Kiera's Homeschool

I love homeschooling Kiera. It's probably her age, but her mind works in such different ways! I find it challenging and entertaining!

Like above, she can't write her numbers yet, but she tried (see the purplish 6, and my blue 3 that she traced)... she often gets frustrated, but this time she just started making circles. She counted the items, and then drew that number's worth of circles on the line. I love it! I watched her in amazement, surprised that she came up with this on her own.

And this morning, she was doing the pages where you cross out the item that doesn't belong in the group. I was more interested in how she thought the group went together than if she crossed out the correct item. One time she had a refrigerator, a stove, and a bear. She crossed out the stove and said the bear and the fridge go together because bears like food! Other times she would cross out a random item because she associated the other two with people instead of actually with each other, so she crossed out the one she didn't associate with people.

FUN times!!!
