Our Homeschool Curriculum Is So Advanced...

...that even in kindergarten, we have a specialized course in agriculture and botany, taught by an expert in the field (or in the garden, as the case may be)!

Seriously, I love the fact that Josiah gets so much hands-on, real-life learning from a variety of sources, including his grandparents. Such integrated learning--science goes along with faith, character walks hand and hand with history, math and art are partners--how priceless!

~ in this picture, Josiah is learning from his grandmother how to take off the very last old dried-up ears of corn left on the stalk before cutting the stalk into smaller pieces to be plowed into the soil to return nutrients to it...then what do you do with the ears of corn? take them to your neighbor's pig, of course!...by the way, the white stuff in the garden is not snow...it's shredded paper, compliments of my mulch-happy mother :)
