For those who think that homeschoolers sit in their house in the middle of the woods and never meet another soul except those in their family, listen to this.
Homeschool Group from 9:30 to 12:30. Mi'ita played with at least 30 children today, infants to high schoolers, 5 of whom were girls her age. (Parents were planning unit studies and kids just played today. Usually they will be learning.)
School Recess 1:15-1:30. Tuesdays and Thursdays we will be joining her regular school for recess.
Class 1:30-3. After recess on Tuesdays and Thursdays, we join her regular class and do regular school work.
Play date 3-4:30. A school chum comes home with us and plays. She goes with us to ballet.
Ballet 4:30-5:30.
Dinner Party 6:00-? Husband's coworker is having a pizza party at their house.
Tomorrow she will spend all day studying marine biology at the local science center with other homeschoolers.
AND, she did indeed do her math before we went to homeschool group, did dinosaur research with her class, and we'll do Latin flashcards on the walk to ballet. On the walk to the homeschool group through our woods and along a creek we saw a garter snake and beetles. We also analyzed the erosion damage done by a pipe leak.
I'm beat. I don't think I like days this scheduled. It reminds me of school. I wish she didn't want to go to school, but she does.
