Samuel (age 3) and Tobias (age 17 mos) do not have formal school lessons. They like to join Mason for story time and Samuel sometimes joins in science. Mostly they play. A lot of Mason and Caleb's day is still play as well. The rest of the kids finish lessons and are free to explore their own interests or play. Homeschooling is a wonderful life!
