Summer Plans
We plan to spend a ton of time outside this summer. I will reverse our days, so that we can be out and play in the cooler, morning weather. I will move them through literature and history first thing in the am….head out to explore around 10 for a few hours, come back for lunch and choirs and then we can finish up with math and copy work when the day is the hottest and the rain is rolling through. Last year I took a large break in the summer and it was a train wreck, so this year we just steadily will work our way through.
I didn’t set this shot up, they all just hung out there for a split second before they were off again. I am not 100% happy with this shot, as it isn’t a sharp as I would of liked but it will do. I love our nature study.I get to follow them around as they explore, silently watching them work and discover together. That is how this whole photography thing started ya know. There is so much in the way I school them, that is silent. I just set up an environment for them to explore in, and then shut my mouth and let them get to “playing”. Because of the literature we are reading, they naturally make connections all over the place.
I made a decision early on in our homeschool journey to enjoy all our time together, not looking to rush through it and move on to what I want to do, but to be present at all times, and learn with them.
Life is learning, and we are all enjoying our days together. I will upload the rest of our days discoveries later today. For now we need to sketch in our nature journals and then on to Math and Mr. Steve. Oh how we love Mr. Steve around here….he makes my life so easy.
Blessings to all those keeping their mouths shut so their little ones can make connections on their own~
