The "Beauty" of Homeschooling ;o)

I walked into B's bathroom to put a new box of tissue in there and found his Math curriculum (his current Life of Fred book, the copybook where he answers the questions and a pencil inside).  I went looking for him and asked why they were in there.  He said he had to poop while in the middle of his lesson, so he brought it into the bathroom with him because he didn't want to put it down.  He really enjoys Life of Fred and I'm so glad Julie at Creekside Learning told me about it!

This picture sums up to me, the "beauty" of homeschooling - that learning can be and is done anywhere, everywhere.  Even in the bathroom.  :o)

Dinner Prep Turned Into an Impromptu Science Class

B was watching me unwrap and clean out a duck this afternoon for dinner tonight.  It turned into an impromptu Science class.  He took this picture of me cutting the duck's spine out.  He was fascinated and grossed out all at the same time.  LOL  We went over the anatomy from the inside and labeled things.  He wanted to know what each organ was that came out of the cavity.  He also wanted to know how the duck got from the state of freshly killed to wrapped in the store, i.e. how do they clean it out, how to they get the organs out and then put back in before wrapping, where did the blood and feathers go, etc.  He had opinions on the entire process and I'm so glad we had that discussion!  Something that never would have occurred if he was in a brick-and-mortar school today.  :o)
