School days

We started back with school in full force at the beginning of the new year, which brought back that nice rhythm to our days. When we moved all three beds into the same room, we had an extra room, now deemed the "Activity Room. It houses their dressers, the toys and all our books and homeschooling things. We had been schooling in the dining room, which sometimes presented a challenge keeping Liam out of trouble. It is working better in the Activity Room, since all his toys are in there and he can't escape as easily. Here is what we have been up to:
Isaac's godmother, Aunt Patty, sent him a workbook as a Christmas gift so he could do school just like Issy. He loves it! He is very bright and catches on very quickly. I love his enthusiasm.
Liam playing with some toys while I worked with the other kids. See how neatly he lined them up? Yup, then he knocked them down with glee.
Issy working on math, while Ewok the cat joins in.


Part of school today was working on the map of the USA that Isaac got for Christmas. It was a nice break from doing workbooks and undoubtedly educational. Especially for this geography-challenged Mama :)
