Don't get me wrong. If there's something to write, I will. But this blogging thing was a LOT easier when we were unschooling. It's hard to just keep writing that this child did these pages in this book and that one studied the same thing again, and we all did PE, etc. Dull, dull, dull. And not at all conducive to blogging. All our schoolwork is going well. We are making fine progress. In science, the younger three and I have finished our mammal study in biology and will be moving on to humans now. I asked what chapter they'd like to do and they all agreed "People! But, can we skip any gross stuff?" John did an interesting estimation exercise - the old "how many marbles in a jar" one, but we used Skittles in a tupperware. Ah, the winner got to eat them! We must have made it too easy, though, because we were all within 20 of the right answer!  Our local zoo had a Harvest Fair we attended. It was educational, and so fun! I have Kate working on a write up of what we did, so I'll just post pictures here.  The Blacksmith and his wares   They had a lot of coffee filters in the 1800s? A demonstration by a relative of a veteran of "The War of Northern Aggression" (that's what they call the Civil War here.) We did some research into what guinea pigs like to eat and planted our cavy her very own garden! She loves it, is happy to have fresh veggies, and I feel much safer about her eating these grasses than the ones we put weed killer on!  Y'all will have to forgive me. I'm not very good at this electronic stuff yet, so the pix are kind of skewed. I'm working on it, though! |
