Introducing Mars Hall Legacy Academy

One of the fun things I have seen several of the home-school families do around here is to name their "school". Its nice to create a nifty little hashtag when sharing photos on social media. And for the kiddos to be able to say what "school" they go to when people ask.

Over the past few weeks I have been thinking about what to call our little school and yesterday I came up with "Mars Hall Legacy Academy"

So there you have it. We are now going to be know as that when we are talking about what school we are going do. 

A logo of sorts will be coming shortly but for now we will jump into the intro to our first week of school

Kindergarten

Arielle has begun Kinder this year!

This week is all about the creation story found in Genesis 1 and 2. We will be creating a creation book, reading through the creation story in the Bible and learning fun songs that focus on God's wonderful creation. 

Bible: Genesis 1 and 2. Reading the Creation Story and discussing what God did each day of Creation

Math: Creation days  posters focusing on the numbers

Science: Creation book

Language Arts: Learning the ABC song and getting familiar with each of the 26 letters and what the look like.

Extra: Music songs like BINGO, The BIBLE, and Old MacDonald. Gymnastics continues every Friday.

1st Grade

Dartanion has begun 1st grade. Here is an overview of his first week of school

Bible:  This week we begin in Matthew and the life and ministry of Jesus

Math: Refreshers on counting and sorting. We will also start discussing Odds and Evens later in the week.

Science: This week in Science we begin with Life Science. We will begin with the body, skin, and muscles.

History: Ancient Egypt. ( I am really excited about this one!)

Language Arts: For the first half of the year we will be following the "Learn to Read" lessons so that Dart can get a better grasp on his reading before jumping into the chapter books in the lessons. So this week in language arts we are doing some blending sounds and sight word reviews.

Extras: Music and Art in nature made by God. Gymnastics continues every Friday as well. 

We are also reading together during lunch and talking about what we have read. 

So there you have it. This weeks at-a-glance. 

Come back Friday to see what we learned and see some fun pictures!
