This year Lucy and I did Joy School. Joy School is a preschool curriculum that you do with other moms. There were 6 of us this year that worked together - kind of a co-op preschool.
Each week we met for two hours on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. We taught the kids about letters, shapes, colors, numbers, and we taught different units such as the joy of the body or the joy of nature or the joy of order. Each mom taught for two weeks at a time.
We also went on a few field trips during the year and we did a Christmas program.
Last week we had a graduation program and BBQ to end the year.
It was so fun to be a part of this with Lucy. I enjoyed teaching her and the other kids in the class and I enjoyed the time off when it was the other moms' turns. It was so neat to see how much they had learned during the year too. I taught the 3rd and 4th weeks - when it was still pretty new to the kids - and I taught the very last week. It was amazing to see how much they had learned.
Lucy learned a lot too. She said her favorite thing she learned was about colors. My favorite thing she learned was how to write her name.
We made the kids little books all about them with pictures too from the year - kind of a little year book of sorts. Next year Lucy will be going to preschool. I'm already looking forward to doing this with Sammy in 2 years!
