Monday or "Day 1"

We had a slow and lazy day. We didn't go outside at all. Being in nature is very important to the Charlotte Mason (CM) method. She wanted kids to be outside even in the rain if possible. She understood a child might be sick, but if everyone was well they needed to be outside! I totally agree, however I just didn't want to push them today. Nobody wanted to go out. I think it was because the weather was cold, windy, and nasty.
We read a couple of books. We read "Julie's Jungle" and counted to four several times. Miranda can count to 12, but Molly counts, "one, two, one, two". We watched a video about color and music. I got out the Bible, but they wouldn't listen to me. Molly said, "No Jesus." We watched an alphabet video. We reviewed colors using some crayon pics.
I read several poems and sang some songs to them. We talked a little about the storm. They played with blocks. We made Miranda's bed and sang, "clean up, clean up, everybody clean up." They picked up their blocks. I noticed that Miranda will slowly pick up one block at a time, and Molly will pick up several at a time.
