Oh, I should add that we finished our school year today! Yippee! We are both ready for a break. We'll start back up after labor day. I should also mention that we'll continue doing math and science during the time off. I know Amy isn't so thrilled, but hey you gotta do what you gotta do. ; )
Today we "killed" and ant and brought it back to life. I thought later that I should have taken pictures. First step is to collect a bug. Second, put it in water until it "dies" (you'll have to hold it down). After you're sure it's dead (this can take a while) spoon it out onto a paper towel, cover it with salt and wait. Watch it closely. Pretty soon you'll see your bug crawl away. Pretty cool!

What an interesting phenomenon!
At first we thought that the experiment didn't work but I dug around in the salt a little bit and discovered the problem was that the ant couldn't get out of the salt! It was all weighted down. But it was pretty funny to "raise" a ant from the dead. :-)
That's a beautiful post. I'll have to read more about Charlotte Mason.
