here is DQ doing science in a corner (she says it's quieter there and she can concentrate better). She's doing a diagram of a frog and its inners. If you click to enlarge, you'll see the plastic frog model complete with removable insides which we found at Dollar Tree for just $1.00. Good buy!
We do school subjects whenever they strike our fancy...
here is DQ composing a song at the piano.
We do school with our friends at co-op class.
We do school with anyone...
Here is DQ taking quiet time reading with the dog. (Notice what she uses as a bookmark; Monopoly money)
...and reading to her dad.
We do school through community activities. Here we are at a community march...
We do school through nature camps...
...and nature walks...
...and field trips.
We do school at archery classes...
...and at other people's homes.
It's all learning. It isn't completely "home" schooling. It's learning in the world around us and society at large. Author Danielle Bean writes about the mother's role in a "home" educating family here.
Stay tune for more "learning" moments.
Thanks for sharing these wonderful photos, Cay!
