My week as dad the teacher

What a gift it is to be a dad. I get to learn the beauty of creation through the little lives of my kids.

Recently I had the opportunity to take things up a notch and become teacher-papa for a week. Here’s what we did and learned.

Trips we took “aka field trips”:

• the library to get books to read
  
• the Museum to soak in the learning
  
• Lunch at Frontier for Taco Tuesday
  
• the Airport (including touring around the place) to get Gramma
  
• the Bug Museum to see creepy crawlies
  
• the Music store to buy a tambourine, maraca, drum sticks and a triangle
  
• the Breakwater along Dallas Road to soak in sea life
  

Meals we ate: Mexican, Chinese, Japanese, and all sorts of veggies from the grocery store.

Apps we used:

• Duolingo for French lessons
  
• Math Jr
  
• Several reading apps
  
• The Foos for programming learning
  

Gym time included:

• riding scooters
  
• riding bikes
  
• going to the Oak Bay Pool, Crystal Pool, then Esquimalt Pool (winner)
  
• running around the house and playing tag
  
• dancing around the house
  

Little tips: go to Value Village and get medals and trophies. And, buy as many puzzles as your heart desires for quiet time.

It was a fun week. Here’s a collection of photos from the week. ​
