School Resumes

Alright, school has resumed. However, it's hot and I am uncomfortable for very justifiable reasons... so we're taking it slow. This week we just did reading. Next week I am adding math and science back into the mix. The following week handwriting and history return. Not to mention we're going to do the summer reading program at the local library. After that week copywork, memory work, geography and the arts will resume.

On Thursday we took a field trip to a botanical garden as part of our study on plants. Plants from now until August. Human Body will begin in October through November. Finally, we will study our huge Animal unit from December until the school year ends in April or May, we will culminate that with a trip to the zoo.

Well, that is a brief rundown of our plans for science. Now for some pictures of our trip:

Both Boo and Meenie enjoy the children's garden.

Here we are with Mama's favorite flowers--Children and Irises.
