We had a wonderful afternoon! We took a trip up to Harford County to visit the Broom's Bloom Dairy. They have a cute little cafe and a sunflower field you can frolic in. Our trip up last year was in September. the sunflowers were already wilting and the line to enter the cafe was extended all the way to the parking lot! Today, we had only one person ahead of us in line and we were in and out in no time.
I had the kids pick out a sunflower to stand next to and snapped a photo before they could complain or argue with me. School pictures -DONE!
Today is day 4 of our school year and honestly, so far so good. Henry is a lot more independent this year and I'm super proud of him for that. I still have to go over everything - EVERY LITTLE THING- before and after the assignment, but I wouldn't want it any other way.
Isabelle has a little desk area she made in her room. She gets her work done and she has plenty of free time the rest of the day. She really loves taking care of the little garden she and Chris made me. She even researched an environmentally friendly way to control the bugs eating her veggies and strawberries -soapy water. I'm so proud of her, that is what Unschooling is all about, IMO.
Lillian is coming around. She's still sad that she's not in Kindergarten, but the work she's doing is a lot of review, so, she's not overwhelmed at all.
Juliana has been slacking this week. Her friend is still on summer vacation and she's been hanging out with Juliana this week. She's been able to get some school work accomplished before her friends dropped off in the afternoon. Next week will be a whole different story.
Of course, we made a video of our trip
