Home School Lesson Plans

Homeschool lesson plans have to be destroyed. We made the most of it.  

First Day of Preschool

Elias had a great first day a preschool! He was very excited to go play, especially in the outdoor nature classroom. 

I picked him up before lunch but he wanted to see what eating lunch at school was like, so we walked with his class. When he saw what it was like he told me, “That looks SO yummy. I changed my mind. I’ll eat here.” It was too late for Thai, but we made a plan to try lunch the next day. He said, “I will eat lunch at school tomorrow Mom, and don’t pick me up until you pick up the big boys.”

While Elias was enjoying his first day of school, Levi and I enjoyed pastries and mimosas with our friends. 

It was very odd to only have two toddlers running around considering we have 13 kids between the two of us and we both homeschooled last year. 

The big boys had gymnastics right after school. They are the only two in the class again this session so they get to do a lot during every class. 

First Day of School

The big boys had a great first day! They were so happy when I picked them up. 

Augustine said he liked playing soccer with new friends at both recesses.

Lewis said he liked eating lunch at school. 

The little boys and I went to the zoo to ride the train. 

Levi doesn’t remember riding it in the past so it was extra fun!

Farmer’s Market

East Campus had a farmers market. They always do such a a good job of making it engaging for kids.



The games and prizes are always a highlight. 

Lewis and Grandpa did a couple of experiments together. This one was on taste and smell. 

This one was about how germs are transferred from hands. 

Grandpa knew someone at almost every booth. 

It was a fun morning!

Air Tent

The other night I was solo at bedtime, so I told the big boys to find something to do upstairs while I gave the little boys a bath. Turns out they found something super cool to do!

They engineered my duvet to be an air tent!



This has to be the best smiling picture of these three EVER. I wish Levi was in it too, but he was terrified to go in the air tent. 

Last Bit of Summer

The boys collected all the wood scraps from our deck because they are perfect to play with in the mud area. 





Yesterday morning was a welcome break from boiling lava hot, so we played at a new park the boys have been eyeing. 





Augustine got to power wash G&G’s house/windows. He couldn’t think of a better project to wrap up the summer. 

We’ve got another fire fighter mega fan. 

School starts in 36 hours…

Cousin Day

We spent most of the day with some of the cousins and Augustine had a grand plan in his mind: light sabers and Jedi cloaks at the playground. It was a lot of fun, but too hot for their cloaks. 

These five laughed a LOT over the teeter-totter wars. It was fun to watch.
