Pasture Learning

A few months ago, Marlene shared a post one the Well-Educated Heart facebook group about pasture learning.   “I love the description someone offered me of this way of learning.

Pioneer Unit 2022

We temporarily turned half of the shed into a mini log cabin.  I loved creating it so much.  In my dream world we would have a real log cabing tucked into a little patch of forest on our land.     We hosted a pioneer activity for several other Well-Educated Heart homeschool families because 1800’s...
