Nature Study at Our Doorstep
Posted in California, Elizabeth, Homeschooling, Janie, Susanna, Tommy on Sep 27th, 2016
I picked oceans for our science theme for the year (for obvious reasons). Yesterday it was over 90 by 10 am, so we rushed through school and headed out to Malibu Lagoon (hadn’t been there in five years!) to do some nature study. Note our condo in the background–little light colored splotch in the mountain […]

I haven’t been very good about taking pictures now that school is back in full swing. On Wednesday, when the formal schoolwork was done, the big girls joined Janie with the Lumi-doh that Aunt Terri got us a long time ago (seriously, that stuff lasts forever!). I’m still trying to figure out how to deal […]
Second Day of School

The kids got excited about castles as I was reading aloud their history overview, so they started building and I scrambled to pull up Our Island Story for them to listen to while they expand the castle. This year’s theme: Mommy can be flexible with lesson plans!
