Happy New Year
So it's a new year and we've decided to climb the local butte as many times as we can. Here's our first of the year. It was a beautiful start. It seems as if the school year is deeply connected with the New Year. I mean, this is the time I read about a lot within the homeschooling community. The time when you're tired, winter is keeping you cooped up, you question what you're doing, blah, blah, blah. Just when we're all ready to start a new year afresh, it's also time to start homeschooling afresh. Get new ideas, get motivated, get out and about. Pump new energy into the daily routine.
-----------------------
Now, since I'm writing this way later, I can say, our goal of 20+ times up the butte in the year did NOT happen. It ended up more like 8-10 times. I couldn't even keep count accurately as I got bored after the first few times. So, like many homeschooling curriculums or plans, I was excited about the hiking plan, I propagated the hiking plan, tried the hiking plan, and then didn't continue the hiking plan, I just set that plan on the shelf with the other unused curriculum.
