What Did We Do Today: Day 17

What did we do in homeschool all day?

Our Guide to Daily Lesson Plans, Activities, and Resources

Every day I will post our lesson plans of what we plan to do in homeschool and each night I hope to update how the day went. Some days the update may be brief and other days I might give you some sneak peaks into great fun we had. My goal is to use this part of the blog as a place to document our learning and hopefully provide resources for other homeschooling parents.

Hope to get accomplished:

Reflections Today

Today was very very busy. We had so much fun reviewing the E-book from Preschool Powol Packets Blog and finding some Christmas science experiments to try out. We are really excited to tell you about the ones we tried and what we found. We also had a ton of fun doing our Salt Dough ornaments and I can’t wait to write more about them this week. Since I have never made salt dough ornaments but see them everywhere I was nervous about trying them but found a great recipe at Red Ted Art.

I have been reflecting a lot lately on how homeschool is going. I have been too busy to really evaluate that to the extent I want to, so I am looking forward to writing more and reflecting soon for all of you. I am starting to wonder if we need a “plan”. Should we have a “schedule”? What should our day look like? There are so many questions that fill my head at the end of each day.

What do you ask yourself when you reflect on your learning day?
