Summer School

June 30, 2007

You could say we "school" year round but in reality we don't do school at all but are constantly using everyday life and our children's interests as springboards for learning. This week was no different. In between strawberry picking, going to the beach and working at the farm (our field trips for the week) we did the following "school" type activities:

Medieval Book Club party: As a follow up to reading the book "The Door in the Wall" we had a medieval themed party and book discussion with another family who also read the book. A lot of sword play and a lot of fun.

Multicolored Asian Lady beetle larvae: Laurent identified this as a lady bug larvae with a little help from Bugguide.net

Brienne doing math workbook: Celine read the instructions to her and showed Brienne how to write the numbers and figure out some simple addition and subtraction problems. Go girls!
