We are still on Chinese New Year break from school. This is the last week. Meanwhile, we have been plugging along with home school and enjoying neighborhood friends...
Before bed time one night Sophia had a friend over and Tobin plopped down right in between them to color.
They all sat there and drew for a while before bed!
We had some super cool visitors stay with us last week which coincided with 'Home school week'. Home school week is where a teacher comes and teaches the kids all week in super fun areas that we may not get the time to do (the teacher lives in China). The theme was 'under the sea' and they read books, learned songs, and did science and language arts activities that all had to do with the theme! It was a blast, they loved it! This also freed me a bit to relax more and enjoy our guests without the stress of homeschooling. It was a great week to help me get my breath and plan a bit. Plus we started baby G on solids, so more time was needed to adjust to that big game changer!
Weather here is gorgeous. Low fifties at night, mid-seventies in the day.
Plans are being made for our time in the U.S. (late May to late Aug).
Thinking through next year's homeschool and any needed changes (on the theme of RELAX)
We decided to let Sophia try Chinese First grade in the fall (which is why our U.S dates are earlier).
We have a part time helper since our old helper got married. It is working out pretty well.
Sophia did the dishes all by herself tonight! And we haven't even started 'allowance' yet.
Bella has a high fever that Tobin had yesterday, his has gone into a stomach bug....
Still enjoying strawberry season.
