C.O.'s first outside class...

C.O had his first 'enrichment' class yesterday - art, music, and free play... about an hour and a half long. He loved it! There were 17 other homeschooled kids there, ranging from kindergarten up to second grade. They sang a song about apples, made apple-print placemats (the kind where you cut an apple in half, dip it in poster paint & make a print), drew pictures, played legos, then had lunch/a snack outside and played in the playground. On Wednesday, it's art & science. C.O. loved playing with all the kids, and his teacher said he was really sweet!

We're having loads of fun homeschooling. We've 'studied' the planets, the structure of the Earth & how earthquakes happen, math, reading, cooking, writing, art, number patterns, suction, gravity, and more, just in the last few days... and it feels so much more flowing than school did for me. Today when I got home from work, C.O. had made a number chart on his Magna-Doodle, from 0-13, to show me - he made it all on his own, and all correctly. C.J. had made a drawing of a happy face that she said was of her (her first self-portrait).
I just hope it stays this easy, at least for a while!
