It was super HOT, but we had a co-op at the Botanical Gardens, specifically to see this incredible art installation:
It was so cool! Then, we walked around the gardens some more and ended up at the butterfly pavilion area.The girls got really into it, identifying all the butterflies. I thought to myself, "Wait a minute! If we add a few more things, we can count this as our first day of school."
So, we did.
We came home and did some nature journaling- they took the pictures of butterflies they had on my phone, and drew them. Perfect- art. Then, we had something new we are starting this year: Poetry tea (juice) time. This is where we have some "tea", perhaps lunch/snack, and we read poetry to each other. Then, we did read alouds and called it our first day of school. Pretty cool, since it definitely did not feel like school, and the kids had no idea we were doing school. That's the best kind of school there is!
