Hug's school has a great program running throughout the entire Kindergarten year whereby the children only attend school 4 days each week & the 5th day is a homeschool day! Yippee!
The parents choose 2 choices from a list of activities each term that you agree to do with your child in the home. We chose Cooking and Cleaning (or 'House Blessing' as I - and Flylady - like to call it ;)

This was our first week & I pulled out the beautiful cookbook Apples for Jam (which had been sitting on my shelf looking gorgeous but greatly unused for far too long) & decided that seeing that we had a huge bowl of apples on the table that we should make Apple Bread!

Our 'Home Blessing' job for this week was window washing. It was a good opportunity to model how to squeeze out the sponge (I showed them how to ball it completely into their hand & squeeze). We use little sponges by the way - I just cut a standard sponge in half. I had been looking at the back windows with dread for some time & now they are all sparkling. Thanks sweet boys. Oh, & me - I was helping too :)
I love those shoes on the book cover.:) I like that, "Home blessing"; sure beats "homes cleaning". :)
ReplyDeleteThat apple bread sounds yummy! We have kiddie tables in Africa that I use when cooking with Esme, since there is so much on the top counter I'd rather not have her get into yet. I miss that experience - I haven't had her help me much here.
ReplyDeleteIve just come across your blog for the first time and I love it.
ReplyDeleteBtw I live within 15 mins of the Flylady. Im so shocked when i read about people from around the world who love her and the site so much. I never knew it existed until recently.
