Science and Math

OK, so I know this is only the first week of school, and I'm full of fresh ideas and not yet worn down by the daily grind, but I have to say that so far we're loving it! There are so many fun and interactive ways to learn. We have been learning that on the third day God created the seed-bearing plants and trees. So today we went outside and shucked a big bag of sweet corn. We learned that the kernels of corn are the seeds, what seeds need in order to grow, how to spell the word "corn," and then we had our math lesson. We counted all of the ears of corn (75), and then we separated them into stacks of 10 and learned about counting by 10s. Now we're getting ready to do our writing lesson. So far, so good!
