This week at home we started by learning about the human eye, read about Michelangelo, and looked at art by Raku Inoue. Elliot made a beautiful mixed media collage inspired by his work. Then the rest of our studies focused on the autumn equinox with lessons about how people celebrate, pumpkins, and apples! We are all excited that fall is finally here and happy to say BYE BYE to summer 🍂

Excited for Elliot to start his co-op Monday and continue our learning at home with the @harborandsprout curriculum and @thepeacefulpress farm guide.
