Back to work! Well,Already working!

We've been back to homeschooling for the last two days and it has been great! It has been hard ..it has been eyeopening. 
Fi is diving into writing and science, at both daunting to her because she knows co-op mates will be reading her stuff, and really creative...for the same reason. It has lead to some interesting talks about editing, collaborating and being interdependant. The last bit is something she rails against being such an independent spirit.
In the midst of this, Anya is soaking up info like a sponge. Talking about cephalapods and nematods, not to mention ancient greece and playing the piano. She amazes me!.
Apeaking of viola, Fi will be playing a peice for the director of the string program next week Thursday to determine if she can go up a level. Keep fingers crossed! Fi is super excited and I am to proud of all the hard work she has done in this. She is a bit surprised at how hard learning new pieces has become since what she is learning has a lot of phrasing and dynamics.
Anyway, we are plugging away here...
