Logging Our Homeschool Journey

so far our homeschool has been a mixture of unschooling, charlotte mason style and waldorf. every eclectic!

right now i've fallen in love with the core curriculum series and am using the kindergarten for jaden and the preschool for sage.

we combine reading from these books with math-u-see, computer online games and various books that jaden and i pick out from the library. we also use educational videos and hands-on learning (gardening, chores, taking care of the animals, cooking, etc.).

spring is here and we are learning about the life cycle of plants first hand. yesterday we sowed our early greens (lettuce, spinach, kale) in the garden and transplanted some horseradish plants to their proper location.

today we are baking cupcakes, learning math while making goodies.
