Homeschooling Week 1

This week was a lot of fun. I learned a lot about Asher and his "schedule" and Asher had fun with projects, numbers, letters, and even a memory verse. We'll see if he really memorizes it or not. I think it will be easier in weeks where I can incorporate Steve Green's "Hide 'Em In Your Heart" CDs.

Here's our learning poster for the week (our memory verse is "A soft answer turns away wrath. Proverbs15:1)
Here are the books we read and discussed (I starred the ones that he favored):*Rodeo Ron and His Milkshake Cows
*Millie Wants to Play
*Moo Who?
A Particular Cow
Daisy the Firecow
Moonstruck: The True Story... (don't recommend, too wordy and confusing for little kids)
The Cow Who Clucked (the pictures are really artistic and a good way to introduce some art, but on some pages it's hard to determine what the subject is, you'll have to point some stuff out)

Other books we enjoyed this week (I even added some to his Amazon Wish List):My Truck Is Stuck
Little Smudge
Alphabet City
Do Unto Otters: A Book About Manners

Hey Jessica, I'm excited for you and your boys. You'll do a great job teaching and Asher will learn so much, especially how much his mom loves him! As a mom (though long retired) of 2 weird and antisocial homeschoolers, :) I'll enjoy watching this journey you are taking. God bless you all as you carry on.
