home-pre-school...what are we doing?

so i finally gave in...

my kidos, they love structure, they have both put themselves on feeding and sleeping schedules as babies, not me...and well now they've been crying out in so many ways for a more scheduled day at home, ugh, i really didn't want to do it, but now that we've been kicking for a few weeks, we are really having a good time

our day goes something like this (of course each day with it's own flavor):

8-9 free play

9 listen to a book on cd

9:30 music

10 free play

10:30 art

11 exercise

11:30 reading/bible

12:30 lunch with chinese lesson (cartoon)

free play or any other activity they loved from earlier that day

2 nap

we have gotten tons of wonderful educational type books/cds/dvds/toys from our wonderful supportive family and friends in america so i try to spice it up and plan ahead, alternating what we use to learn and play each day/week

jo goes to chinese preschool still 2 days a week and we do this 3 days a week

evie joy is learning tons and loves it, she is a little learning sponge

it has been good also for them during the cold since we can't just go for a buggy ride or play outside so easily; i'm very thankful for my kidos who love to learn and play and enjoy time with their mama

this is jo and ej reenacting jesus calming the wind and the waves...
art time, jo loves it!

ej enjoying our reading corner

exercise time! we try to do different activities everyday...

more exercise time!

i'm sure we'll have many more of our home preschool pics to come...

some things we've especially loved so far is our thomas the train day, making cookies, playing with scissors and glue, studying math on the chalkboard!
