Lessons

So far homeschooling has not required me to open up The Trunk. I’ve been carrying Bulfinch’s Mythology along in my bag and pulled it out the other day reading aloud a few chapters when we hit one especially featureless stretch of road. Sarabelle and Grice know the stories better than I do and Elle has been requesting I read some more stories from The Book.

That’s history and literature.

On Mackay Beach, at extreme low tide, just before sunset when the beach stretches out for miles, we observed billions of little crabs making their homes by rolling sand balls out of their holes, scattering them around the entrance.

There were also worms and snails.

That’s science.
