Rusty and Rosy School!

Well after much debate, worry, prayer, etc. we found a program we love for Ayden! It's a great state run program called UPSTART, and they use a fun computer program called Rusty and Rosy Learn with me! We love it so far. It's nothing too intense for a pre-school aged child! I have to say I love my sister's for all their good input, advice, and encouragement as I've contemplated schooling at home, or charter school, or what! And a shout out to the best father on this earth! In my biased opinion at least :) Joel would go to the ends of the earth to make sure he looked into, read about, and researched every schooling opportunity out there for Ayden, and he is only of age for Preschool!!! He is a great Father to our two children, they adore him and he them! And I kinda like him too :)
I have to say I strongly agree with the principles a TJED teaches! My sis Jen introduced us to this type of learning, A Thomas Jefferson Education. I was privileged to hear the founder Oliver DeMille speak at a conference held near their college, George Wythe, In St. George when Ayden was just a babe! My sis Jen took Mom and I and we loved it. We love the 4 basics of: home, love, work, play! If you are ever interested in more about this type of an education its very enlightening and can open your home to a whole new idea and way of doing things! Our home, every part can be a learning environment! I am no expert though, I think my sis Jen can be classified as one so write her for further enlightenment! I hope I have only shed good light on this wonderful program, and holla to any moms trying to educate your children! I support all efforts and programs that benefit our children and expand their little minds to the wonders around us! We'll see how we do with Rusty and Rosy as a small part of our education process! My lil' man Ayden is very excited about his own computer set up in his own corner of the living room! I used my Cricket cutter to make a little sign for him that he LOVED! I've put a pic of him by his computer, and a pic of us after we discussed the weather changes outside! He was inspired by his new "blogger mom" so he insisted we take pics of him in the rain and leaves, and then one of me! Yikes....to be fair, rain was in my eyes, I had just finished morning chores, and....I dont know! We had fun though, which means a lot around here! Enjoy :) Love
