Field Logs, In Progress

Why our reading list starts where the standard curriculum stops, and what that has meant for the first month.

A slate, a chalk stub, and the week Latin stopped being an abstraction and became a game she wanted to win.

A half-built toy boat, three failed hulls, and a lesson in displacement no worksheet could have delivered.

A frustrating week with fractions, a worksheet that ended up crumpled, and what we changed because of it.

Why we keep a handwritten ledger instead of a grading app, and how we use it to decide what comes next.

The evening reading habit that turned into the most consistent lesson of the entire week.
