Soccer

The kids had fun learning how to play soccer the other day. One of the Mom’s is teaching them.

Learning the Rules

After a loosening up jog, they learned a few of the rules. The kids are age 8 (nine by April 1) and up. There is a wide age and skill range but everyone was respectful of the others.

Playing

Then a game was started. In case you think that it’s the older ones that are more skilled, it’s a few of the young ones that have had more experience.

Kicking

The kids learned some about the game and had a fun time too!

Around the Web

Carnival of Homeschooling The Carnival of Homeschooling is up at A Pondering Heart. I haven’t read any of the articles yet but if you do come back and tell us your favorite!

Also, the Charlotte Mason Carnival is all about narrating- so your assignment will be to go read an article ONCE then come back here and narrate it. It’s hosted at Simply Charlotte Mason.

I found mention of a site for homeschoolers called Homeschoolers Like Us. It’s a “social network web site”- has anyone used this site? What do you think of it?

Lunch at the Park

After the tour of the seed cleaning plant we went to a nearby park to eat our lunches. And to feed the ducks and geese.

The kids had great fun feeding and watching them.

Kids and Ducks

It was great weather and a wonderful time!

Feeding Ducks

The group went on to tour a food processing plant but no cameras were allowed inside so there are no photos of it. Maybe there is a young (or youngish) person out there who would be willing to write in and tell us all about that tour.
