First Day of School!
Homeschool, that is. We are doing a little preschool with some of our friends this year to get our feet wet with homeschooling. I really should have posted this on our homeschool blog, but I'll just link over to it. I'll be putting anything school related over there so it doesn't overwhelm this blog!
The kids did great. We split them up into three groups. Jaden and Luke are 4, so they did big boy things. Jaden learned how to write some of his numbers and letters. Baylee, Reese and Matt are in the "second oldest group" so as not to refer to them as the "middle group". =) They did some shapes and colors and basic line drawing and dot to dot. The little ones, I was in charge of. They just hung out and watched me be silly in order to keep their attention. (And to keep them away from their mommies, who were trying to teach the others.) We will be switching off every month with who's house we are at, and who is teaching which group.
In between their little lessons, they had playtimes, art and snacks. I was in charge of a little bible story and went over the story of Hannah, which they had learned in Sunday school. They also did a little coloring page with a memory verse, that hopefully they will all have memorized by next week. "God is my help." We got a few funny variations of it at the beginning.
We even had cupcakes for Aubrey's birthday. (Thanks, Anne!) He got to wear the blue birthday hat, and we sang to him. :)
