Day Off: Homeschool

Sometimes I like to give her a day off from the public school madness and do something that actually seems meaningful. We went to Wright Woods for a nature hike, wrote some friendly letters to relatives, did "book club", and watched a video about volcanoes. Some things we talked about on our hike...

Pollen, fragrance, bees


Why do vines grow on those rocks in the middle of the woods?



Glaciers


Why some flowers have "hair"


The symmetry of webs


Reasons these are shaped like umbrellas


How a fern and moss are different



Life sprouting from the dead


Poisonous?





How many types of fungi there must be



Fall leftovers


Tip ups make good animal homes



Late bloomers


These


Reasons animals we thought were nocturnal are out


Can cameras record reflections?


And then to the park for recess.
