Home school is community learning

One of our learning projects - Tomales Bay clean-up - content for: social studies, math, art, science, language arts, civics. All those areas of study with bonus: adventure, happiness, freedom, good works.

We presented a slideshow and talk at the College of Marin in 2006. You can search an IJ article about this by looking for this title: Turning the simple life into art in Inverness (September 21, 2006)

We learn from concrete. We move from the concrete to the abstract. This is obvious in younger children. This is why daily life that is inclusive and respectful of children teaches.

Even abstract thinking and writing have roots in the concrete.
