Becoming a Superhero & Looking to Connect with other Super Homeschoolers!

 We are all still sick here in Chicago. Between the rain and the colds, I feel like this summer hasn't even happened and we are a week into August. We've had a new Mother Goose Time box to keep us company. The superhero theme could not come at a better time.

One thing I really like about the convenience of a box curriculum is the fact that fellow trained teachers have already done the work tying together different projects, games and books to fit a bigger picture over a week and month. Each day this week, we created a project that worked fine motor skills and creativity and in the end, we had a full superhero costume. From mask to cape, from belt to shield, my son was set to save the world. We also decided to make the projects as suggested and then because there were some extra materials, we were able to change things up and make our projects a "silly way." We painted capes with toy cars and made dot marker designs on our belts.

My son loved running around the house and yard as The Amazing Adrian. He enjoyed using the magnetic wands and game that was included for the week.














As a homeschooling parent of one preschooler, I'd love to connect with other homeschoolers. I couldn't help but think this week how great it would be to chat with another family that is creating the same crafts that we are. Maybe a Skype or FaceTime is in order. If your family is participating in Mother Goose Time or homeschooling a preschooler, I'd love to connect and maybe have a video pen pal for my son to share ideas with.

As a new school year ramps up, we can't wait to see what our fellow Mother Goose Time friends and homeschoolers have in store! This month we have received the Mother Goose Time curriculum in exchange for our written personal experience with the program.
