All Work & No Play

This afternoon, I was talking with the boys about the busyness of our week:

Mom:  ...and on Thursday we're going to get together with other homeschooling families at a park in Green Bay.

Kolbe:  Oh!  What are we going to do there?

Mom:  Well, we'll bring a picnic lunch and play at the park.  Then, we can meet some other kids that are homeschooled.

Kolbe:  Aw, that's boring.  I thought we were gonna do school work.

Something tells me he wouldn't be receptive to the term "summer vacation".

I want to know what curriculum you use if Kolbe likes it so much!

We'll be taking family photos on Thursday so we may not make it to park day. Hopefully, we'll meet soon.

Blessings,
Katie

We're doing Montessori. It's very child-led. I think that's what he likes the most, if he wants to work on Math, we work on Math, as long as he wants, etc.

That's the "pro". The "con" is that Mom has a LOT of work to setup the activities...

It's going good but it's not without it's frustrations. =]
