Learning in the Summer

What learning is currently taking place in your home?  In the middle of summer, it may seem like learning is on a hiatus, but that’s not true!  There are always learning opportunities and experiences that can foster a great time learning--you just have to make sure they don’t always pass by without being seized.  

One of the neat things we’ve been doing lately is keeping track of animals and critters that we are finding near our house.  There’s a very distinct bird call we’ve been hearing outside and we finally determined that it was a Chuck-will’s Widow.  We accessed the internet and learned what we could about that bird and other similar animal habitats.  We may be breaking from school, but learning never stops.
