Apr. 30, 2008 - Science Class

The boys and I have been attending a homeschool science class. This has been a really cool experience for us. We love it and the "socialization" ( I HATE that word!) is great too. The moms are taking turns hosting the class and teaching also. I have hosted twice and I am teaching 2 classes also. I haven't had my turn yet, but I am doing Fish and also Root systems. It is a good program and we are havining alot of fun. There are alot of hands on type activities and the end results are really cool. We ended up with a great Human Body book. We are currently working on a 5 Kingdoms book with tabs on the top. It is going to turn out really neat. We are going to continue through the summer with it, which is great since we do our best school in the summer anyways. The hands on activities are great and Nathan is learning so much. He doesn't seem to but then when we go over the lesson at home, he remembers! Matthew is enjoying being one of the "big kids" in the class, learning a little more in depth than the littler ones. He helps out also with his brother and Charlie.

We love Charlie and his brother Chris. Charlie is 7, with a mop of curly hair and the same barefoot style as Nathan. Their family lives on a canal. It is a cool place to go and visit for an afternoon. Nathan and Charlie are kindred spirits. They became fast friends. Chris is about 12. He and Matthew love to hang out together. Chris has a lizard in his room and plays the guitar. It was so cool to have some boys join our group. We have alot of little girls and if you have ever met Nathan, he has no time for little girls, lol.

So that is all for now, I guess. We are chugging along. I have to shampoo the carpets today. YUCK!

You can come to my house and shampoo if you're really bored? (lol).

The science class sounds great. Keep up the good work!
