Little Thespians

We were planning on getting ready to go to San Diego on Sunday. But then we remembered that we had a workshop with Childsplay.

Busy, Busy

This week some of the homeschooled kids were going from art block to the children’s museum nearby. … Continue reading »

Symphony

We went to the the symphony today. I just heard about the symphony for the schools that the Phoenix Symphony puts on throughout the year. Very inexpensive tickets and a short, one-hour concert made it perfect for little kids.

OK maybe not abducted by aliens . . .

But every time I sat at the computer I started working. We’d been gone for days and definitely had work to do. It wasn’t much fun writing … Continue reading »

Artsy Day

Yesterday was show day for the boys’ art class. They both do a three hour art block (visual arts, drama and dance) at a large arts complex near us. The youngest class is preschoolers but the older classes are all homeschoolers. I really like the way they teach. Nothing is mandatory. They seem to understand … Continue reading »

Artsy

So I keep meaning to post about Thursday. It was just so fabulously art filled. One of the common complaints about public schools today is that the kids don’t get enough exposure to art.
