Repost: We will now be meeting as a play group - starting next week!

We are now planning to meet every other week as a family play group, instead of a tuition based drop off program!  This will allow more families to participate & get to know each other as they begin homeschooling younger ones, as well as give my pregnant brain & belly a chance to rest ha ha ;0)

For October then, we will meet the 14th & 28th from 10-1pm.  Come & go as you like, bring a lunch & bikes/trikes if you want - plenty of room for everyone but keep in mind our classroom & playground is best suited for ages 2-8.  Each family is responsible for their own children, but we can all watch out for each other to make sure the children are safe & happy.  Play clothes are best as we'll have paint, play dough & mud available!

Feel free to invite friends who are not in QACHE but may be considering homeschool - it will be a great way to meet other families & feel connected & supported right away.

See ya'll soon!

Week 3 - Dental visit!

A dental assistant from Advanced Dental came to talk to us about taking care of our teeth!

There was apparently a lot of sharing about what drinks everyone likes & how much sugar is in them!

Some healthy food choices :0)

Gigi & Sofe have been loving the chalkboard & writing!  Kai-Kai looks very relaxed in his rocking chair....

Zach D. - our local architect!

What's in there??

Week 3 I was home, still sick - but Miss Abbie & Miss Jamie carried on & it sounds like they had a wonderful day :0) 

Day 4 - stay tuned for day 3 pics!

After the dentist visit last week we decided to talk more about bones! We took apart a skeleton & his squishy organs & had a blast trying to put all the pieces back together ;0)  Josie is showing Kai Kai, Isaac & Zach where the pizza goes after it leaves the stomach....

Miss Jamie tracing around Sofe so she can either add her bones & organs or her clothes!

Here's Emma making a skeleton out of q-tips & black play dough!

Ezra really loved this one, too - hope all that black comes off clothes & hands eventually.....

More squishy skeleton fun!  Isaac is showing just how elastic the intestines are - ewwww!!

Zach D. knows where everything goes :0)

Rachel adding clothes to her outline

Ben can't get enough of the picasso tiles & making roads these days

Gigi & Josie working on their outlines

Miss Jamie tracing around Allana

Sofe & Ezra really enjoyed tracing around the toys & other shapes

Zach S. also loves the Picasso Tiles - will we need another set??

Ruth & Ezra working with the playdough

Emma adding bones to her outline...

...& a backbone

Kate had JUST finished lining up the Lori train puzzle & putting in all the numbers!  I was too late for a picture of it but at least this reminds me what she was up to ;0)  Ezra added pegs to it when they got it all cleaned up...

Rachel & Allana's turn with Picasso Tiles

Ruth daydreaming :0)

Do you think Isaac can see me in 3-D??

Isaac & Kate working together to push the swing

Cattails are always a big hit this time of year - lots & lots of fluffy-ness!

Maybe Ruth was daydreaming about ladybugs?  There were a ton of them all over the playground this week...

Next week we'll begin our play group days - see previous post for details!
