A new direction

There are so many ways to homeschool these days. You can choose to stay home and do everything yourself (my personal favorite!). Or choose from several different homeschool schools (yes, there is such a thing) to take classes from science to sewing. You can even (gasp!) go through the public school system to take classes on-line. I know people who do all of the above. But this year. Well, this year we are trying a class outside the house.

We are gathering with about seven other families, twenty-four students participating, for "Meet the Masters" (an art class). We had our first class yesterday. I admit I am not an artsy person. Okay, I enjoy the occasional crochet project but that is about it. The girls have learned so much more than I ever knew thanks to YouTube. But while standing there listening to the instructions I was lost. Julia, who is running the class, laughed at me. She has known for awhile "I don't do art" but she is realizing I was not exaggerating. lol

I think the girls enjoyed it. They had to sit together to share the watercolor crayons because our other pack is on backorder. I thought it was rather funny. I think most of the moms thought the siblings would sit together to share their supplies. Instead, many of them were getting up and walking across the room to get a new crayon, then back to their sit.

I was wanting to take my camera for pictures of the first class; however, I forgot it. We had to take everything for art class, including lunch, to the library while Chloe volunteered. The camera slipped my mind while gathering school work, library books, snacks and lunch. I think you can see why it may have slipped my mind. I am hoping to be able to gather more things a day early for the next class. Fingers crossed!
