We had some hot weather in September.
The boys spent some of that time discussing life.
Melanie kept the younger girls entertained.
Despite despising her own schoolwork, Melanie does enjoy being a teacher.
Her pupils, unlike mine, are all eager and obedient. I should spent some time watching and see how she manages!
Nathan redesigned his go-cart. The first attempt was very dissatisfying. This attempt was much more successful!
We had a fun Friday. If they week's schoolwork is done before Friday and we have nothing else going on, then we want to do something fun!
This occasion was a "theater day". Most of the day was spent in getting the scenery for the play ready.
The inside and outside of the three bears house was a lot of work, but it was the good fun kind of work!
We all had jobs to do to help get the whole project done.
The outside of the house is complete!
The inside is done too! The tree background was made by Melanie and her helpers ages ago...so we added to it with more backgrounds.
We put on a grand play, with whoever wanted to acting, and there was still an eager audience left over!
As usual in these big endeavors, the final production was a bit of an anti-climax...but it was still worth it. We also raided the public library of all the versions we could find of "Goldilocks and the Three Bears" and the kids enthusiastically and independently did a unit study on this fairy tale 'cause no one mentioned that it might be considered schoolwork. ;)

Nice. But do you let them see you throw out all their hard work, I can't imagine everything can be kept?!
Roze, that is so neat! And I wish I had had Melanie years ago to help me with my teaching. I never did learn how to do that - good thing our sons learned mostly on their own. ....at least I think they did. 😏
The kid's artwork always impresses me. Even Evelyn seems to do a good job. Thanks a ton for sharing.
I was just looking through this again and was looking at the first picture of Evelyn with her cute hat when I noticed the coveralls she is wearing. Are those the ones I gave you years ago when Nathan was little? They still look new!
I try to be discreet when I recycle their work...but I try keep a few every now and then.
Yes, the coveralls are from you.
