{Scrapbook} :: A Peek into our School Days of late...



So many things go into this wonderful world of a Charlotte Mason education.


Here is a photo gallery of all we've been up to lately...

Catching little minnows in a pond after a good rain.

Looks like a Great Blue Heron has been fishing down here too!

It is quite impressive how large this footprint is!








































This is little Almanzo's "math", as he refers to it :-)
I am quite impressed with his coloring skills!
Alice helped him make the flowers.

    1. Thanks so much, Dawn :-)
      It's always good to hear sweet comments and to know what we are doing is an encouragement to others like y'all are to me!

  2. Love the pond photo, Kristyn. We go "creek walking and critter catching" as we call it, every summer. One of our favorite pastimes. :)
    Actually, I love all the photos. I always enjoy a peek into other families' days; it always inspires me in some way.
    Have a great day!

  3. I'd love it if you shared this post to the Keeping Company link-up too, if you don't mind, Kristyn! No pressure, but I'd love for people to see that they can include posts with mostly just photos or a variety of Keeping (and other activities) all at once. I love how you have copywork, mapping, drawn narrations, and more here!
