Project learning ~ Bedrooms and Dollhouses (& Pond building too)
September 4, 2009
During the craziness of last month I alluded to getting Celine started on a project. I also briefly mentioned the perhaps projects are our home education modus operandi. I'm not sure I'm ready to hang my hat totally on that idea but my kiddos sure do learn an awful lot ...
Celine's dog Yvon
August 5, 2009
I have a bunch of things to say about project learning (not to be confused with unit studies), which I think just might be our method to this madness called homeschooling. Sometime I hope to get the ideas out of my head and onto this digital paper but in the ...
