Aiden's Social Studies:



Aiden is loving this year's Donna Ward, Canada;s Native Long Ago Socials curriculum (we also used her Canada program for grade one). This past bit, he has been learning about Eastern Woodland Hunters and Eastern Woodland Farmers. He has also been asking lots of questions about his Metis heritage and using Granda Brookes as a research partner.

 



The Eastern Woodland Hunters gathered berries in the summer.

 



.... The Eastern Woodland Hunters live in wigwams and move to where their food is....

 



Mapping the regions. 

Registering

Changes. This next year we will be registering as a homeschool family, instead of enrolling. That equals no reporting. It has been a hard year. There has been much growth too- kids learning to read, two-wheelers conquered, math concepts sticking stronger, adding of a Kindergartener, exploration of family history. We now need to simplify. Circumstances are uncertain. I foresee growth of a different kind, but we shall see. I won't make it to the beloved homeschool conference even. We are still excited for what next year in homeschooling will bring, even if it will look a bit different.

Keiran too.
