Homeschooling the boys

Comment Published at 18:0618:060 comments0 comments6 Visits6 VisitsReport

Well, last week was Daniels last week of kindy. I am now homeschooling all of my children. I think I was just allowing him to go to kindy to keep my parents happy (they don't agree with homeschooling) and that wasn't making me happy. Anyway, Daniel arriving at kindy on Monday morning and giving his teacher a hug and a kiss, and telling her how much he loves her and that I am a nasty mummy, made me realise that I should be doing what I believe is the right thing to do. Not what my parents want me to do. So he had his last day on Wednesday, said his farewells... So now we are incorparating a 'kindy' day into our homeschooling routine. Monday will be 'kindy' day. A day of paint, playdough, colours, alphabet, counting etc... Which at the moment also includes cooking and gardening, as I am ultra busy cooking produce from the garden and getting seeds and garden beds ready for planting. Amber is excited about having a 'lazy' day. Thats what she thinks of kindy day, but she will still be learning lots, even if she doesn't realise it. Life is the biggest lesson of all in this world! I much prefer to be teaching my children that lesson, than sending them off to strangers. So this week we are learning about nutrition and all the foods we should eat and which ones we should limit, and the benefits of a healthy diet. Which is a good subject as I can incorporate maths, reading, cooking, gardening, english, science, health studies, phys ed etc into one lesson. Hopefully it will stop raining long enough for us to take a walk!
