A Snapshot of an Ordinary Day: 4th Year and K

It occurred to me that I often post experiments, field trips, and reading, but not much writing or just an ordinary work day. Here are all three of my precious children, with Beauty happy to be in the thick of things. She loves "doing school" with Builder and Ballerina. I love homeschooling.

Our First Week 2012-2013 Year, Part II

As I mentioned in my previous post, we started on Labor Day. However, this was a light day. I took their pictures, recorded their height and weight, favorite food, toy, song, movie, and lesson (subject) and asked them three fun questions:

What would you like to learn?
What do you want to be when you grow up?
What else would you like to talk about?

They tell me, and I record their answers on my sheet. This year it was extra enjoyable, as I had two children to do these with. I can see how different they are. Builder said his favorite movie was Tintin and that he wanted to be a detective. Ballerina said she wanted to be an animal doctor - not a vet - and an artist, and predicted her favorite lesson would be Art. Here are their pictures on the first day of school.
