Anyone wonder what my (older) kids do on Mondays and Wednesdays while I teach preschool?
Play. Yep. That’s about it…
board games, legos, snap circuits, draw, tell each other stories, etc…
a time to “just be” and get along together (for the most part). *smile*
I think it is great that you post this! I am always curious how other families do it and being new (to starting) it is quite helpful =)
I agree, it is helpful! I love seeing how others ‘do their day’, even after 11 yrs of homeschooling and having my own groove. *smile*
I agree, I feel that part of home school is doing some of the teaching. I think they get more that way. 🙂
