I have previously blogged and know the time it takes to sit and share your day can be difficult in an already full schedule! I wanted to say thank you very much for your time in doing this as it has really cleared up how I go about form drawing in a weekly rhythm.

They drew forms in their book - just the forms, but didn't copy the Water Nixie illustration into their books. I might have been concerned it was *too much* at the time, though we drew a lot of pictures with the learning of letters.

I think this is going to go on for some time, as homeschoolers. She likes to pretend school with her brother, calling for recess and the like. And, the backpacks get constant use. I always thought it was because she has good memories of preschool two years ago.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876893946424365294.post-9547010364631449272009-08-23T18:48:57.175-07:002009-08-23T18:48:57.175-07:00Hello, I just discovered and see that you are doin...Hello, I just discovered and see that you are doing lots of wonderful things here!

Your girls' form drawings are wonderful and they certainly are getting into the swing of it. I love your chalk drawing of the water nixie story too. You guys are certainly doing great!!

I am very excited to be enbarking on waldorf inspired home schooling this year as well, but we will not start until September.

So many people thought I was not giving myself enough time to deal with my grief after Caleb died. But I know if all of my children were gone during the day I would probably crawl into a hole and pull the hole in after.<br />Anyway, I asked the children if they would rather go to public school and they all expressed their desires to leave. All except Nathan who had tried it for a month and didn't care for it. They want recess and Megan just wants to get out. I explained to them that recess is something we can work into our day but that going to school would take away so many freedoms. Every time they asked me for something throughout the day that they couldn't have/do at public school I would remind them of this.<br />They will NOT be going to school. Home we will stay and the new style of teaching I'll be using will afford more freedom of expression than in the past. I am also taking in children for after school care so the desire to socialize outside the family more will be fulfilled.<br />I think there is always that curiosity of the unknown. While growing up I always thought how much fun it must be to live in an apartment or have a compact car or even to be an only child.
