Yesterday's Small Celebration

As M1 finished his Kumon Easy Mazes workbook, I got excited in filling up the Certificate of Achievement, the very last page of the book.  I gave him a big hug and kiss, and a handshake, and posted the certificate on the wall.  He surely was proud of himself and his accomplishment.  And M2 was now looking forward to having his certificate, too.  Then we had a halo-halo snack at Big Joe's.

Trying out new things: Behind the Shutter

Last weekend we attended a wedding, and my hubby left the camera with me.  Good thing I remembered to grab an opportunity... to let M1 try out photography.  Let's see if he has the eye for it.  

For a 4-year old 1st-timer with a DSLR camera, I should say his shots were great!  And I can count it as part of homeschooling!  So proud of your work, my boy!

Treasures in the shelf

Last December, we finally took home the old Childcraft series my mother in law was handing the kids down months prior.  The volumes Stories and Fables, and Poems and Rhymes had to be my favorite.  They're classic!  (Because of these, I can hold off hoarding books from bookshops (online/offline) which me & my hubby's pockets will appreciate).  I still have to run through with the other volumes as a I feel that several information might already be in need of updating.

Aside from Childcraft, I'm also loving the Catholic Children's Treasure Box (though I only have the 1st set).  These are also great fillers when we go a little off-track from my lesson plans, as I know that books-- lots of stories, are the way to the boys' attention.

Speaking of lesson plans/ schedules, I'm following Mater Amabilis general way of going about the day.
