Getting You Caught Up

Since last we left our schoolroom, many changes have occurred.  Baby #4 has arrived, hence the delay in posting.  So, now to get you caught up, slowly, on what's happening in the schoolroom.

I am learning how to homeschool with 1 kindergarten student, 2 preschoolers, and a newborn.  Needless to say, the learning curve is quite wiggly.  Thankfully, it's kindergarten.  We make sure to do the 3R's (reading, 'riting, 'rightmetic) at least 3 times per week.  Then we read, play, read, help mommy, play, read, help daddy, and read.  I'm sure once we get past the next few weeks and the baby starts sleeping through the night, I might have more insight.  Hey, a teacher can hope.

We also started our herbs for our garden.  The children had a great time putting soil into the growing cups and planting the seeds.  Their favorite part was watering the planting cups.

More grow cups that must be in a line for easier counting.
