Our Oak Meadow Week 24 - A Divergence


With a nod to Oak Meadow, our week 24 took a bit of an unschooled turn this week.  Oh, we finished (!) the word family book, and talked about and drew Clara Barton and Hopi Indians (not together) to stay mostly on track.  But we had homeschool group this week, and a trip to Pittsburgh, and my husband who has been diligently working at growing his consulting business decided that he wanted to take some time off this week.  So I embraced our unschool roots, and had a week with less structure that included LOTS of learning.
