The hardest part was maneuvering their schedule around Chinese School and all of the morning and afternoon activities associated with the week. The teacher is from the UK originally, so our girls came home with British accents. They love her.

"Home school Week"
"Home School Week" is one week where a teacher comes from the capital of our province and teaches our kids, along with other ex-pat kids. This was the second year we participated and once again it did not disappoint. Last year they did science, language arts activities, and lots of crafts. This year the theme was Christmas/Advent and the girls loved it even more.

The crafts were amazing. They made these quilt like pages (behind their heads above) with pictures that remind them of the Christmas season. They made the wreaths on the wall (over Sophia's head below)
What I love about the wrap up time at the end of the week, is that the teacher gets every kid involved, from age 5 to age 10. Sophia told a little about what they did...
And Bella had her turn too.
They also did a drama show with many songs. Each person had a part...it was so creative.
They were the animals in the 'barn' where Jesus was born. The play was from their perspective.
they are still singing the songs!
And I am too. Tobin went with us to watch the wrap-up and sat still the whole time! When I asked them what was their favorite part, Tobin chimed in and said: "my favorite part was watching".
