I’m also enjoying finding directed inspiration from curriculum. Sometimes it’s nice to just open up the book and do what it says to do!
I grew up using KONOS (from 3rd grade-highschool) and LOVED it. It was such a fun, natural way to learn and really helped prepare me not only for college, but also life-long learning.
Much of what we’ve done over the last several years has been inspired by the hands-on unit-study based approach in KONOS. But we “officially” dug in this last January.
I have to say that it is so nice to have a game-plan that I didn’t have to create. As we wrapped up our study of birds last week, it was so nice to just open up the book and collect materials for an incredible beak experiement!

That is so perfect, thanks for linking that. I’ll add that in to my plans at some point.

We have been taking a break from KONOS this summer and then this fall to do our trip around the world. But we will be starting back up in January with Obedience!!!!!

This is wonderful. I am so excied o find you are a KONOS user. I am always looking for KONOS family blogs to hook up to.
Are you still using it this year?
Heather says
Very cool!
It’s so great that you’re capturing their learning with the camera because they will love remembering these fantastic adventures when they’re older.
Thanks for more ideas!
