The joys of homeschooling

I love homeschooling. I love being able to change our schedule without "missing" something. I love not being attach to the school calendar. Today is a gorgeous day here. They have been so rare that I decided we had to take advantage of it.

We did "do school" this morning. Corey worked on math, vocabulary and spelling, phonics. I gave Samuel a pre-writing activity to do. My free spirited child decided that doing strait lines were too boring. I can't blame him on that. So he drew a great looking car and ladybug on the sheet instead. I had plan to work on their Easter lapbook this afternoon and to continue reading Treasure Island to Corey.

Well the afternoon schedule got change to playing outside. The snow has melted enough (it's about time!!!!!!!!) that the kids can actually play outside with being buried alive.

An other joy of homeschooling is that you take a "vacation" when you want. So next week no school for the Kennedy's. Jeff is taking the week off. We will be doing some day trips. We are thinking of taking the kids to the Dr. Seuss' museum in Springfield. We may also go to my MIL for a couple of days and maybe take the kids to the aquarium in Boston.

I really love homeschooling!!!!!!!!!!!
