Warm weather has arrived early; home schooling at its best:

Nature Study: Stink Bug:

June:
Nature Study: 2nd Snapping Turtle! We didn't get too close to this one...

My son likes to hang out at the creek a lot... I guess that's why we have so many studies there...

My son begins to make things to enter in the County Fair in 4-H.

July:
Independence Day:

The ribbons are from a previous year. And the projects pile up...

And we learned that Aunt Debbi has Stage V Breast Cancer... :( ...and she begins to fight it...

August:
Last minute projects for the Fair...

And then the awards are given... here are a few examples of his awards. Oops! Wrong year! Where are my photos of this years projects? I have no clue.

September:
First day of School

October:

Nature Study, in which we find a "Wheel Bug". Experiment result - they do not eat worms.

Field Trip: C&O Canal

Homeschooling in flannel jammies -- that's part of why we homeschool, right?

November:

Boy Scouts extended hike and sleepover on the C&O Canal.

Thanksgiving of course.

December:

Boy Scouts work at Antietam Battle field, putting out illuminarios for the annual lights to remember the fallen in our nation's deadliest-ever battle. And a cold night's campout.

Nature Study: Birds

Christmas.
