Today, we learned about mangoes- specifically champagne mangoes because that is what we find at the Farmer's Market. I showed them the inside and how the seed is in the middle. The 2nd then says, "That means it's a fruit- that the seed is inside." And then I let them touch the middle to feel the hardness. We were also able to sneak in some lessons in nutrition. Apparently, my kids thought because champagne mangoes are so sweet, they had to be not so good for our bodies. Oh, my little ones. This is exactly the kind of talk that creates the 7 Days of Learning. Now heap on a ton of reading, and, by golly, we have a school day.
On a personal note, now that the PS isn't going to school and the family is home so much more, our home is becoming ours. I changed some things around and our home is becoming more usable. We are really living in it. We aren't the type to have a school space. Our school space is the couch, Mama's bed, the kitchen counter, in the floor, you name it. It's funny, I know it isn't always the case, but when I see people who have a very classroom style room for homeschool, I often think they are just starting out. I want to give them a hug and a sticker. I'm sure that there are many people that works for, but we're not them. We are the type that everyone is nearby learning different pieces of many lessons.
