Fortuanately these kids are awesome and their moms are so so great. What a great group of moms we have met through Home Grown. A tiny little group starting out with just a handful of new home schooling moms interested in the same goal...giving our kids joy in learning and exploring their world. Though there has been many changes since the core group 6-7 years ago, but the common thread between our families continues to be respect and admiration for each family.
Anyway, the main reason to post today was to document the success of the lesson. Each family brought a sketch of their home, their first aid supply kits, and a predone check off list of the standard supplies for a good kit.
The kids did good. We touched on various areas and did lots of role playing. This was their favorite part, I'm sure.

~ Fire safety and knowing your exit routes and meeting place

There was lots of socializing and catching up between the moms; we really don't get together as much as we use too. There was lots to catch up on.
It was a great afternoon and I am even happier that there wasn't a HUGE mess to clean up. A successful meeting for sure.
