Learning our way

We each learn in our own way. My girls love to take traditional learning tools or experiences and make them all their own. Here are some pictures of our learnings this week.

Bead decided that PB&J's were much better made half jelly and half peanut butter on EACH piece of bread.

I have always made food art for them. It's just something I like to do. They do it now too. Beach created a butterfly.

They also have been practicing using the camera for months now. This is not the best photo they have ever taken. It is however an example of how creative their photos are getting. They now take them with different lighting, different angles, and different studies then before. They have taught themselves all of this and more. I have only showed them how to turn the camera on and off. This picture was taken on our field trip to the White Sands Buddhist Monastery. They took so many beautiful photos I was blown away.

They also use Cuisenaire rods in different ways than intended. Which they love to use to create their own form of mandalas.

We love our form of schooling. It's natural. It's organic by nature. It's child led with parent love filled in when needed.
