Doing "School" ~preschool style.
We are part of a weekly homeschool co-op that gets together every Tuesday for classes. Besides having a chance to hang out with a whole group of friends for the day, the boys have music classes, and art, show and tell (public speaking) and all kinds of fun stuff. The co-op is in addition to the regular school that we do at home, you know the "important" things, like language arts, math, science...
I often take the little girls to hang out and "do school" with the preschool class. At first both Claire and Little Miss H were shy and didn't really know what to do. But now after a few weeks they really enjoy spending and hour or two in there with the bigger kids (mostly 3 and 4 year olds) while I help out where I'm needed in the co-op.
Doing "School" ~a field trip.
On Monday afternoon I took the kids on a field trip to the Sequoya Birthplace museum. Matthew and Ethan are studying Native Americans. And Matthew needed to write a report on the first people in Tennessee. I went to this museum as a child... it is exactly the same as it was when I was in 6th grade!
Hi Rachel,
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by. I am sure your boys will LOVE the thing at Bass Pro, it is definitely worth going to.
Such a beautiful bunch of kids you have here too!
Hi Rachel

Hi Rachel,
ReplyDeleteSuch loveliness you've been up to, and with a baby and puppies too! I love the little wool hats, adorable! Congrats on the blog award, well-deserved!
As for how cute kids and play-dough are together...well, that may not be exactly right, since your children are gorgeous no matter what they are doing, but "doing preschool" is my favorite time in the whole school experience. Lovely posts.
