Here's some good news...
Children schooled at home have better social skills
...an article by Julie Smyth of the National Post, a Canadian source.
Today for homeschool Keith read to Cimeron and Aaron from a book about local history: Dear Madam. That was social studies. For science they studied the weatherization of rocks. Aaron read to Keith for a while, and Cimeron practiced typing. They rode their bikes into town to buy bike tire patches. They also spent time sledding down the hill behind our home. There's no snow, but loose dirt and a hillside and plastic sled make this a fun activity for them.
Our landlord gave Aaron two bikes for which he was very grateful. One of them had a bad back tire and Aaron set to work on the project of fixing it right away.
Aaron also created a simple compost bin for me today:
Aaron made the square bin on the right, which I'll be using soon.
