“No one cares how much you know until they know

“No one cares how much you know until they know how much you care.” - Theodore Roosevelt

Hiked the island dedicated to one of our favorite homeschoolers today! Spending time in nature helps children develop into people who care—who are curious about the world around them and their place in it. Today’s student-led conversation topics included the history of TR Island and the man himself, the habitat of a bald eagle, why the current of the river was flowing upstream, the reason that monuments are built, the type of mushrooms growing, and the identification of spiders. But mostly, we enjoyed a beautiful fall day with our friends!

We had a great time celebrating our Stone Soup Thanksgiving today—each of the ingredients was contributed by one of our students, and yes, we cooked it with a real stone! 😊 We are thankful for all of our students, teachers, and parents at Scholé!

There's nothing like a fall day in DC, especially when you're at the National Arboretum! We had a beautiful morning of nature sketching, hunting for flowering and non-flowering plants, and hiking with friends!

There are somethings in homeschooling that are just better together--things like poetry teatime, Roman toga parties, and science experiments are way more fun in a group!

We love coming together to study STEM--whether it's an engineering challenge, extracting DNA from a banana, peering through a microscope, or growing fungi, we're always learning through exploring the world around us.
