Day three and four of homeschool....the Wrestlin' Rhino's

Robin has decided our school name is the Wrestlin' Rhino's.

We will now be referred to as such....until next week when we're the ducks, or the cows, or chickens, or giant panda's....or whatever else we read about.

Day three was a little chaotic.

Friends were here for most of the day.  They are also homeschooled...so I had one first grader, two kindergardner's and one pre-pre-schooler....whew...that's a mouthful.

Anyway, we did bible together, Katie held her hand over her mouth for most of it since she couldn't seem to stop yapping.

We attempted some math and handwriting....and trying to keep everyone occupied was hurting my brain so I gave up and we resorted to art time.

They each got a magazine, scissors, glue stick and blank paper and they could cut and paste away to their little hearts content....and they did.

They spent two hours giggling, cutting, and sticking crazy pictures together....it was great and I laughed hysterically.  I don't know what we learned, but since they cut up ESPN magazine they are now very familiar with the Gatorade logo.

Then we played ukulele, guitar, the drums and had a dance party with Aretha Franklin...

And that concludes Wednesday.

Thursday was Thursday...

Multiple interruptions, meetings, phone calls and no one listening.

At one point in the afternoon I'd told Robin to quit throwing his pencil and Katie to pick up her paper scraps so many times I started keeping track on the abacus....and neither one was listening.

So, Robin had to stand with his nose on the wall and his hands behind his back until Katie finished picking up her stuff...it was a joint discipline...my favorite kind.  Who doesn't love a good double-whammy?

The afternoon was spent finishing up math problems and reading....and featured Robin eventually performing Dr. Seuss in a French accent...

We learned it takes Robin about 14 tries before he can properly announce the word "bureau".

and...

Katie REALLY likes cutting up paper.

That concludes Thursday and the Wrestlin' Rhino's school of misfits....Katie's working on the school cheer.

Later tater...H :)
