What Homeschool Looks Like When You're 5 Years Old

This morning was one of those golden moments in homeschooling that we've missed quite a bit over the summer. Yesterday, my wife was teaching our 9 year-old (Quarterback) and 12 year-old (Narniagirl) how to diagram sentences. Today, my 5 year-old daughter (Katiebelle) comes in, waaay before her brother and sister are up, and she has--on notebook paper in purple marker--diagrammed the title of her "school" book, Come On, Snoopy. She even had her rocket ship for compound subjects and verbs, but she called it her jet. I guess that's what Snoopy used to catch up.

This is the same daughter that watches Prince of Egypt and later starts singing snippets of "Let My People Go," but instead of the repeated line "Thus says the Lord," she sings, "Upset the law, Upset the law..." It worked for her.
