Friday is always our big homeschooling day. We used to have Monday too but now we go to Asheville on Mondays to get Noah to his Woodworking/Form drawing class. We are able to focus on schoolwork work on Tues, Wed, and Thurs mornings between 7:30 and 9:00am. Because at 9:00 to head down to Earthaven (get the kids to Forest Children and the mama to work) we are unable to do much more than book work on those mornings. But come Friday, we go crazy! Art projects, science experiments, nature walks....all activities that are messy and time consuming!
Noah has been learning about Ancient Civilizations this year and this week the focus is India. We have been learning about and listening to Indian music, he read and wrote about Buddhism, and today we made an Indian lunch of rice, chapatis, and dal. It was messy and time consuming and delicious. Here is Noah's feelings about writing reports...
Nim and I gathered leaves and ironed them into wax paper to add to her science book. She was able to identify most of the trees. She also has been working on memorizing a poem. Today she recited the poem and we recorded it to share with you all...And the mother of all messy and time consuming activities....
making paper!
