Hello. I'm so excited to start Joy School with my boys! My Mother-in-law was doing such a great job providing Joy School for my boy, but unfortunately her schedule got too packed with other responsibilities and commitments that she had to stop. My boy loved it so much, that I decided to hold Joy School at our home. He's really excited about Mommy being his new teacher. He is 4 years old and an eager learner. His brother is 2, so I'm glad that the lesson plan activities will be able to entertain him as well. This blog is mainly going to be a journal about how our Lewis Joy School is going, and what we are doing. I'm very excited to get started and I hope everything goes well.

Today was the First day of Lewis Joy School! It was a little unorganized because of the lack of desk, and space, but my lil' man and I worked things out. We had Joy School in our living room on our coffee table. It actually worked pretty good. In the future I have plans to make him his own little desk/work area.

Anyways.... Today's lesson was - The Joy of Family Security, Identity and Pride part 3

We had a nice little discussion about Family Names. Last names mainly. This is one of the ways other people know who we are, who our Mom and dad are, and who our brothers and sisters are. We also discussed that we should be proud of our families.

Later we sang some songs, including "I've Got Joy".

J worked on some of his "Book" pages. Today's pages were about colors...


Then J drew his family in a house. He did such a great job. He used all of our family's favorite colors when he drew each one of us. 


I didn't get everything done that the lesson manual instructed that I do... but J had a fun time and so did I. He even started calling me "Teacher" haha. I told him that he could just call me "Mom" but he insisted that if he were in class and if I were teaching, that I were to be referred to as "Teacher".
