Jack's 3rd grade teacher invited me to come in and help with a project, so naturally I asked, "Can the girls come too?" She said, "Sure!"
Because homeschooling is fairly uncommon in our little town, I think both parents and teachers alike are fascinated with our family's decision. I am happy to report everyone has been generally supportive.
On Friday we showed up with glue and scrap paper to help the class decorate their Writer's Notebooks.
The kids were given a chance to personalize their journals with colored paper and pictures of family and friends. Maddie and Jenny relished the role of big-girl-helpers and were amazed at how small their old elementary school looked.
This is probably the first of many times I will say, the girls never would have been able to do this had they been in school.
Jack loved having them come in to help. May I also mention, he was the only kid that day to forget to put his folder in his back pack and Mom had to speed home to pick it up!
Caught up on your blog just now. Jenny/Maddy

Maddy & Jenny- what did Jack think of having both his big sisters come into help in his class?Did he think it was cool? What kinds of things did you get to help with?
