. We keep homeschool field trip records of our adventures in a journal each time we do our exploring. This allows us to reflect and process our experiences, practice our narrative writing and create a memory book we can look back at later.
When the weather changes we like to change our homeschool rhythm to make space to enjoy the seasons. We lighten our book based school work to give us time and energy to do other kinds of learning.

Homeschool Art Appreciation, like science, is a very large subject area with many parts. Doing messy projects did not excite me with a house of littles and I didn’t know where to start. So for our first few years of homeschooling we didn’t do formal art lessons.
Those early years of homeschool preschool still influence our homeschooling today. They helped me discover what kind of teacher I was and also what kind of student my oldest was.
