Henry and I spent some time outside today because the weather was absolutely glorious, and we had a nice, cool breeze. I put a quilt down for him to sit on, but once he got comfortable with being outside, he crawled all over the yard!
Here are some things we learned today:
~We learned about colors: "Henry, the blade of grass is green. The sky is blue."
~We learned about texture: "Doesn't the grass tickle your toes?"
~We learned about art: "Look, Henry, Mommy can make a ring out of this blade of grass!"
~We learned about science: "Henry, grass is for cows to eat, not for little boys to eat!" (said in a very stern voice)
~We learned about discipline: "When you eat the grass, Mommy will take it out of your mouth and make you sit with her for a minute."
~We learned about PE: "Henry, don't crawl into the flower bed!"
And who says little kids can't learn? ;o)
homeschool
See, your homeschooling already! :) ~ kt
No!!!!!!!!!!!!
haha...I prefer to think of it as taking advantage of "teachable moments." Homeschooling still connotes images of denim jumpers! :o)
Denim Jumper
I feel pretty sure (though I have never done research) that it is possible to homeschool without a denim jumper. In fact, I believe it is quite possible to go an entire homeschool career without one even entering the closet. I cannot promise this, but I am having a hard time seeing Adam and Eve either one in a jean jumper (if they wore jumpers it was probably fig leaf weave or buffalo fur and probably not denim). This is my current theory. ~kt
