Oatmeal and Raisins

Today was our first official day of "kindergarten". It went pretty smoothly. Having a lesson plan was definitely a good decision. Zion stayed focused and "in the game". We started at 8 am after he had a waffle and strawberries for breakfast and vanilla soymilk. We finished about 12:10 pm.

We used a variety of resources and activities such as: cut & paste, flash cards, typing, workbook, worksheets, coloring and even a website. He really likes the Spanish website we use to hear words and letters pronounced.

I did alot for a snack break around 10 am which was welcomed. Lunch was as soon as we finished for the day.

I asked if he enjoyed "school" and was it hard and he said "yes" and "no" respectively.

We played music while he ate, painted and sang, of course. We listened to the Action Bible Songs cd mostly. During his free paint time, we listened to Coltrane’s "A Love Supreme". I think he actually enjoyed it. But, no surprise this is MY child we’re talking about.
