May daughter woke-up early the last two morning, got herself dress and came in to wake me up because she wants to start her education. I have been very impressed with her pro-activeness and rising to the challenge of an education level that is two grades above that of other children her age. However, we will see as the year goes by just how that pro-activeness and understanding endure.
Yesterday, she did three lessons in Faith & Works and two lessons in Science. Then I had to put a stop to lessons for the day because I am weary of "burn-out". I want her to look forward to today's lessons as well. It was the first day, so we can go slow and build up to more and more lessons. Actually, she did a full day's worth of lessons. I am very proud of her.
After science she went out to explore what she learned. She wants to be an animal rescuer so her science lesson was so up her alley. Exploration of nature is very much a CM philosophy and thus I will encourage her to explore every science lesson in the outdoors.
Today, as well as yesterday, I spent much of my time trying to get prepared for this new curriculum. I am impressed on the flow of the subjects within each other and that they are very Charlotte Mason friendly. I am currently, happy. We are doing our curriculum online, however, issues with internet, monitors, and sound, I've decided to change mode of delivery and therefore contacted the curriculum maker to get the lessons on DVD, which is another media venue they offer. It cost more, but it is more convenient, especially, when we are traveling on the road when there is no Wi-fi service. I hope that changing will not be an issue.
Until later, for there is more work to be done and no fun to be be had at the moment.
