First day of school

Wow summer has come to a close school is underway at Jones Academy where this year we have a 6th grader 5th grader kindergarten and 2 pre-k'ers

I have to say our morning is off to a rough start with my 5th grader starting the same "I'm stupid, how do u do this" game he's played in the past with his other teachers. It's very frustrating when it comes to your own child and trying to break the "bad habits" they were taught in public schools.

So how our day started
645am wake up
700am breakfast
800am studies start

Today we did a light load to ease back into studies so we did some spelling refreshers from last years spelling words we used www.homespellingwords.com for our printed and practice spelling lists. They also offer some spelling games online for kids to practice their spelling word.

After spelling we did math, last week I had the older kids do math placement tests to help me figure out what information they had forgotten over the summer. So today we worked on missing numbers and long addition seems to be taking a toll on the kids but it will come back to em
