little homeschool: 2011

About this blog

About this blog

A journal of my ideas on homeschooling. Also, a place to archive activities we've done and things we've learned along the way. I will showcase pros and cons of homeschool versus public school, as I work though these ideas and how they fit into my life. I, by no means, judge those who feel public school is a better fit for their family. It may be a better fit for our family one day too.

But where we sit right now is that the fit for our family is to have our children at home full-time. They are both not even school age. But our family's choice is to choose at home (and out in the world) care, learning and socialization by their mother (father, granparents, auntie) over daycare or preschool.

First sleep in big girl bed

a big milestone for baby girl today!

The three little pigs

We read the Three Little Pigs today, and Ander asked why the brick house didn't get blown down. So we made some little houses and tried to blow them down. Then we weighed each house and recorded on the abacus. "It was because the brick house was really heavy!".

Rainy day indoors

Science centre

We went in search of the frogs, our animal of the week. We found many other interesting things. Even Mommy learned some new things. Loved the exhibit on honey bees.
