Hey Friends, Family, and Familiars...
Cheers and good health to one and all, and here's to the brothers and sisters that aren't here.
We are working towards the kids taking full ownership over their education. We continously talk about the reasons to learn new facts and skills, develop new relationships and improve existing ones, and further condition and exercise both body and mind. In our safe and loving environment, we are learning by reading, writing, singing, dancing, experimenting, cooking, loving, and by doing.
So what have we been doing lately?
Going to the B & O Railroad Museum...
Hanging Out at the Maryland State Fair...
Drivin' Tractor (Yes, those are J.I. CASE Co. Tractors...Go Eagles!)
Racin' Pigs...
Pettin' Pigs...
Watchin' Chainsaw sculpture...
The Nascar Truck Series...
and Hot Chicks...(no really, they were under the incubator!)
Also at the Maryland state fair, we discovered...
1st place nuts
and 3rd place nuts
along with a big ole' Crazy Hog
What else have we been learning by doing?
ARt, history and fun through sculpture...
Culinary Chemistry and Practical Math with cooking...
(Indy made a box mix and Izaia made a wheat flour/gluten free cake from scratch all by themselves!)
Human biology and anatomy with Indy's broken arm (oh, no!!!)...
(Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers as he works hard to heal!!!)Human biology and anatomy with a new baby girl (oh, yes!!!)...
(We're due in Jan/Feb)This last week, we also learned about the Homeschool Portfolio Review Process in Maryland (we passed, yeah!), about Angel's meeting and surpassing all of her developmental milestones for her age (yeah!), and about Queen and the lyrics to we will rock you! (Check out the video)
Each day, I continue to be struck by their beauty and how they cannot help but to share it with the world...
Thanks for listening, and take care until next time,
Daddioso
