Whatchadoin #5, our morning routine

Our day starts with calendar time.  Besides changing up the wall labels they also use calendar time notebooks that I put together using bit and pieces of other bloggers note books, including Homeschool Creations, Mama Jenn, and Confessions of a Homeschooler.

Calendar time also includes flash card practice.  It was a good place for us to put them where they wouldn't get forgotten.

Next comes our "Daily"s, daily math and daily handwriting.

Then we do Grammar/Writing, we are using a workbook I found online that has grammar one day then writing the next.

Finally Life of Fred.  This is by far the girls favorite part of the school day.  They love reading about Fred and his adventures.  It is surprising how often they will bring up something they read in everyday conversations.

At this point "regular" school is done.  We still have half a dozen other things we like to do and study but as long as we got the basics I consider the day well done.
