This is what school looks like for us

I'm sure you are all SO interested in knowing what it looks like for us to go to school everyday. I thought I'd show you.

Here are the two little girls, watching Living Scripture movies in the living room. They are so cute.

Here is the school room, with all the computers and students busy at work.

Art Project - Luminaries

We did an art project IN school! I had read a bit of the lesson and knew it was coming and knew exactly what I would do, but didn't get any of the stuff ready so it was still kind of crazy. The kids were so excited to do a project and had a lot of fun with it. We used baby food jars, tissue paper and watered down glue. They even wanted to put their pictures on them, so I quickly took a picture of each child, printed it out and they cut them out and there you have it! We even let Domonique join us and she did great - "I do it by myself!" I have to mention that the lesson said you could use them for place markers for your Thanksgiving dinner. Yes, that's how far behind we are! Oh well. We even let the kids light them during dinner and they thought that was just great! It was a fun craft... Now I just have to figure out what to do with them.

This is what school looks like.

At least for us. We moved the school room upstairs and moved the guest room downstairs. It seems to be working out just fine. Poor Kemiah has not quite adjusted to playing by herself - the baby takes a nap during school. Some times she just sits outside the doorway with a doll and watches. Anyway, each of the kids has their own desk and the room is always bright with the huge south facing window letting in all the sunshine (the shade is usually up).



The kids are doing great with the work on the computer, as well. Kemiah likes to listen as they do their Spanish (maybe she'll pick up the vocablary, too).



Domonique enjoys sitting at the desks and has figured out how to climb into the seat all on her own.
