Early Learning

One of the things I love about homeschooling is that the younger children learn so much from the older children. We start them out early here in our home.

Here is Matthew working on math with Alia

Matthew has also started his intro to physics with dad.

And he has been practicing his conversation skills...

Ashlie's drawings

Usually with children the parent provides the enriching activities for them each day. However, Ashlie took it upon herself to make sure that I had some activities to do lately.

She drew a lot of dot to dots for me to do. Here is an example of a rearing pegasus unicorn. After I did the dot to dot she colored some more on the paper to make it a whole scene. She made sure to encourage me while I did the dot to dot and on the mane and tail parts made sure I knew to go "up and down in a zig zag".

Yesterday she came up to me smiling and handed me this paper...

Then she said with an excited look on her face "I wonder if there's any more...". She suggested that I might look upstairs. On my way up I found another Lost Centaur in the hall and another in my room. Ashlie made sure to tell me "good job, you found all three" when I had found them.

Here is a couple pictures from Ashlie that I thought were nice. They are pretty self explanatory...

I found this note yesterday. I guess she's learning diplomatic ways of handling problems.

Needless to say, Madelyn was talked to by me about hitting others.
