Week 1 Summary

The first week of school is always interesting for any student (or teacher) whether in public school or homeschool.  You get an idea of what is going to work or not work, and can start to tweak it as need be.  I learned real quick that for Little Miss Sunshine, if I wanted her to continue to be the happy go-lucky child that we all know, I was going to have to break up our writing activities.  Due to her need to grip the pencil like it is going to run away, her finger starts hurting.  As for what I had planned, things went very well.  As we all know what you have planned and what actually happens are two entirely different things.  We had one interruption that caused one day to be a complete washout, but we had a goal in mind and were able to conquer the rest of the week.  Monday and Tuesday went very smoothly.  Wednesday was our washout day so Miss Sunshine visited her Daddy's office and met her new 'best friend in the whole universe'.  Due to the event on Wednesday that involved some construction in our home, Thursday and Friday were a little more stressful.  Due to allergies, we both were suffering.  I have to admit that I was very proud of her this week.  We got a lot accomplished and I think we will be able to reach our goals of the year.
