First Day of School

We are set for school! The schoolroom is straightened up. Student schedules posted -- and signed by their authors with a flourish. Mushroom chairs abound

This year, if students distract each other too much, they have agreed in advance to retreat to their respective mushroom chairs.

We are down to three students this year: grades 10, 8, and 5. Interesting courses include AP Calculus online, free courseware from MIT, and great textbooks in Marine Biology, Colonial America (original source documents), and journals by explorers encountering ancient Aztec, Maya, and Inca ruins.

It was a great summer, but, as usual, students have been eagerly looking forward to this day . . . the first day of school -- and now it is here!
