Grammy School Marathon

Grammy's been teaching school more than I have so I haven't been blogging. Here's a sum-up of some recent days:

Last Tuesday we went to Laurel's house. Grammy and Amy left earlier while Noel was at Joy School so they just had school together. They read Laurel's Bob Books.

Here are her notes from Wednesday's school:
Exercise - the Bonnie scoot (the way I crawled before I could walk) and bean bag balance
America Moment - "We the People" song
Lesson - Manners. Noel and Amy had good manners when it was time to clean up.
Grammy Activity - city, farm, doll house, roads, cars
Amy Activity - world and USA puzzles
Noel Activity - catch

I think Thursday she taught too.

This week:
Monday and Tuesday we were dealing with poop school. Yesterday we fit in a few activities too. Amy's obsessed with listening to Power Tales tapes and reading the books. So we listened together. Grammy wasn't feeling well but woke up to play with the girls and show them how we could make word families with interchangeable first letters with blocks.

Today:
Grammy started while I was out on a lunch date with Matt.
Exercise - Bonnie scoot races.
America Moment - "We the People"
Introduce Class - Word Families
Lesson - Amy and Grammy read Peter and Jane while Noel and I worked on shapes on whiteboards. (I came home in time.)
Amy and Noel wanted to color for their activities. I drew a picture and then organized our school shelves. Grammy started some sewing she's been wanting to work on. The girls kept coloring and coloring.
Closing Class - practice session about taking turns getting the door and what to do if a sister runs off when you want to talk to her. We also talked about the school shelf organization and what kids can get by themselves and what they have to ask permission for.
Closing Prayer - Grammy.

Noel and Amy can't get enough of school. We like it too.
