We painted models of the planets in our solar system… …and enjoyed snacktime in the sun.
School Time with Grandma

Last week, it was lovely having another teacher on hand to handle the preschool contingent and do the reading aloud while my voice was still recovering from my cold!
Homeschool Valentine’s Party
Posted in Elizabeth, Friends, Homeschooling, Susanna, Tommy on Feb 13th, 2016
Our park days have gotten more popular this year, so much so that I had to divide up the kids into multiple groups for our Valentine’s exchange. Somehow I’ve turned into the go-to person for organizing CBS homeschool park days, and it’s always the highlight of our week. Do these kiddos look like isolated homeschoolers […]
Preschool with the Little Girls
Posted in Homeschooling, Janie, Susanna on Feb 6th, 2016
How do I homeschool the big kids while keeping the little girls occupied, you ask? Well, they insist on doing their own “schoolwork,” too.

Watercolor Painting Like Aunt Jennifer!
Posted in Elizabeth, Homeschooling, Janie, Susanna, Tommy on Oct 11th, 2015
Well, maybe that title was a bit presumptuous. We don’t fancy ourselves professional artists here, but I did ask Jen to recommend art supplies to buy with our charter school money (and bought everything she said was best, despite the kids’ ages). The big order came in this week, and we pulled out our new […]
