If the Zyrieks were homeschooled.....

Today the girls were out of school for a "snow day"....please see the snow pictures (and lack of snow on the streets as of 9am!!). I had some work that I could do from home so it worked out fine for the girls to stay with me. We had a morning full of activities and I figured this is somewhat how it would be for our girls if they were homeschooled : )


1. First we watched Dora/Diego for our spanish and science lessons
2. Snack time
3. Anna worked games on her Barbie learning computer including spelling, reading and music.
4. Caroline worked some puzzles and asked why a piece was missing (utilizing those cognitive thinking skills). Soon discovered Ally has used that piece for her morning snack.
5. Caroline has packed her purses up and is cooking from her Dora Kitchen. I guess this could be our home economics class.
6. Anna observed that while the backyard still has snow, the skies are cloudy and the snow has melted on the roads. This is our weather/science lesson continued.
7. Caroline is preparing her princess couch for nap time!


Not so bad for the morning hours....how I could manage this every day and actually do lessons with the girls I have no idea, but thought we were pretty creative this morning.

We must use the same homeschool curriculum. :) Laura Beth went to school, btw. ECS didn't cancel. Yay for them!
