Joyschool Days

When Eliza was much younger a few of the moms from church came up with the great idea to have their own Joyschool. They invited Liza to join, so I looked more into it. I found out that the Joyschool program is a curriculum you can buy and it's a lot if fun! But my mom friends and I just implemented the basic idea of a once a week 'learning' play date. We've now had Joyschool for two years, Liza for two Timmy has done one.

For Liza it helped fill that social need she has to get together with her friends, to laugh, create, and play imaginary tales. But now that she's older most of those friends are in public school. So we've enrolled in a huge family homeschool co-op.

For Timmy he loved to hear from other teachers than me. But they were Mommies he was familiar with so he was completely comfortable at their houses.

I've dug up some pictures from this last year of Joyschool at our house. So many fun times!
