Blogging time has been hard to come by lately as well. There's a lot to catch up on, starting with a fun event we participated in last weekend.
We gathered with several other homeschool families for a "speech meet." Children of all ages (as young as four) recited poetry and short scenes they had memorized. It was impressive! This was a great opportunity for these homeschoolers to stand up in front of a group and speak. And it was so nice to have it at a time when the dads could attend as well.
Jon and I were very proud of our boys. They both stood up confidently, spoke clearly and loudly, and remembered their poems. I videotaped their performances, but the recording didn't turn out well. So I re-taped them at home.... sideways. Sigh. So, tilt your head and take a listen. ;)
After the speeches, we all enjoyed some lovely treats. Each child received a beautiful poem book as a prize.
The Speech Meet was a great success! The boys are already talking about the pieces they want to prepare for next year!
