every year, i "say" we're going to homechool lightly throughout summer. always with a rip-roaring good intent. we loose momentum around june 18. and then it fizzles out completely by july 4th. a few weeks ago, after six years of homeschooling and suggesting and trying to sell my son on the benefits of plugging along through the summer....

he

decides that he'd like to homeschool during the summer.

now, if you know my sweet boy.... you'll find this hard to believe as i do.

i'm secretly excited... since i love schooling outside in such nice weather. and enjoy nature studies and outside learning so much!

today, we worked on our plant study. the seven principals of living organisms. we also put a mixture of bits and pieces of morel mushrooms under our ash tree for next years harvest.

we had to skip a lesson in math.... couldn't find the protractor.
