Carschooling 8)

Yesterday was an awesome day! We had been planning a trip North to see friends who recently moved about 2 1/2 hours away. After having to postpone 1 time, we finally made it. The kids were up early, packed up and left by 8 am! I had not "planned" on schooling (formally) however, it just naturally happened. Our Letter of the Week is "H" this week and the children were just naming things left and right that they were seeing on the way with H in them. Billboards, signs, side of trucks...words were everywhere! We traveled through the Catskill Mountains and were in awe of the colors of the leaves. The children were great on the trip and kept coming up with H words the entire way.

While we were there having fun with our friends, we even broke out their white board and "had school"! The kids just gravitate to learning. We had a nice time with our buddies and the ride home everyone slept!

When we got home, I made homemade pizza and then the kids wanted to do their usual Monday work in their workbooks etc. I did not argue 8)

All in all and great day carschooling and more!

Collage Friday and a Video

We have had a good week here in NY. The snow is melting and the signs of spring are everywhere!  I am ready for the light coat and to put away my Uggs for the season.   Zachary worked on the Women and Children of the Revolutionary War - and some fun Scholastic - Super Science!  He is always working on his IPAD playing Scrabble, Words with Friends, Monopoly, Stack the States and Stack the Countries.
