The Joys of a Home Schooling Home

Well it seems as though the road of home schooling that we have been traveling on has passed a gigantic mile stone.

What is it you might ask?

Well it is bitter sweet for this Mom let me tell you.

Drum roll and cymbals crash!

Yes, Our last child has started kindergarten and has jumped into learning.  Since it is Gabriel, I literally mean JUMPED!  He jumps off of everything.

At our house kindergarten brings with it a ton of transformations, since it is an extremely hands on learning experience in our home. 

Gabe's latest fascination is making words with the magnet letters on the refrigerator. We started with the important things first. Names, I love how he put them in order, he came up with it all on his own.  Well, maybe family Bible time helped.  But it was a great lesson to talk about when he was done, anyway. 

Ahhh, the beauty of home school, every moment is a teachable moment.

The kids love it!  Seriously moms just keep saying it, like a mantra.  Since when they become teenagers they roll their teenage eyes at these most wonderful moments.

This is his latest creation. CUBSKISSHIDEIGLOOFOX or for those of us who can't read that, it says cubs-kiss-hide-igloo-fox.  None of us know why he wanted those words but he did.  The best part is when he showed his daddy. 

Gabe: "Daddy, look at the word I made."
Dad: "Wow, did you do it all by yourself?"
Gabe: "No, Mom and Cori are telling me the letters but I am doing all the work."
Dad: "Oh, OK, Good Job Buddy."

Well this concludes this bittersweet Mommy moment.  Hope you all enjoyed it as much as I did.
