School

It was part of the plan to keep the kids out of school until we find a house and move in.  We get corporate housing for two months in Manhattan and we felt that it would be educational to explore this great city and all of the culture, art and museums.  When else do you get to live in Manhattan for two months, rent free?!

The kids are convinced they are being "home schooled" which is a pretty funny idea.  I have been making them do work and they have to read and write every day. 

A few days ago I had them watch the Gorsuch Supreme Court Justice Confirmation hearings and we explored the three branches of government, learned about the balance of power, veto and a very basic outline of how a law is made.  We had a really great time exploring all of the topics and they are just eager little sponges.

Today we picked up some small sketch books and they decorated the covers.  Inside they have written about what they have done each day, adding pictures, thoughts and feelings to this whole process.  

I'm not sure if I'm home school mom material, but for a short time, it's really fun!
