Pre-School Part 1

My dear friend Anita and I have started a pre-school for her 3 and my JJ.  It has been lots of fun (and work;) but so great to do it together! We’ve been have school Tuesday and Thursday mornings 9-11:30 and every other Friday Field Trips!  Pre-school for 3 year-olds is 9am-1pm 4 days a week or 5 hours 3 days a week and I wasn’t ready to ‘lose’ JJ for that long.  Also, it’s been good for me to embrace ‘homeschooling’ at some level as I will be homeschooling in English while, Lord willing, JJ (and Susie) attends Hungarian school…crazy to say, but this is where we are headed!

“Auntie ‘Nita” going over letters…so far A-D we’ve done.

The Rest are practicing Nursery Rhymes:)

Georgie Porgie Pudding and Pie…

“Humpty Dumpty Sat on a Wall (JJ says ‘walk’:))”

Humpty Dumpty had a great (BIG! JJ adds) fall…

there were multiple falls this day:)

  “There Was an Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe…

“She had so many children she didn’t know what to do…”

“she gave them some broth without any bread…

AND KISSED THEM ALL SWEETLY and put them to bed:)”  “Three Blind Mice. Three Blind Mice.  They all ran after the Farmer’s Wife…

…SHE CUT OFF THEIR TALES WITH A CARVING KNIFE!!??!!??…

have you ever seen such a sight in your life as Three Blind Mice”

“Little Miss Muffet sat on her tuffet…”

(can you fill in the missing lines??)

“…along came a spider and sat down beside her…

“and frightened Miss Muffet away!”

(the boys weren’t too good at being frightened away since they thought the spider was so cool:)

Video will be coming of their performing these at our Open House which PopPop and NaNa Marie were able to come to since they were visiting:)

(we planned it around their visit—one of the benefits of homeschooling:)
