This is a pretty telling view of our school day this morning. Tommy, Elizabeth, and I were still in our PJs. Susie was in the dirty tutu she’d worn the day before. Janie was in a diaper. Before I made it out to the table, the kids had gotten out the color wonder markers, so that bin was out. Then the 1st grade and 3rd grade bins, of course, and Susie pulled out the “school manipulatives” and preschool bins out so that she could find something to do. Bins (you can’t even see the fifth from here) and their lids crowding everything off the table. In this picture, Tommy is working on his Beast Academy math (still LOVING it!), Susie is using dry erase markers to trace shapes in a preschool book, Elizabeth is working on her handwriting, and Janie is playing with sorting beads. That’s my tea and untouched breakfast bowl on the table–a friend called at 7 am my time with some urgent homeschool questions, so I was slow this morning–and you can even see how filthy the floor is under the table. I think this was before someone spilled a full cup of water for the first of THREE times today. Also lots of random cups, cloth napkins, colored pencils, sticker pages, and lacing cards. It’s Charis Classical Academy, day three!
