2009 marked the beginning of homeschooling for our family. After several years of research and a trial run late during the previous year, we worked out a formula that we could begin with. For the moment we are happy to let the learning be largely led by the kid's latest interests. We expect that schooling will be something that continually changes for us as the kids abilities, focus and enthusiasm for certain subjects grow.
One subject in particular never seems to be far from their thoughts - Insects (anything creepy-crawly really!!). If it is small enough to fit into the magnifying container and stands still long enough, then it is fair game. Even tiny critters that try to make a run for it but are not quick enough, will end up as the latest family pet for a day! Over time, it seems that the content of the container becomes more and more creepy... we seem to have an influx of scorpians recently!
