What was the occasion please?
We, as homeschoolers, had a class on China a few years ago. The dragon was made to entertain the smaller children during a Chinese New Year party.
Very creative. Nicely made. Did you enjoy homeschooling? I bet the children did!
We certainly did enjoy homeschooling! The kids especially liked not having to get up at "O dark 30" in order to catch the bus. It's been a great ride. I only have one child left at home who will spend her senior year at the local high school - sniff, sniff. The younger years were more interesting to teach because it was more hands on for me and we did lots of projects together. As they got older, they worked more and more independently and didn't need my help. The oldest was graduated from college a couple of weeks ago. Whoo-hoo! Still have two in college. Did you homeschool? I highly recommend it. It's not for everyone, but if it's possible, the blessings are insurmountable.
