Circle Time

We've gotten settled into our homeschool routine for Bella, and every morning we start out doing what we call circle time. It's called various things in preschool. circle time. rug time. carpet time...whatever. we should really call it Hallway time, since we do it in the hallway, but o-well. We start out by doing our days of the week, then talking about today (day of the week, month of the year, date), then we do Bella's bible verses, go over the letter of the week (this week it's the letter I), read our bible story, and maybe even sing a song or two about the season, or what we're learning about. Bella looks forward to it every day. After circle time, we do our "school time" where we paint, write letters, do activities, or whatever...but circle time apparently is her favorite :) Here's some things that she has been learning:

Bella's Bible Verses

Counting to 30: this one she's still working on a bit, but she's doing pretty good.
