Hello! My name is Angel and I am a homeschool mom of a 5 year old girl Doc, I alos have 3 1/2 year old twin boys Bumblebee and Opitmus Prime. My poor little Bumblebee isn't feeling well today. He woke up around 2am and threw up all over himself and hid bed. Then again in the kitchen and our room. Finally got him to sleep. Then this morning he acts like nothing's wrong and all of a sudden more of last night's dinner appears all over the ladder to his bunk bed and the lower mattress and floor. Poor little man. I put him in the bath tub and cleaned up the boys' room. Luckily he hasn't been sick again, but he took an early nap. Now he's acting fine again, but his cheeks are flushed. The other two kids seem fine. I'm getting a sore throat. Hope it doesn't last long.

Here is a picture from after Trick-or-Treating:

 

My daughter's new favor cartoon character is Doc McStuffins. Doc in the cartoon is a doctor to stuffed animals. It is a very cute show. My daughter loves to learn about the human body sytems and functions. She chose to take the human body class at our homeschool co-op. I don't know how to go deeper in this area-maybe start on the cellular lever. Cells -> types of cells -> organs? She's only 5 but has at least a 3rd grade knowledge in this area. Most other areas we're working on a first grade level.

 

This is my first year homeschooling and I'm a little all over the place. We didn't start out with  specific name brand curriculums. I've bought several 1 grade workbooks from several places. I love education.com for free worksheets. I won Soaring With Spelling and Vocabulary in a giveaaway and just last week started using it. I also just bought Math-U-See Primer (from Craigslist), Alpha, and Beta (from one of our homeschool co-ops.) I'm going to start Primer tomorrow on lesson 9.

 

Next blog will be A day in the life of our homeschool.
