Did you know no one sees the same rainbow? How about that it's round? I sure didn't!
H picked the topic of rainbows this week. I enjoy when it is her turn to pick what we learn about because I always end up learning something new.
How our days went for Rainbow week
8 am breakfast, get dressed, hair put their dirty laundry downstairs.
8:30 am Now that it is milder in the mornings we have gone back to walking in the mornings. One of the mornings we did a rainbow walk and the kids loved it so much that once we finished the sheet they started it all over again!
9 am either workbooks or worksheets. I alternate each day so the kids don't get bored with doing the same thing every day.
15-minute break. On this 15 min break, I get everything ready for the next activity, put laundry in, hand wash the dishes that need to be washed, empty and reload the dishwasher.
930am Journals and a letter sheet. (These are great for H learning her letters and the other children to keep working on letter sounds.)
15-minute break outside. I empty the dishwasher, answer clients and make their snacks.
10:00 am Snack While they eat their morning snack this month we are reading about one women in history from the book 101 Women in History
We talk about how things were, how things still are for many women in the world and how far we still have to go.
10:30 am Rainbow activity or video (If its a video then fold and put away laundry while they are watching a video.)
11:00 am They have free time to do whatever they would like (this amount of time depends on how long things took us.)
In this "free time" I work on client orders and make lunch
12:00 pm LUNCH
12:30 pm reading. They each get to read their book with me and do the sight word cards as well as the sight word wall. (The books and the sight word changes every three days)
1:00 pm "Online learning" They each get a turn using the learning app on my phone called Khan Kids. They each have a profile and play what I consider one round. One round is playing until they get a prize.
1:30 PM They have until snack to free play. I sweep, clean up and work on client orders.
2:00 pm snack. I start dinner at this point.
15minutes outside.
Then they have until dinner to free play.
4:30 pm Dinner
5:30 pm walk dogs
6:30 pm start baths. When I start baths I get out the painting I have been working on and work on it while each child gets to play in the tub for 10mins.
7:15 pm snack, stories, teeth and bed.
At about 8:45 pm everyone is asleep, which means I get to work on client orders, cleaning, folding laundry and getting everything ready for the next day's schooling.
Here are links to the videos and activities that we did.

I love this guys videos!
This one wasn't great for kids but I liked it.
This isn't a video about how rainbows are formed because you can only watch the same information so may times but it is a book read on video about rainbows.
