Willow has only done one day of stuff at home, so she has two more days to do this week. She's working on English at the moment, studying Romeo and Juliet. She's also working on a small business project, as a project for class 8. Currently she's doing lots of knitting for it.
Gabriel and I are reading 'String, Straightedge and Shadow' for his geometry block. It's a nicely put together historical story of how people learnt about geometry. This is the second time that we've read it; last time was for Willow's geometry block.
Here is some of Gabriel's work.
Arden was also getting involved quite a bit this week- so I helped him by doing the shapes for his picture, and he did the decorating. He says that it is a flower opening up.
A lot of our classes have also restarted for the year- musicianship is back on, as is basketball. Plus we've found a new flute teacher for Willow, who she will start with next week.
We've not done school Mon- Wed for awhile, so it will be interesting to see how it works for us. (In recent years, we've done Tues- Thurs). Though since Willow is largely working independantly, she intends after this week, to have Tuesdays and Fridays off.

2025
The last few years, we just kinda move the days about during the week however suits us, as we've had fewer regular daytime home ed classes. At one point Wednesday was our day out and about as we had iceskating and music happening then. Our usual routine ATM is Mon- Wed learning at home (with woodwork on Tuesdays too), Thursday for home loving/housework, and Friday chill. This also works really well because Arden's at TAFE on Mon- Wed, and this means we can do things with him Thursday and Fridays.
