     Having little children in the house is such a blessing. All the cuddles and unconditional love they give. The smallest things make them happy.  They are also curious about everything and have a will to learn. It's true what they say, their little brains absorb everything like a sponge. This works to the advantage of a parent willing to teach! Mud Pie! Enjoying the puddles      Little children do most of their learning through play. So I encourage them to get muddy. Let them jump in the puddles. I get them in play clothes so they can enjoy getting dirty. They are new beings on this planet and are discovering the world through play.

Schooling during a Pandemic - Schedule

Image
         A little background before going into this topic. I've been homeschooling my girls for about 5  years now.

With that being said, I have notice that my children, personally, do better when they know what is expected of them. S ometimes it is calming to have a schedule or semi schedule.
