what we study

Have I told you how much fun I have homeschooling? For those of you interested, here are some things we are reading and doing in Savannah's curriculum. In math she is learning place value. We also have an art and P.E. curriculum. I have a co-op that meets at my house on Tuesdays and there we all share teaching responsibilities.

The books we read. Savannah woke up really early one morning so I sent her back to her room to look at books until I was ready to get up. She came out with "Little Bear" and said "Mom, I can read this!" and she hasn't stopped since! It is not unusual to see her reading stories to Meggie and Ava. What a good help when I'm trying to cook dinner... or blog.

We are also studying continents, countries, and landforms. Meggie and Ava also like to participate and help us create posters for each of the countries. When they don't want to participate they are good playmates for each other. Meggie is getting really good at bouncing back and forth between the roles of little sister and big sister!

Looks like a lot of work. Did I tell you I'm NOT smarter than a
5th grader? Good thing Ryan knows math.

Yeah, I would love to homeschool the kids but I don't think I'm a good enough teacher, and I'm not just saying that. You taking any new students? :)
