Today was Ben's first day of home school. We started the day like any other with the exception that I took roll (something I don't do regularly). We took a field trip to a nearby library and read books and got to know the library for a couple of hours. When we returned we had lunch and a quick rest. Then Ben spent a while working on the computer learning phonics on starfall.com. He loves that site. Although there are some favorite things that he loves to do, there are lots of activities that he can do on there if he gets bored with something.
He played creatively with his sister in various parts of the house. They role-played, switched roles, and pretended a lot.
For PE he is going to his karate class where they are learning with their weapons. In karate they learn how to be in control of their bodies and focus. It has been good for him and he wants to keep going with it. We're thinking of enrolling him in a different kind of PE class thoough too, in addition to the karate, where he will learn how to play (soccer, basketball....) with others and where he can meet other kids his age. This is very important to him right now...making friends his age.
