Garden School

Lu specially built this table for homeschool purposes
as a carpentry project for his recent carpentry craze.

So we decided to give it a try outside

and do our schoolwork in the garden today

because it was such a lovely morning.

 

We mixed it up a bit and started out with Science -

 water, air, and atmosphere.

There was a knock at the door. Lu went to get it...

Fresh Onions!

sent down by Cha who's working on a food forest 

up the mountain.

 Lu: Mama, come look at the cotton plant. It's flowering!

 

It's so nice to be outside.

Okay. Back to work. Vocabulary. And a little snack.

Lu will eat all of this and then have a full lunch 2 hours later.
Amazing.

Now some math. Uh-oh. Almost out of coffee.

 And I think the cat bowl needs refilling too.

Yay, Cha's home! Noon already?

Cha: Can we have an early lunch?

Me: Sure, if you heat it up.

Cha: Grrr. Okay. I'm starving.

Me: (Yes!) Heat up the tortillas too.

- Cha exits, I do the I-just-got-off-lunch-duty dance -

Speed Spelling and Grammar
