Tuatara's Daily Log

This is a picture that Tara drew using the paint app on mum's laptop. It is of dad's work

Well today Tuatara would view herself as not doing any learning today. But little does she know she did a lot of 'life as it happens' learning 

Today Tuatara and mum went to work with dad and his new shop.

Tuatara learnt how to use the work computer to find codes and prices for stock and then transfer that information to the price gun and price the goods that needed price tags. Considering she is only 8yrs old, I think she did a great job  But then again I'm her mum so I guess I am bias 

Tuatara is also learning about shop etiquette. How it is not like home and that it is not ok to yell at mum or dad from the other side of the shop when she needs us 
She is doing great with this one, it is just curbing the 'interruption' bug. Especially when dad is talking to a customer and Tuatara is needing to urgently (well urgently to her) talk to dad. Practice makes perfect though when learning this one, so it will get better over time.
She always greets every customer with a big smile and a 'Good Morning' or 'Good Afternoon', which is very cute and brings a smile to every customer face.

When Tuatara felt she had done her part as being a shop helper, she went and watched 'Ergon' DVD and later did some of her Minecraft.

Oh and I (mum) is trying to organise a tour of the local Tip Top factory to extend on Tara's interest in ice cream from her 'Land of Ice Cream' story.
We are still in organisation mode for this, as we are trying to get some other home schooling families to come too. Which will be great for us being new to Auckland, to meet some other home schooling families from around here.
