Homeschooling plan for the week.

So I'm going to get into the habit of posting the plan for each week, partially for a written record, partially to let people who love my kids know what's going on.

Week of August 17-21:Its painting week. I'll be following EarthSchooling Watercolor camp

Verse: I like Red, Bi 58
Spanish Verse: Me gusta el color Rojo Bi 58
Music (fingerplay this week, I'll start recorder lessons next month) Now that I am four Bi 48

Monday:
All day at Kaiser's Autism Spectrum Clinic
Tuesday:
Intro to painting, story to introduce colors Rainbow Gnomes (Camp, 14), walk through painting set up (clean water in jars, painting rags, smocks, painting boards, soaking paper, sponging paper, keeping "Gnomes Beard" clean. Two colors today, Red with the Apple and Star sotry (Camp) Blue with Turtle and Skybowl
Wednesday:
Review set up, Colors Yellow with Purse of Gold, Intro to Secondaries, painting red and adding yellow.
Thursday:
Review set up, More secondaries creation, Red background and adding blue, blue background and adding yellow.
Friday:

depending on how well this goes I may go beyond intro'ing the secondaries and do a full blown lesson with stories. I'm trying to keep this fun and an introduction on how to do the wet on wet watercolor painting. And yes, the girls will be joining us for these session, they are completely appropriate. And like I could really keep them away, lets be real.

The weekend,

BUSY!

Girls birthday party on Saturday (OH Shit! I just remember I forgot to take them in for their 4 y.o. portrait. I'll have to do that some day this week) It was a good party, but a very tiring one for me. The water slide was a big hit, everybody had lots of fun, those who didn't show, just missed out. Since it was a small party, I just made a GF chocolate cake. I'm loving the new flour...it was a really good cake.

Sunday. Lots of kid wrangling and visiting with friends. Got to watch 5 episodes of Avatar (W00t!) more BBQ, and pass out at 10. I've got to get more sleep, this 10 pm or later bedtimes are killing me.
