Aile and Anaya go to school...

...but they don't go far! :) We are homeschooling this year! Pre-Kindergarten, but our enthusiastic students might fool you into thinking this is a college prep course! They love to learn, and are having a great time with our character-based curriculum. Since I am posting this so late, I can cheat and bring it up to date more, hee hee. :) So far, we have learned about being Attentive, Obedient, Truthful and are now learning about Gratefulness. Each lesson has a nature story, and historical story (about Abraham Lincoln), and many crafts, games, object lessons, and a song to use in teaching the character trait.

Here's Aile on her first morning of Pre-K:

Here are Aile and Anaya displaying their "Attentive Deer" that they made during craft time. Using animals to portray character traits has proved to be quite a success, and helpful in general with parenting as well, surprisingly enough.
