On Saturday we returned from three weeks in New England. On Sunday the kids all started their new Sunday School classes. On Monday, Monkey had his first day of "school" in Santa Barbara. On Tuesday we had our first MOMS session at church (during which the monkey started a homeschool literature-based enrichment class that the other homeschooler moms and I collaborated to create, hiring a teacher). Today Roo has her first first "Little Saints" preschool class, which meets every Wednesday morning and rotates among the homes of the mothers who corporately run it. So I will teach once every six weeks and assist once every six weeks. This morning I worked for about an hour with monkey on his homeschool work, which we do in dribs and drabs throughout the week when time permits.
Way to hit the ground running!
Monkey's "school," called Artios Academy, meets every Monday morning from 8:45 - 12:45 and covers history, art, drama, and music. His first day report: "It was awesome! I can't wait to go back next week." His friend Josh is in his class, Primary A (for 5- and 6-year-olds) with him.
For social studies we are studying the states of New England, along with their capitals. Here you can see monkey's attempts to write the name of each state.
