Snapshot of Homeschool Preschool

After a rousing game of "Mother May I?", the homeschool preschool crew posed for this shot last week. I just love it. The looks on each face are terrific, showing six little fun-loving personalities, and how much their friendships have grown in the past ten months.

Last week's theme was on manners and helping at home. During circle time, the kids came up with examples of how they help their families — everything from holding their dad's hand while crossing the street (Eliza) to hugging their brother (Ethan) to fetching their twin's favorite blanket in times of need (Lucie). They are all so genuine, sweet, spontaneous, and eager to share at circle time.

This week we talked about visiting the doctor and dentist, a topic of much fascination for three-year-olds. They took turns playing the roles of doctor, nurse and mommy/daddy as their stuffed animals went in for check-ups. The most popular medical procedure performed on their furry friends? Shots! There's no getting behind on vaccines with these junior medical professionals.

We're coming to the end of the "school" year, with plans for a beach day, and a camping trip later in the summer. It's always a blast, and never dull or quiet, when these six get together.
