We are at Hannah's for our inaugural day of co-teaching for the year.
The fourth-grade boys are studying geography at the table, a bit of review before jumping into world history ("Elizabeth the First to the Forty-Niners.")
Having completed their morning session of nature study (coloring pictures of striped skunks), my kindergartener and Hannah's preschooler grab some down time.
My preschooler can't really read this book, but she likes the pictures.
Typical kitchen counterscape. Lots and lots of used tea cups.

Our preschool girls work on their matching Kumon workbook pages, our slacker solution to the "But we want to do OUR schoolwork!" problem. Hazel is four and a half and MJ just turned three, but they both seem to enjoy these equally well. Later this year we hope to merge their reading lessons — we're getting pretty good at co-teaching reading even when the kids are not at precisely the same level.
