History Fair

We had the homeschool history fair on Monday. I thought the kids did great and we had a lot of good information on our display board. The Trojan Horse was a big hit, especially at the end when we dragged kids around it in. We borrowed a big wagon from our friend Jane and built the Trojan horse on top. The kids pretended to be Greek soldiers, who jumped out to sack Troy!

Our Charlotte is back at The Gnu School! Very happy to have her back!

Schoolgirl

Here's our girl after her first day of school at Hartley. She was pretty wiped out!

Charlotte has been wanting to go to school for some time now. She likes to be busy, and she likes to know exactly what's going to be happening next. Also I think it'll be good for her to be around potential friends every day.

And so far it's going well! Her teacher said she's a good student. She likes getting little tokens for doing math, which she can use to purchase gummy bears, or special solo trips to the library. She really likes computers during "specials." She likes running a huge lap around the playground. She likes scootering to school and back and seeing all the neighborhood dogs -- she will always give them her own "woof, woof!"

We who are still homeschooling miss her so much! But we will support her efforts to learn, and we are here to help her with art projects, piano and playtime! And we are always available for curling up to read a good book.
