This week, I am pleased to say, that I feel like I am "THAT" homeschool mom. You know, the one who makes it up by 5AM every morning to do her devotions, shower and get ready, make the kids and husband a 5 course breakfast, and start school at 8 o'clock sharp. "THAT" homeschool mom who uses every moment of the day to teach her adoring children something, who never shouts, and always knows what to say to help her little ones through every trial of the day. "THAT" homeschool mom is the one who we all see and strive to be like, but secretly believe we will never attain. Okay, so truthfully I am not anywhere near being "THAT" homeschool mom, but I must say we had a pretty great week.
This week my friend Kelly and I had set aside to do a dissection lab with the kids. We had a great time, and the kids really learned a lot about anatomy and physiology. Between the 2 of us we have 10 kids ranging in age from 5 months to 13 years old. We started out on Monday by dissecting a sheep's brain and eye. Then on Tuesday we moved on to dissect the heart and kidney. Wednesday, Praise God, it rained and we took the day off. Thursday we started on fetal pigs doing the GI System and the Abdominal Cavity, and we finished up today by doing the Thoracic Cavity, the brain and spinal cord, and muscles and joints. And at the end we celebrated the kids success with an ice cream party. What a wonderful week of learning.
