All Three in School

This is our third year to homeschool, and my first year to officially teach all three kids with Rooke in fourth grade, Gretchen in second, and Bridgette jumping in to kindergarten.  My days are full, and I am grateful for the support and encouragement from the community we are a part of here.  

We do a lot of piano practicing!  My favorite is when they play together on their own =)

Every now and then we find ways to all work together, in the same room, at the same table, without bothering one another!  Snacks help =)

We do a LOT of reading . . .

Sometimes we take our work to the park . . .

And we love field trips!!  What a treat to learn about the Declaration of Independence, and then put our eyes on the actual document!  Ryan was able to join us for this particular field trip, which always makes our time more fun =)

Our most recent field trip was with friends to Historic St. Mary's: Maryland's first capital and the fourth permanent English settlement in North America.

Gretchen played soccer this Fall and Aunt Vallerie got to join us for a couple of the games!

Costco lunch is always a good way to break up the day

Afternoon imaginary play with special friends

We work through plenty of conflict every day, but I love seeing their friendships grow
