Learning to Sew

Homeschooling Group Class

Today, the girls started their 1st Homeschool Group class. This one meets once a month at a local Bamboo Farm. They'll be learning about plants and gardening. Both of them were nervous but super excited. Aidan was especially excited because she sometimes mourns the fact that she will not attend "real school" where she can interact with teachers and other classmates. 

 She was picked as line leader and LOVED it. (Can you tell?) During the whole class she worked hard to become "teacher's pet" and learned the hard lesson that to the teacher... she was just another kid and that the world did not revolve around her.

 Ainsley was a little unsure about everything... especially when Aidan wasn't near her... but every time she noticed me looking at her... she'd flash a big grin and wave.

Umm... Ainsley... that's WAY too much dirt!

Planting Sunflowers

The class ended in the organic garden where the gardener walked them around and told them facts about plants and how to care for them. See where A & A are? They both stuck like glue to the teacher so they wouldn't miss anything. My little brown nosers!  :-)

JOY

 Finally!

First Day

 

My Kindergartner and my 2nd grader! 

(Well, I have to declare them as something)

Ainsley was so excited that she continued

 to work during her "Free" times.

 Aidan loves her schedule. She followed it exactly and kept exclaiming "I'm so happy we're finally doing school!"  From this first day, I know I'll be tweaking the schedules a little but for the most part.... they worked well. I just underestimated Ainsley's attention span and I need to add things to Aidan's.
