Not Back To School
We’re
We don’t use any set curriculum, or have a set timetable. We pick and choose, and follow what the kids interests are in. Mornings are usually ‘sit down and work time’, mainly through projects as opposed to me teaching, them learning.
The kiddos are looking forward to some fun science experiments and some nature study {this book and this one are fantastic!}
We’re planning some field trips also which we’re all excited about – Delemere Forest is our destination next week with friends, for a bug spotting and den building day. I’m so grateful to have my kiddos home with me, and to be able to make learning such fun. That’s not to say we don’t have days that are hard, we do… five people in one house, together all the time, there are days we drive each other crazy ha! But still, I don’t think I’d change a single thing.
