Skipping the "books"

Man, we have been busy this week! Not necessarily with things we did, but things we chose to skip. All in the name of fun. I choose not to do any formal teaching with the boys this week (except for preschool story time and their science class) and left it in their hands. God provided the weather, I provided the time outdoors and with some subtle pushing the boys came up with some amazing outdoor play. I feel like in general I lean more towards Waldorf-style schooling with a mix of classical education for my type A personality. Its a lot easier to relax and let nature steer their curiosity when your actually out in it!
