Well, we are back from vacation and I'm abadoning the Experiment with a sort of unschooling approach. It was great at first and then degenerated into not much worthy activity. So I'm just going to take it one day at a time.
Today the boys had an interesting activity outside of "school". Luke was mowing and saw a large snakeskin by a hole. He dug out the hole and found eight snake eggs. No sign of the snake. First he put the eggs in a container and then thought they might have a better chance of hatching if he put them back in the hole. I think he has attempted to cover it somehow so he can check it everyday and prevent the babies from escaping. How's that for some hands-on science?
Here are the rest of our more traditionally academic activites:
Bible
Read Alouds: Augustus Caesar's World pgs. 35 - 49 and Kezzi read us a poem
Reading: everyone on their own
Math: Fraction Jugglers game with boys, I read Fraction Action to Annalise and she played with our fraction board puzzle. I am so excited about this approach with Annalise. I am amazed at how much she has already learned about fractions. The girls worked on their Teaching Textbook programs.
Science: Kezzi, Hope and Luke listened to the Tracking CD from the Kamana program. Abel and Annalise went out in search of a wildflower to draw in their Nature Journals and they came home and sketched out their pictures.
