Harvest Unit
Good heavens! I just realized that I skipped posting for the whole month of August! It must be because it was more fun to be outside in the garden than inside at the computer.
But now it's time for school--yet I'm still not ready for book work. It's so hard to do academics when we're trying to do canning, dehydrating, and freezing! One year I realized that this was just as educational as math, so I call it our "Harvest Unit" and count it as school. Today we dried basil and froze peaches. Tomorrow is applesauce....
We spend our "days off" at the park or in the mountains with our sketch books. We'll add in the academics gradually so that we're covering all our subject areas by the time the rainy days of winter are here.
