THE MARVELLOUS MUZZIES...

We are beginners in home education and at times it can be quite overwhelming. We live in a small coastal town in NSW and it appears there is no one like us in this town so it can be a little lonely.

Originally Mr. Muzzy and I came up with a curriculum, set out a weekly time plan and bought a diary so we could keep track of everything Mr. T was doing - it didn't even last a day. We are just not structured people, life for us can't be routined it's just too boring.
We decided to just keep doing what we had been doing since his birth, reading stacks of books daily and exploring whatever he is fascinated by.

Mr. T will be 6 in July and his reading skills are awesome. Right now his fascination is with superheroes. Our loungeroom is a mine field of "good guys" there's a beefy looking Superman, a one legged Spiderman, a hideous looking thing called The Thing, a bright yellow car called Bumblebee and the brand new obsession - Ironman!

Last Friday (after we had all recovered from the flu) we decided to treat ourselves with a visit to the pictures, we saw Ironman (an ace movie by the way). After several different people questioned Mr. T about not being in school I became a little paranoid. What educational qualities could Ironman possibly have? (Though really I don't need to justify myself if we want a nice day out, we'll bloody well have one). It wasn't long, however, until my educational needs were met...I was super proud when Mr. T read at the top of his lungs the subtitles, without any difficulites. HA! Just goes to show a lesson can be learned under any circumstances.

The three of us really do dance to the beat of our own drum AND we have loads of fun along the way.
Mrs. Muzzy.
