schooling on the farm...

it really IS not all just 

hands on practical skills they "be learnin'..."

We do more than teach tiling

and plumbing

and 

electrical stuff,

and

forestry,

and

hunter safety,

and

refinishing flooring,

and

how to paint, plaster, sand, stain, caulk, and begin to farm...

YUP

we do OTHER schooling too

this is one of Buddy's Math Books

it is his FAVORITE !

it is ONE Ginormous word problem, forcing him to THINK all day about the problems...

to problem

to problem solve

He has this nice composition notebook to work things out in...

Everywhere you walk

IF you don't HAPPEN to be in a construction zone

you MUST keep your eyes open.. because someone may have JUST been sprawled out studying.

they may have just gotten up for a sip of water..

and YOU might trip over Algebra..

or a Book on World Views

or Homer, or Bullfinch, or Beowulf, perhaps Ivanhoe, or Shogun, 

a copy of one Shakespeare's plays or a book on Aesop's fables

or some such thing 

we take every moment 

and try to make the VERY most of it...

discussing he most EXCELLENT literature

working out wonderful mathematical equations with our Life of Fred Curriculumn

and studying the processes of Nature

by observing it, and referencing our many Science and Nature guides

we just have to be CREATIVE when we are up here

to THINK

and to BE out of the BOX

it is exciting to attempt the innovative

Looking forward to finishing certain walls so our world maps can get up :)
