Homeschool Preschool

Leaving the teachers at KRK was a very hard thing to do.  One huge aspect of that was because they taught Mason SO SO SO very much.  I am forever grateful that he knows so much at this young age.  Well, when I found out we were moving to Oklahoma I was gripped with fear about how Mason would become behind in areas where he was excelling.  When we got the news that we were getting a 4 bedroom house, I decided we could turn one of the rooms into a preschool room.  I may or may not already have purchased an entire classrooms worth of supplies in a Dr. Seuss theme about 2 years ago and I may or may not have a complete obsession with all things Seuss and need a reason to pawn off an overly elaborate 2 year olds left over party supplies.  So what other option is there?  Dr. Seuss preschool room it is.

So, I took some photos of our projects this week so I would have proof to myself that I can do it in a few weeks when I want to give up.  So, I let Mason choose a country that we would study for a week.  He chose Japan because "that is where Ninja Turtles are from".  I decided not to fight the logic and we went to the library last week to get some books.  I was limited in my options since it was such a small base, but we got a few...Karate Girl and 3 Samurai Cats.  At the end of the week Mason likes above all else, cooking activities.  I let him help me in the kitchen for some projects and he thought it was the coolest thing.  Here are some pictures from our week:
