This week is Community for my little K4er. So far we went to the pizza shop to see how they prepare their pizzas, had a tour of the Post Office, went to the hair salon for a haircut (pic is posted above) and learned about the hair salon, had a tour of the bank and opened up Jenna's savings account (she left with alot of stickers and cool items to play bank with), toured the Hardware store, visited Dunkin Donuts and the little store that is connected and checked out the man next door to us business. Every place that we visited was filled with wonderful owners, who took the time out of their day to show my little girl around.
We also made sure to make thankyou's for everyone. They are all now delivered to each business owner. Jenna wrote Thank you on each one, drew picture on each and signed her name. They are now hanging up at each of the businesses.
Jenna was very happy this week to find out she has a new penpal named Satori. She wrote to her this afternoon and mailed it right out.
We have had some fun playing soccer, old maid and bank (thanks to her bank slips and information on how a bank works). Homeschooling is the best!

Sounds like a great week with lots of fun! He hair looks adorable!
What a great idea on the Community field trip. I always wanted to do something like this for Satori. Did you just call up local businesses and was it just for your family?
Jenna should be getting her letter soon! :) Satori's been pretty excited about it.
Angela, mid August Jenna and I took a walk around town to the different businesses and asked if we could set up times to come in for our community field trip. I explained that we are homeschoolers(which is very rare around here)and it would only be us. They were all very opened to the idea of us coming in to visit and to share with us about their business. I have some fun community worksheets and such that were given to me, so we will also be doing that. And we plan on making a big map of our community.
I think that both girls should be getting their letters in the mail around the same time. Once a week is set aside for penpal writing and I am thinking another day once a week for poetry writing.
