Dmmetler Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Or, more specifically, she volunteered to let her friend come homeschool with us :).:lol: One of my friends/her friend's mother was asking about suggestions for things she could do at home with her 7 yr old, just finished 1st grade DD this summer. My DD suggested that they could come over once a week and we could make math and reading games, do science projects, cook lunch, and then go on field trips in the afternoon, since her regular co-op isn't meeting for the summer :). I think her friend's mother was expecting a website or maybe a workbook suggestion-she was definitely a little bemused to have this 7 yr old talking to her seriously about homeschooling. But anyway, we're going to try it this week-and DD is happily working on her plans for her little co-op-and suggesting other people we should invite. DD's absolutely THRILLED that her friend is going to be "homeschooled like me for the summer!". I guess that's how you know homeschooling has been successful??

theYoungerMrsWarde Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Awww, that's neat. :D I'm summer schooling my best friend's daughter 2x/week doing reading one-on-one and science all together. It's been fun, and a learning-about-teaching experience for me. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tammi K Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 It sounds like the makings of a wonderful summer. I know my kids are always excited when they have a chance to do 'school' with friends.:hurray: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmmetler Posted June 11, 2012 Author Share Posted June 11, 2012 So far she's picked several books about frogs to read, a frog jump skip counting math game, a life cycle activity about frogs, and wants to make and decorate cookies (and I assume I need to find a frog cookie cutter :). Of course, the fact that we have two tadpoles and five froglets in an aquarium and terrarium might have something to do with her decision on that theme. Say...I wonder if I could send her friend home with a frog or two? The plan HAD been to turn them loose when they'd lost their tails, but DD is reluctant because "they're so little and cute-they're just BABIES!!!".

In the Rain Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 It sounds fun. My dd thinks we should hs one of her friends who isn't doing well in school. They can't get along for more than 20 minutes though, so it would make the days here quite long. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
