Play

So even though my kids started school 7 days ago, they are off today as the teachers have an inservice day already. Really??? Why??? As a former elementary teacher I am amazed but not completely surprised. So much for trying to get a routine going! Also found out my 5th grader has "fun Friday" each week at the end of the day. For 20 min. They can bring their iTouch or DS or something & play. Seriously? That's more than an hour of instructional time lost. Hey, here's an idea! How about the kids play board games. Or they make up their own board games. Better yet, get them outside playing!!!!! Ridiculous I say.

Here's a play page of paint, marker, collage & watercolor.

  1. I love this watercolour you have. The colours are great!. I agree with your schooling ideals. I looked at the rest of the year here and they are barely in school at all. Between teacher work days early release and holidays, I never missed that much school growing up, but then again I grew up in a different time and country..LOL Best wishes

  4. One of the reasons that I home educated my kids from beginning to end was because of all the 'stuff' associated with the school system and that was 25 years ago! When it was good! Anyway...great journal page!
