Good morning to all and I hope you are having a wonderful and productive day! I am, at long last, getting back around to posting on my blogs. This past year has been filled with many changes for our family and I have posted about them on my Cozy Home Cottage blog in the form of a Daybook post. Please feel free to stop by and read the post. I am resolved to press forward into the new year with a renewed Faith and focus on our schooling.
We started back to our daily lessons on January 3rd and have started things fresh with a newly revised schedule that takes a little cue from my college days. We are having regular lessons on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday and I have added a Computer Lab Day on Wednesday along with an Art Apreciation Day on Friday. So far, the change has been a HUGE success. Caleb likes that he now has a day for computer learning. We use Wednesday to explore fun, educational web sites and to do writing and keyboard lessons using our MS Word program. He is doing much better in the writing department and I am trying to base his writing assignments on the material that we are learning from the rest of the week. The Friday Art Apreciation Day is wonderful!!! Each week will feature a different piece of art along with information about the corresponding artist. We look at the artwork, learn about its content and study some facts about the artist's bio. After the lesson, Caleb and I get to be creative on a project that reflects the style or the method used by the artist to create the featured piece. We are really having a lot of fun with this and learning so much about art.
I am so glad that we are blessed to be able to learn at home. I can see my son growing in wisdom and knowlege more every week. It is a beautiful thing as a parent to witness his learning process first hand.
God Bless your week,
Charlotte
