Yay! We got through our first day of homeschool… and we are all alive, limbs intact, house in one piece. I call that a victory. We started out easy… just math, language arts, and we counted piano lessons as music today. When we got finished and logged our attendance for the day, I gave Jachin a hug and told him good job… and that it would get easier for both of us. He told me it might help everyone if I “acted less strict”. I told him I’d think about it…

Here are the blocks that came with his math kit. He used them today for his lesson. As you can see, the kids are playing with them even after “school” is finished.

Ok, ok, so they are building structures with them instead of using them to count by ones, tens, and hundreds. But whatever…

1. How exciting! Is it less stressful for him than public school?

2. Sounds like a good start! I think it’s great that they’re playing with the school items after “school,” too. Playing is learning. Something may click while he’s tooling around with those blocks that makes math feel even easier.

   I love the acting less strict suggestion.
