september learning

This year September brings with it something a little new.  A kindergartener in the family.  Big stuff, I tell you.  As homeschoolers, we haven't found one philosophy or learning style that feels like a perfect fit.  I think it's likely we never will.  We have some curriculum we like, there are projects happening all the time, we gather with other homeschoolers, we cook and build and look up stuff on Youtube.  Pretty much it seems like we are learning all the time.  It's kindergarten after all.

Last weekend found us in Pepin, Wisconsin for Laura Days.   Pepin of course, is the place where Pa built his "Little house in the big woods".  The good folks of Pepin have built a replica on the very land the Ingalls farmed.  And each year they have a fun little festival to celebrate the life and times of Laura Ingalls and her family.  The girls tried their hand at just about everything.

 

On Monday we joined with our Kindergarten homeschooling pack and started the paper-mache turnip that will be the centerpiece of the play the children will put on in a few weeks.  More on that to follow.

So far, school is off to a really fun start!   Hope your September is bright with opportunity as well!
