Although I’ve always known we’d be on the path to homeschooling, this year we really got down to business and made a commitment to this way of life and we’re so glad we did! Our kids Luca (age 8), Rose (age 5) and Remi (age 3) explore life and learn every day through reading, imagination, play, and time spent together and with our community. We are documenting our experience here. Enjoy!
The kids helped me set up my art booth at Salad Garden in Grafton in early June – they love being helpful and I love sharing the process with them
This month at Library Friends the fabulous David Newland came to play and sing songs about his arctic adventuring – what a treasure he is for us all in this community! We also had Aunt Mary come by and share her love of clay with us! The kids made some beautiful pinch pots and other clay explorations
