Mommy School

We are focusing on “The Natural World” (plants and animals), American History, and basic Spanish this year for mommy school.  We started history with Christopher Columbus.  We built the Santa Maria, Nina, and La Pinta.  Our neighbor, Neeru, helped us.

We talked about the seasons and did something special each day that corresponded with that season.  Summer- picnicked with Cheryl at the park, Fall- carved peppers, Winter- went ice skating, Spring- went on a bike ride.

For Spanish, we learned colors, numbers and articles of clothing.  We played a game dressing Reagan up to practice the words for clothing.  Reagan is adorable in her bufanda.

We bought a sheet from Goodwill and made the American flag.  We talked about the symbols of the colors, the number of stripes and stars and Hunter labeled the stars with each state’s abbreviation.  It was a fun project.

We love America! 

Hopefully the kids will gain a love of learning.
