I live in a world of art, and her and I do art projects whenever she is with me. Your girls did a lovely job - and I am in love with her painting (you can take a look at www.aprilsart.blogspot.com ) Thank you for all your great ideas! And good luck with the homeschooling - but of course you will be a wonderful teacher!aprilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15793431217614265769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2625850870170392366.post-53306363855022516882009-09-15T20:52:56.239-07:002009-09-15T20:52:56.239-07:00Here&#39;s some answers to the questions you&#39;ve asked, my lovely blog reader friends~<br /><br />Mickey-we&#39;ve been terrible pen pals. We&#39;ll have to work on that!<br /><br />Kate-the poem is from A Child&#39;s Garden of Verses by Robert Louis Stevenson. My girls are 5 1/2 and drawing the triangles took a couple tries and a little help from me.<br /><br />Christian-I have the book Drawing With Children. I&#39;ve heard great things about it. I should pull it out and read it!<br /><br />Grammy-Yes, this is our first year homeschooling. <br /><br />Jennifer, I&#39;m so excited that you guys are homeschooling! We are using a Classical approach. I really like Charlotte Mason&#39;s philosophy and am using some of her ideas.Chrissiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04287090435588595054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2625850870170392366.post-20934650237226031592009-09-15T20:27:47.057-07:002009-09-15T20:27:47.057-07:00how exciting. scot &amp; i just decided that we will also be homeschooling. our oldest is 4, so next fall we will officially begin. this year we are joining a nature study group. i also have been joining in on a charlotte mason group of mamas who meet once a month to share. have you chosen a method/curriculum, or are you building one yourself based on the girls&#39; interests? blessings to you in this journey! enjoy.jenniferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00464208961190088886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2625850870170392366.post-67325765250589127522009-09-15T09:50:43.730-07:002009-09-15T09:50:43.730-07:00I always check out your blog.

So is this poem in a book of poems? For kids? Just one you found? <br /><br />I love rhymes and applying them. The birds are adorable!<br /><br />Remind me again how old the girls are? My 4 year old is still struggling quite a bit with drawing his shapes. Identifying them verbally - no issue, but struggles with pen to paper activities. The girls did wonderfully!!!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing the poem - maybe it will brighten the &quot;get up&quot; routine around here!<br /><br />~KateKatyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00833197562186215475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2625850870170392366.post-16810742975369468282009-09-14T20:02:51.962-07:002009-09-14T20:02:51.962-07:00Welcome to the wonderful world of homeschooling twins.

I was home schooled growing up and it was the best gift my parents could have given me. I also home school my oldest son. <br /><br />He recently memorized that SAME poem!! Isn&#39;t it such a sweet one? You did an amazing job on the activities to correspond with it.
