Lately we've been starting our school day with paper, markers, crayons, scissors, and glue spread out on the table. It draws the girls to the same room and they enjoy making whatever strikes their fancy. While they work I get a chance to do one-on-one lessons and know the other girls are happily occupied. And some lessons just require listening and dictation so they continue their art during those. It's been good.
This is how Becca kept busy while they were "creating".
Last week during art we made collages. We learned a little about Henri Matisse but made our collages out of whatever materials we had at hand.
I couldn't stand back and watch them have all the fun. I made this one and am quite happy with it. A vase with flowers and a lace curtain in the background. Quaint, I know. But it was a lot of fun!

haha! well that's cool. you're so brave... for some reason the idea of homeschooling seems daunting to me and yet your girls seem very happy and it all just seems like a good idea... i don't know! you're one smart woman and i trust that you'll make it work and this is good for them! so good for you!
