We are finally starting to enjoy cooler mornings here! Yesterday morning Michael suggested that we start school on our balcony. He is a genius. We have a pretty large second floor balcony, so we went out on it, spread a quilt and then piled our schoolbooks on it. We actually did almost all of our school day out there until we had to come in for lunch
{I think that being outdoors may have actually helped them focus.}
{The oak tree was kind enough to give us acorns to go along with our lesson about seeds.}
We so enjoyed yesterday, that we have already had school out there again this morning. This may be a frequent happening until the weather gets too cold. I think it was beneficial for all of us. The change of scenery was so nice. It is easy to get in a rut with school, but this was a simple way to change things up a bit and refresh us!
Now, why didn't they have school like this when I was a youngster!I came along a "little" while after the one room schoolhouse! Ha!Ha! you are doing a great job!
ReplyDeletewhat a swell idea! our recent heat wave is gone and i can enjoy the breeze again.
ReplyDeletei love learning about seeds and things. do you have any crafts planned for the acorns?
Your backyard looks so pretty! I've never seen it when I was there. We've been spending a lot more time outside too. This cool weather is good for me. It puts me in a good mood :)
