Pre-Summer Classes

Monday morning, and all is well. With three weeks left in the school year, and major commitments completed, it's time for mini-planning. What should be attempted these last few weeks?

Most major subjects have finished their runs. Only Math, History and Art are left along with the more physical activities of horses and ballet. Summer calls. Do I let the schedule ride?

No, I think I'll add just one item. Gardening. The requisite plant experiments were done in grade school, but why not expand their knowledge a bit? Instead of planting seeds - rooting cuttings. Instead of watching seeds sprout - plant dissection. Throw in some soil testing and companion planting for a low key, season appropriate mini-course.

I'm off to the library.
