It's been a really great morning...

Robin and I were both rested starting the school day, I had prepared, communication was nice and strong between us...everything I've hoped for in the whole homeschooling process!

*whew*

Social Studies was particularly fulfilling. We did a feedback check last week where I asked her what she still felt shaky on. One of the things she mentioned was that she was having problems retaining dates in Social Studies. It's a skill I'd like her to get sooner rather than later.

So, we started creating a timeline of the dates we've reviewed so far. After we were finished, we hung it on the bedroom door. Now every time she leaves or comes in, she'll see the dates and *hopefully* eventually they will stick.

Then it was on to the Constitution, and I really feel like I'm going at the right pace. We covered the purpose of the Constitution as laid out in the Preamble, and the areas laid out by each of the Articles. Robin practiced taking notes, and we had good discussion.

We'll go into more detail article by article, starting tomorrow.

*happy sigh* A little focus can yield really wonderful results sometimes.
