So this was September in a nutshell:

 

doing geo-puzzles EVERY school day

then coloring coordinating maps

measuring the distance between countries in South America (B's idea when he figured out how the map key works)

making tortillas – because we were hungry, but they tied in nicely with above

pattern block cards –  oh magnetic pattern blocks, where have you been all my life?

picking apples – making applesauce

math games - they've become wild for anything involving dice

playing British football.  Five days a week. Think: little league in the States.  High school football in Texas.  Somethin' like that. Jury is still out….

discovering the source of the unholy smell in the closet wall (hint – disproportionate size to smell ratio) 

geometry.  Just geometry.  It gets its own line. This helps.

caves of Lascaux impromptu project – there was an article years ago called How a Textbook Mom Does Unit Studies.  I would be like the inverse of that.  I am a unit study mom doing textbooks.  I try to pull out easy projects to go along.  This went with the prehistory chapter.  We lined a closet in brown paper. 

and… planning all the trips in October.
