This definitely goes under the catagory of "you know you are a homeschooler when_____" LOL Please add yours....
Yes, he was making molecules out of marshmallows and toothpicks and then when he was supposed to go to bed, he told me he was afraid the mice would eat his molecules. Ummm..we don't have mice! Ok..we have had them in the garage, but the molecules are in the living room. LOL
My boy loves doing his "school" (just preschool fun right now), but the other day he said "Do I have to do school FOREVER?" Then when I told him he'd be doing school for several years, he started to CRY!!! Bless his little heart. He loves what we do, but the idea of everlasting school was just too much for him, lol. I love the mouse comment!! Kids are too funny.
My daughter has fallen in love with a painting she found online by the artist we are studying this term...... so now she is "tracing it" from the screen of a laptop and posting them all over the hose. I think you know you are a homeschooler when your kid actually KNOWS a song is by BACH and looks at the adult oddly when they state it's by Beethoven and then your 10 year old corrects them politely
OHHH!!! I forgot my favorite.... Alexis LOVES Spongebob...... but the part she remembers most.... "PHOTOSYNTHESIS" - and she demonstrates this all the time on the floor. She was SOOO excited they used a word she had learned and she knew what it meant!
My dd(3) and I "play" school several days a week and I'd decided to try and do a math-type focus on Mondays. On the second Monday, I said - Today we'll have Math Monday! (understand we're doing easy fun things like counting and sorting/classifying her My Little Ponys - which she has WAY too many of - like 13) She responded with a very teenage sounding..."A-GAIN?????" As if I was just asking too too much of her! :0) LOL! This morning we were attempting to make new clothes for her boy Barbie (is there any inexpensive place to buy these) and she told me that his clothes were pretty typical! I don't think she had a clue what she was saying, but she used the word with such ease...silly girl!
We attend free classical concerts at a local church and were reading the poster for the upcoming Bach festival they are having. My 7 year old sighed and said "I wish they would have a festival for the three Bs!" We had learned that Bach, Beethoven, and Brahms were called the three Bs last year. You should have seen the look on the conductor's face when she said that and was able to tell him who they are.
I loved it when my daughter told her piano teacher last year when she started lessons she would prefer NOT to place Tchaikovsky because his music was too loud for her..... *note* she had no IDEA what a scale was at this point or anything else!
