"But," I insist. "We do our letters, and reading, and sing songs, and do calendar..."
"I know sweetie," Jodi pats me on the arm. "Its still called mothering."
She's right. It is mothering. But I am trying to teach her school stuff in a structured-ish manner. I say structured-ish because about a week ago we learned our beginning sounds and did an alphabet scavenger hunt on the way to the Gap to hit a 45% off sale.
See, I am also teaching her priorities.
| Here is our Pre-School. Today we are learning the letter F and on the board we glued Cotton to bunnies to learn the O sound. |

Her little table and magnet board is so cute! I love it. Keep having fun doing your activities (or shopping...whatev) and that's all that matters!
I want to come to your homeschool preschool! It looks awesome!! (Can we count moose??)
I think you are dong an excellent job! Enjoy it b/c as you know once they are out the door in the real school world, it is really different!
You ambitious woman you! I guess I must not be "mothering" my four year old. Oh well. Not everyone has the talent I guess.
That was a really great sale! You are also teaching her to be resourceful and stylish!
She is getting so big! And its so funny the difference between our generation and your friends (I'm assuming she's older). To us its homeschool preschool because we want to keep up with everyone who as their kids in preschool. To her its mothering because that's what all mothers should be doing and part of the job description. Not all mothers do that anymore though. So great job either way!
I really miss those days....last year! You are doing a great job. I have some cute idea books your welcome to come take a look at.
What cute projects. When I saw and Fat on the board, I thought about how easy it would be to slip an R between the A and the T. Have your boys tried it? :)
