Day one.

We have yet to come up with a name for our little home school. Does it need one? I like the idea, I think.

Today was the beginning of Candlemas/Imbolc/St. Brigid’s Feast. Tomorrow is Groundhog Day! We briefly discussed the significance of these celebrations and how they loosely relate to a gradual returning of the light, with winter being halfway over.

Alden started the day with morning journal, after breakfast. This is carried over from his first grade class at school school, as it was his favorite activity of the day. Morning journal involves a prompt, which I write and he copies and finishes, along with an illustration.

Alden plans to spend spring doing exactly what he loves to do in winter: drawing.

Later we made these Martha crafts, only, our own way, of course.
