My first day of homeschooling—what did you do today? What are you excited about? What are you nervous about? What do you most want to learn?
My first day of homeschooling was awesome! We read a whole entire book about George Popham and went to Fort George. I can't wait for going on more field trips and visiting more people! I think that my favorite class will be Language Arts, and Teaching Lily. The field trips I want to go on are to go see dad at work and Caca at the library to go to the state museum and Joshua Chamberlains house. The stuff I hope to do in Language Arts are Mad Libs and creative writing. To teach Lily I'll help her with her writing and reading. It will help me with Jr. Coaching in skating next year. I am also excited about doing math and computer stuff with dad! This will be a fun year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
