We've started slowly. There is no avoiding the math everyday; we subscribe to a program online and they both dig in quite nicely. There is the standard, "What did you do this summer?" essay they are both completing, but for fun they are to be humorous in the style of Eddie Izzard. My son is working on his computer graphics programs and daughter on writing a comic book with her long distance best friend. They both have picked back up on their music after vacation. We are trying to find our best location to compile a wildlife study on the property here, then they will set up a research design and file reports with the department head (me being the department). But there was one burning project that could not WAIT for my daughter, and that was to identify all the fossils that I was able to pick out of boxes that were at the very back corner of a Sequim Rock Shop. Of course, I have boxes of bones and books for comparison and she spent the better part of a day with her initial identification. We are just identifying the bone, I have no fossil to compare with for species. After the kids are certain of what bone everything is and with their investigation for possible animals in the fossil record to check, we will have a field trip to compare with a paleo collection.
