I was inspired today by my friend,
Maggie, to write this blog. She is a homeschooling momma of four (soon-to-be-five) cute, adorable, girls. I don't know how she manages to teach them all as they're at such different stages. So I thought I'd give my own "Teach Me Tuesday" a shot...
I decided to capture every moment around me last night at dinner and I discovered that there are SO many ways that they are learning and I am teaching...I just didn't realize it. Here's our journey at dinner last night.
It was Jenna's turn to help cook dinner. She wanted cheeseburgers and mac n' cheese. So she helped me:
 |
| We have to turn the bbq on first and let it get nice and hot before we can cook on it |
 |
| We talked about how fire is really hot and it cooks our food for us. |
 |
| The pot is a circle and we fill it half-way with water. It has to "make bubbles" before we can put the macaroni in to cook |
 |
| Then we add the cheese and we mix it all around. We talk about how it "feels" and the color. |
 |
| Josh is helping Julianna learn how to help out too. He knows which dishes are breakable and which are not and helps his little sister learn how to help mommy. :) They get to hlep with the dishwasher while the dinner is cooking. |
 |
| Since yesterday was "Pi" day (3.14), we had piE and talked a little about how it is used to measure circles. Since the kids are still only 3 and 4 I don't go into too much detail. But Josh screamed out - "Hey, that box is an octagon!" LOL... |
What ways do you "teach" and help your little ones learn?
