Busy, busy day today. Not much time for words.
Above is a picture from a couple of weeks ago, when I was working on a lesson plan while watching the kids playing outside, and 4 somewhat random pages from the two math main lesson books that happened to be nearest to me when I decided to devote a minute and a half to taking math related pictures. I tried to go with some of the more visually pleasing work, because pictures of math problems? Pretty dull to look at (quite unlike, say, adorable, darling, babies in sun bonnets).
Now let’s move on to another subject for a bit, shall we? I’m getting a little bored with this topic, and judging from your lack of comments, so are you. I’m finding talking about it to be, well, a little dry. Teaching and our “school” day is not. It’s actually quite lively and vibrant and often times joyous, but it’s difficult to convey that here. At least in any practical sense.
If anyone has any questions related to the way we do math or how we school in general, please feel free to ask away and I will try to answer as best as I can. And I will be back soon with some non-education related posts, but maybe not until Monday (but who knows?), since we have some house guests for the weekend and I’m so excited to see them that I doubt I’ll be willing to tear myself away for even a moment!
i enjoyed seeing how you do math:-) what do you use as a teaching tool?
Thank you Melody for the little peek into your homeschooling. I for one really enjoyed it. I would like to know how you choose which books to read for Language Arts.
Do you you use your blog as your home school portfolio or do you use something else?
Oh, I loved the peek into your homeschooling. It is so lovely and makes me a little jealous that we don’t do more with Waldorf. I lean more in schooling towards Charlotte Mason and Montessori, but use the idea of rhythms, natural materials, and the beautiful art supplies from Waldorf.
i really enjoyed getting to see the work that your kids are creating and how the academic is combined with the art – i can just imagine that all of that knowledge is retained in a much more profound way! and you have all this wonderful material that shows their progression of learning, very cool~
