Homeschool Report

I was talking to Liesl on the phone today and she gave me the wonderful idea to write down things my kids work on and learn so I can see the good that is happening when I get discouraged or doubtful about homeschooling. So here goes . . .

Recent learning (both planned and unplanned):

1. We saw a cave and talked about caves at Silver Dollar City
