Homespun Homeschool Week #5

Week 5 of homeschool: we did fingerprint art, wrote a character-story about a shy opera singer, saw cuttlefish, penguins and much more at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, tested rates at which various liquids freeze, learned about France then went to a French patisserie, made abstract puddle art, spotted otters, starfish and hermit crabs in the wild, made historical pop-up pages and saw California Historical Landmark # 1!

Homespun Homeschool Week #4

Week 4 of homeschool: we wrote our own Code of Justinian, did a scavenger hunt in the Sequoias, read The Wind in the Willows, reimagined a Joan Miro painting (with an impromptu art lesson from Grampy) learned about clefs, sharps and flats, transposed Antonio Dvorak’s Symphony #9 to solfege (Field did it completely by himself), and made a clay cheetah!

Homespun Homeschool Week #2

Great second week of school! We made a Celtic double-sided ax, wrote a story about a parachuter, grew shoots and roots from dried beans, simulated the rings of Saturn, created art from complimentary colors and our chrysalis hatched into a beautiful fritillary butterfly!
