Diorama

Before the winter break I had to spend a week working, which meant my husband got to spend the week teaching. While I was laying out worksheets and books I started thinking about when I was a student. Over the breaks we always had to take home some project for our parents to help us with. I thought how unfair this was on the parents.

They had no idea what the teacher actually wanted and besides they were busy. Home school parents rarely get to experience this. We always know what the teacher wants because we are the teacher. But for one week my husband got to be the confused parent.

I assigned a diorama. After explaining what that was I left them to it. We all learned something that we. My daughter learned how to make a model and use it to explain a story. My husband learned how much work it took to homeschool (before he just knew how much money). And I learned that having a substitute teacher is just as hard as teaching yourself. I think we all had fun too.Here is the finished diorama.

It's a space ship. They read a Star Wars book together and her favorite thing in it was the Millennium Falcon. And yes her daddy is very proud.

Charry and Daddy both very proud of their accomplishment.
