but I’m sure we’ll eventually hit our stride. And what better way to get things rolling in the New Year than to see the sunrise.
New Year’s Day Sunrise…sorta
We’ve been going up to Cypress Mountain to see the sunrise the past couple of years, so we wanted to keep the momentum going. However, we got up a bit late and didn’t get to see the sun come up. Nonetheless, we made it to Cypress and enjoyed the great views.
The rest of the day was pretty relaxed and started out with Ethan doing some reading and grammar practice using his workbook and some anchor charts I printed out.
The reading is all about inferring and drawing conclusions based on what the reading passage said.
And for grammar, Ethan worked on prepositions and prefixes.
Baking New Year’s treats!
Homemade vegan peanut butter cookies and vegan banana bread…What an awesome way to celebrate the New Year! Ethan helped with the cookies and really enjoyed baking.
And why not do a little math while waiting for the cookies, right?
We enjoyed some cookies while learning about math. This was a nice storybook featuring numbers to infinity as the subject of the book.
It was a nice day out, so we went out for a bike ride and to play at the playground. First, we needed to pump up the tires in Ethan’s bike since it had been sitting for a few months.
Ethan ended up playing grounders with a family of five.
Later that night, Ethan practiced violin and we talked about trying to find a violin teacher for him, as he quite likes the violin.
And that was the first day of 2018. We hope you’re enjoying the blog. Please let us know if you have any questions about homeschooling and please feel free to share your own experiences in the comments section.
