Week 1

It is a quite Saturday morning I have the house open and Ryan took the kids with him. Its actually the first time I've had a moment to reflect on all that has happened this week.

I brought Summer home.......... to school.

What has happened around here is amazing almost instantly my house turned into one of the most amazing learning centers. Summer is enjoying the change in learning she works hard to earn her 10-15 minute breaks which can be used however you want to. Summer uses it for a quick trip outside, she climbs trees swings and then happily hops back in after being called once to continue on with her work. Millie whom I was not planning on "teaching" vocalized her need and want for her own books and in the first week has mastered recognizing and writng her name the number 0, A and a. she also recognizes all the letters and numbers but we are working on writing them. She finishes worksheet after worksheet asking for more, we bought her a dry earse board to save some trees because she loves to work.

It was not all easy but it was good.

I'll take good anyday.

Today is saturday and Ryan and the girls are building their own outdoor messy table. This year we are studing Botany in science and this messy table is going to be where most of our "experiments" take place along with alot of messy fun!

PEACE
