We begin again! Although learning never really stopped at our house, we've officially begun another year- this time with a third grader and a first grader. The girls say that Phoebe begins a year of learning to sit still and not destroy things! We've already fallen in love with Shakespeare and Longfellow and have spent countless hours in the Middle Ages, learning about illuminated manuscripts and Beowulf! We're learning about the solar system and the girls are very excited to spend time staying up late investigating the night sky! We've released thirteen butterflies so far- swallowtails and monarchs (five left to go). We harvested nine pumpkins so far and canned peaches. We've begun to listen to The Hobbit and have already had a book report and narration. French at dinnertime is amusing. It's a gift to learn with them and we are thrilled to begin again, together!
