Aug. 11, 2007: Great First Week of Tandem Schooling!

So the first week of combining both PreK3 and K was a success! It went so well - better than I imagined and I didn't stress out or fuss over creating a "schedule" that would combine both curricula. :)

We just kind of tag-teamed through each child's lessons. The Pirate's first comment on Monday when I called him for Bible study was, "Finally!". He enjoyed getting to participate in some of his sister's crafts for her schoolwork. Of course, he had already done most of them before but he wanted to do them again!

The Pirate and the Princess each get to tell Dad about all their schoolwork that is posted on their respective walls when he is home in the evenings. Does that get noisy!

We took a day off on Wednesday to go see a free movie "Open Season". That was our official end to goofing off during the school week. :) Now that we're officially underway, I'm going to start us back on our Park Days to round out the school schedule. Once we've gotten into that rhythm, then I'll look into maybe signing the kids up for classes somewhere. We still have a community membership at the Y so I want to take advantage of that before it expires so perhaps it will be gymnastics. The Pirate refuses to take swimming lessons. Oh, well. We still have next year.
