Week Ten -- Night Sky and Equations

I think a common fear that many homeschooling parents harbor is that one day the lessons will go above what they feel comfortable teaching. That really shouldn't happen in 1st grade and, thankfully for us, it hasn't.

Yet.

But when you realize you're teaching your kiddo some basic equation work, your stomach gets a little queasy and you start having flashbacks and begin to panic that your child might need a smarter momma if you continue to homeschool.

Me, a worrywart? Never.

Luckily, the Math U See program has videos we watch together with a very nice instructor who has much better explanations than I could ever give.

I learned how much Little Bug really hates handwriting. He insisted turkeys didn't say 'gobble, gobble' but simply 'gobble' just to keep from writing that one extra word ;)  Which was fine. Momma just added another worksheet that required writing for the day. *cackles*

It was time to choose a new Nature Study and this term we're focusing on the Night Sky which you can read more about here. So each week we'll be visiting a new planet. This week we traveled to Mercury.

And of course no one goes space traveling without an alien hat ;)
