It's only the 2nd day of school and Teagan is ripping apart my nicely planned out year like a madwoman! Her Language Arts is pretty much laid out for me. There is spelling, vocab, chapter books, phonics, and creative exploration (or something like that). It's Sonlight and I HIGHLY recommend. Sometimes it calls for her to read one chapter a day, sometimes more. Books are planned out in order of difficulty. I have every day planned out to the last day of school as to what she is to read. She read the first chapter yesterday, and was supposed to read the second chapter today.
But, every time I turned around today she was reading out of that book!! I'm like, "Teagan, what are you doing? You're only supposed to read the second chapter today!"
Well, come 9:30 p.m. she's done with it. A whole week of reading lesson plan done in two days. She grinned from ear to ear and asked, "What book do I start tomorrow?"
Well, Teagan, I don't know. Why don't you just go ahead and read all 15 books. LOL!
This is where I'm supposed let her work ahead as she takes an interest in reading (a nice perk of homeschooling)....But my well planned and organized year is at stake! The organization I have longed for is slipping away!
I'm kidding, sort of. I'll let her read ahead as long and as far as she wants to. It's not like lesson plans are etched in stone. And, the first couple of books are really easy to read, fun books to get students interested.
Note to self: Do not print lesson plans out for the entire year until the year is over.
