One of my favorite things to do while homeschooling is to get out of the house and have some "hands on learning". We've had some wonderful classes and field trip this past year. I want to have a record of them, so here goes.......

Abbey was so excited to be able to sit at a real desk!
They learned about angiosperms and gymnosperms. They took home a plant that they grafted.
School House of wonder on the Eno River, to study plants and bugs
Introduction to edible wild plants(of course, Abbey will eat anything)
