My seventh-grader is doing a project in school where he describes with fond memories our homeschool experiment from five years ago (could it be that long?)  We had fun reading my old blog posts from that time.  I thought I would repost this one.
January, 2007
It has now been nearly three months since beginning [...]]]></description>

My daughter did an experiment as an extra-credit assignment in her eighth grade science class, and it had very interesting results that all sour-candy lovers should watch!  She soaked three eggs in different solutions for a month, and then demonstrates the results on this 3-minute YouTube video (the last five minutes or so are [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Our kids generally don&#8217;t participate in summer school, partly because we move to the cabin, and partly because it gives us an opportunity to revisit the stuff we loved most about our homeschool experiment.  Although I&#8217;ll only expect a flexible few hours per week of sit down work, I think it will be enough [...]]]></description>

In September, when Darla reviewed the excellent book, The Secret of Wellington&#8217;s Map, the PR folks for Planet of the Dogs contacted us and asked if Craig would be interested in reviewing it, since he&#8217;s the perfect age for the series.
