Why Homeschool Rocks

Here's why I love homeschool: ...because when we are done our work, we can do this:


And it was fun until a neighbor ran over to tell us there were rattlesnakes up there:


So we went to the beach.


And then went to one of our favorite restaurants:


Then we hit the splash park. 


We were the only people there. It was great because it was a lot easier to keep track of everyone:

Spaceships and Ducks

Last Wednesday we went to the park...ran into a duck...fed the duck...and he stalked us from that moment forward:


Then we headed over to a music and movement class:



The Wiz only wanted to take the instructors suitcases:


And find the TV remote:


Afterwards, the kids made a restaurant called "sweet restaurant" and it is Jesus's favorite restaurant according to Princess. Now that's a good review!!!


I've been trying out the Reggio approach and we love it:


Son loves putting stickers on paper to form letters:
 

I had some empty boxes and the kids really took an interest in them and wanted to make spaceships. I found everything space shippy that owned and they loved making the ships:
 



Wiz has found a new activity. Turning the fish tank light on and off:
