Tristan is my only official homeschooler this year. Colin is fully independent and almost ready to complete his high school education, just a few little things to finish up this year. Trevor and Hayley have both graduated now. Over the fall we made a good start on our homeschooling as well as heading to co-op twice a week for extra curricular classes for Tristan. I'm teaching drama to elementary students this year. Highlights this fall were science labs, some of which involve being outdoors, which leads to chicken helpers, chicks being hatched on our little farm, harvesting the vegetable gardens and painting the chicken coop.
Sometimes the chickens can help you outside with schoolwork...
And sometimes chickens will observe your schoolwork from inside.
There is a lot of crossover from homeschooling to farming. All good learning. Our first chicks hatched right here were born this fall. So much involved with that from keeping track of which eggs the broody hens have (and not letting them add extras!). To candling for growth, to having incubator ready just in case to seeing chicks born and more.

Candling an egg to see if a chick is developing.
Harvest time is a busy and educational time.
