How relatable this is - teaching my own young boy 😂 The reluctance and then the excitement once they actually get started. The guessing, looking everywhere but at the paper etc. thank you for sharing!
Thank you for this! First year teaching my twin boys kindergarten and this helped remind me my that us moms are all in the same boat with the joys and attitudes and just the everyday with our kiddos!
Yes! I came here to say the same thing. This is such a breath of crazy fresh air because this looks EXACTLY like my morning with my 5 and 6 year old boys! It's nice to know it's not just mine who dont have the "YAY SCHOOL!" feelings right away
Our parenting or teaching style and our sons are so alike. So good to see! Would love to see an experiment day too! I’m really wanting to add in SL science for my son.
Hey, so we are also Sonlighters and I'm thinking the discrepancy you had with the Plants and Rainforest not matching up could be an error on their end. If I remember correctly there were a couple errors in either the new Sonlight HBL-K or Sonlight Science K. Reach out to them if you feel like you wanted clarification or if you stumble on a more substantial error. Sometimes errors happen as they have changed the "K" content fairly regularly.
Genuine Question! I see that he is holding his pencil in a different way. Will you eventually correct it or as long as he can write the numbers/letters, you don't mind it?
He goes through phases of holding it correctly and not throughout the lessons so I’m not super worried about it at this age. He is still building muscles with using things like play dough and other manipulatives

lol I knew I wasn’t the only one. Boys are a totally different ball game when it comes to homeschooling

The hooked on phonics practice pack subscription with the app really helps round it all out. My five year old is doing great with HOP.
He’s adorable. My son would be sneaking a peak at the camera too lol.
Such a cutie! Looks like a great day!
Thank you for this!

We are filming a full week of lessons soon! So keep an eye out for that ❤️
My son would be insanely happy if we only did science and maybe math lol.
I have three boys. Feel ya.

Thanks for the info!
“Alright Mila, Nico’s coming to play.” 🤣🤣🤣
Always top of his mind, when can he play next 🤣

I feel like maybe I missed this somewhere lol do you stick pretty true to an all-in-one curriculum or do you put a plan together??
No we mix and match and change up daily but I do have it all scheduled in my Homeschool Planet planner ❤️
I love the science curriculum. How old is your kindergartener
He is 5! Will be 6 in December
I recommend crayon rocks instead of pencil.
Thank you I’ll look into that
What science do you use?
Sonlight Science K
