The Rhythm of Our Days

Fall Poetry

Today First Born and Sunshine made up poems about our fall days. I liked them so well I turned them into a project ;-).

They sketched scenes of fall and then I helped them paint them in a light, washy, watercolor. After they were dry, they rewrote their poems (with corrected spelling LOL) over the top of the picture. I wish I could post the pictures; they turned out so well! But here's their poems:

The Fall Tree, by: Sunshine

Oh in the summer and spring
there is a tree with leaves of green
but now it's cold and momma sold
the pine from that tree
and the leaves scatter around the yard.
But not one leaf on that tree.
They are red, yellow, and brown and
a quarter of green.
I think of this as I eat green beans!
It is wet and it is cold.
The tree lies asleep
never more in the summer length.

Fall by: First Born

Fall. Red and Yellow falling leaves
a soft, cooling breeze
There's a mother out in her yard
raking leaves that have
fallen from the trees.

Description
Labels don't fit. Not 'homeschooler", not "unschooler" not "classical educator". We are a family. We learn, we play, we read, we fight, we laugh, we struggle, and we discover together. We shun the calendar and packaged curriculum. You won't find a "teacher's guide" with a schedule making me it's slave within these walls. What you will find is a group of people, sometimes rough around the edges, digging in the dirt to grow things, reading books to expand our minds, paint up to our elbows, chickens in the yard, something simmering on the stove, and maybe tea on the front porch....this is a record of The Rhythm of Our Days. Living, Learning, Laughing, and Loving.
