Week 17 of Homespun Homeschool: We practiced drawing the respiratory system from memory, built a magnetic sand-sculpting machine, learned about chickens and how to care for them, recited chart A for Essentials from memory, worked on sentence diagramming, reviewed SPIDO PONA, read in a Gathering of Days, worked on our acrylic painting skills, read an adaptation of Pilgrim’s Progress and attended Forest School where the kids got to “free-range” for hours!
