First week of homeschooling

We started a kindergarten in our home this week and these are my students!  We have a very loose curriculum from little acorn learning.  My only goals so far are to surround them with beauty everyday and establish rhythm.  We are a Waldorf homeschooling family and I will post about that extensively later.  First, here are our first week of assignments...

 

The boys are writing in their nature books.  Our week was about squirrels, their habitat, food, and identification.  We took samples of the nut trees they most likely consumed and drew the particular leaves in our books.  We took samples of the leaves.

We made nut butters (almond, cashew, and peanut) and identified different nuts.  We read and told stories about squirrels.

We conducted experiments of how acrobatic they could be.  here we tried to get them to walk a tight rope.

 We otherwise tried to find where they lived.




Lots of field study...

Next week it is about family!
