Learning Update: Sept 4

This past week was a lesson in "theory vs reality."

We started last week with outside classes on Tuesday and then didn't get much done beyond that. We did manage a hike on Saturday - does that count toward science if no one is doing natural science? Something to think about.

Last week was supposed to be a gradual moving into the full schedule. Instead, the girls spent time at the barn soaking in as much barn time as they could before school started in earnest. Isabel and Lucas each went to work with Frank one day; the joy of self-employment. Not a lot of class work being done, but that is ok.

So, a final list of classes for each and here's hoping for more reality and less theory this coming week.
