changing for a while


Esme's schedule is going to be changing for a few weeks. She's just about finished her weather unit. For the next few weeks Ethan and I will both be working during the day, so we won't be doing formal lesson plans. Esme will have independent work to do on her days with her Nonna and some guided work to do on Fridays with Grandma. Right now she is also involved in sessions of soccer, gym and swim, and lego league on top of her other activities, so we think all of this will keep her pretty busy.

Today I decided to try out a drawing lesson with Esme. We talked about how objects closer to us appear larger and objects further away appear smaller. We talked about how all objects can be broken down into simpler shapes and drew some dandelions, breaking them down into lines and circles. We had fun drawing out in our yard together!
