The kids’ homeschool co-op started its spring session today. I’m “teaching” a class called “Planes, Trains and Automobiles and Other Things That Go” for the 3- to 5-year-old set. Five boys and one girl signed up, and today when we started there was also a surprise 2-year-old there. I had a book to read and a few craft-ish things planned. But you know what they say: Planning to keep the attention of a hoard of preschoolers for an hour is planning to fail. Or something like that.

How the Class Actually Went

It’s gonna be a long nine weeks.
