Homeschool Days: Cool Youtube Videos for 1st Graders

(Yes.  This is just an average day of homeschooling for Lyrical.  She is so "too cool for school".  lol)

Learning should be fun.  And what could be more fun than learning to a melody.  Below are just a few videos that my daughter enjoys watching.  I also enjoy them as they help her learn some of the core 1st grade material!  :)

Counting by 2's, 5's and 10's - Your child should know how to do this by the end of 1st grade.


Months Of The Year - Your child should know the months of the year by the end of 1st grade.


Counting to 100 - Your child should know how to count to 100 with no problem by the end of 1st grade.


Days of the week:  Your child should know the days of the week by the end of 1st grade.  (They should actually know this by the end of pre-school) but we still like to sing this one.  :)


Pretty cool huh?  Hooray for youtube!!  I'll be sharing a lot more cool youtube videos as I run across them.  :)

Always wishing you success in Love and Life,

Homeschool Days: Still Learning Sight Words

Today was one of my good days.  I breezed through my daughters lessons with her and redecorated her room to look more like a classroom.  It is awesome!  It puts both of us in the mood to learn.

I've been focusing on teaching Lyrical all of her sight words for the past month and she is having so much fun learning to read.  It is very exciting!  :) 

I take a lot of breaks from our lessons during the day.  While I handle other important business during the day I have found youtube to be very helpful in keeping her occupied while reinforcing everything that I taught her before break time.

You can find just about anything on youtube and when it comes to children's learning videos... there are an abundance of them!  Below are some really good ones I found today on 1st grade sight words.

Happy READING!!
