Lately I've been taking Zorah to an unschooling playgroup on Wednesdays, held at rotating parks in the area. One of the people in that group told me of another group, this one of homeschoolers, who have their park days on Tuesdays. Of course Zorah was raring to go. Except it was postponed until Tuesday due to inclement weather.
I don't consider myself to be a really social person, so I was happy to find that it wasn't too hard making conversation with anyone in either of the groups. I guess that's because deciding to keep your children away from traditional schools is a pretty major thing to have in common. What is interesting is the differing mindset of people within one group, which is in turn vastly different from the members in the other. I love it.
Anyway, Zorah had a blast, especially when April, one of the co-moderators of the group, pulled out the parachute. Wheee!
One good thing about this park day is that it is shorter. I have a tendency to hang around until the last person leaves. Since everyone left on time at 2:30pm, I was able to get home in time to change Zorah into gymnastics gear and head to her class. She did some really fantastic things today too. In this video, she does a handstand roll, a backward roll, and backward dips on the beam.
In the next video, she does a backbend, which she never did before by herself. Luckily, her teacher, Miss Barbara, was unable to spot her, being occupied with another student.
