Our life in books



This is our eigth year of homeschooling and I finally got around to blogging about our adventures a few years ago.
I love the path that God has us on.
We get to enjoy the lightbulb moments in educating our children and have quite a few of them ourselves.

We are starting Exploration to 1850's this school year, 2012-2013 using My Father's World curriculum.
Rome to the Reformation,
Exploration to the 1850's and NOW.........

Below is the week by week of lessons for this year if you'd like to start at the beginning.
There is also a handy LABELS area that you can peek through to find a specific lesson.

Riley's Apple Farm Field Trip

We love a good field trip and this one was made for our study of early colonial times. We learned about all the chores that had to done on a farm. We made some music with a washboard, spoons, and a metal triangle. The kids had lessons in panning for gold, archery, cider -pressing, apple tree farming, etc.


   The big boys, Jack, Everett, and Kibru donning aprons for some old- fashioned farm chores.

Mackenzie and Harper coring apples to slice

Sawing logs..........
 to build a log cabin, of course.


Pounding coffee  - she enjoyed this a little too much


Pressing apples for cider




Finally, picking some ripe ones to take home.
