A Purple Elephant Excerpt:
It was a beautiful morning on Ahway Island. Two children were just finishing their lessons. Every morning their parents, who were also their teachers, read books with them. Sometimes the books were about imaginary things, like stories about dinosaurs who went to the park to play on dinosaur swing sets. Sometimes the books were factual, filled with explanations about how trains work or how ice cream is made. The children liked both types of books equally.
After they read with their parents, the children studied mathematics. The children enjoyed using small blocks in different sizes to help them add and subtract. Once math was finished, it was time for lunch and then time to play outside.
