Starting our Journey.

We started out main lessons today. We are on a 3 day main lesson schedule. Monday's are co-op, Tuesday though Thursday are main lessons and Friday is finishing anything we need to get done and park day.

I started by drawing this before she got up. This is a picture depicting a part in our container story. It's about a boy and a girl who are asked by the fairy queen to help her break a spell on a kingdom. They will have to go on 3 quests learning new things as the go along. What we are doing the next two weeks is getting ready  for the quests. 

We stared our day again with a walk counting to 100. Then some yoga with the book "You are a lion" which F already told me she knew the title, then read it to me. She is doing good reading. Then we had circle and main lesson time. We made magical wands that will help us write our forums, letters and numbers in the air. 

   

Then we talked about our first forms which are line and curve. I showed her what the forms where, she made them with the braided yarn and walked them. 

Then she drew it next to mine. It took a few times to get her to draw a curve and not a circle missing a little. :) 

So we read our main lesson story then ended our morning lessons. When playing out side I drew the line and curve line in chalk and F walked, skipped and ran them. 

After that F pointed out all the lines and curves we had out side. 

I love this one she was super excited to find 2 on the tree, the bottom trunk being a straight line and the branches making curves. 

Then for afternoon lessons we painted.

We are learning how to use watercolor paints on wet paper. So our first lesson was yellow circles 

The method we are using has me paint right next to her, which is awesome cause I learn something new too. I actually practice before, a few weeks ago so I know what I am doing when I show her. Here is my painting. 

They are a bit hard to see. These are hers, she wanted to do two cause you could not see circles in the first one. 

Then we got ready for our journey by making a ball with our yarn. During our journey (with the story) we will be knitting things to keep us warm in the winter. It's a great hand eye coordination task and calms our minds. We also listen to our favorite sparkle stories as we do this. Here is her yarn ball. She wants to make a bunny out of it. It's an easy knit square and you sew it into a bunny. I made one for A, for her birthday.

That's the end of our day. Dinner is cooking (red beans and rice cause it's Tuesday) and then getting ready for bed, story (we are reading the Rainbow Fairies we are on the 2nd book Orange) and passing out! 

See you tomorrow.
