My week as dad the teacher

12/6/2015

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. ​
