A Homeschool Cat is an Educated Cat

Meet Oreo, one of our homeschooled cats. My daughter "Sprite" is educated at home and since the cats like to get in the middle of everything we do, I figure that these are some very educated cats!

Look at the photos for the evidence. And join in the fun by adding some funny captions! What is Oreo really thinking? Does he enjoy homeschool?

Oreo Studies Math 

work a little...

Sprite learns math through a living math approach, similar to the way Charlotte Mason recommended. Living math includes lots of hands-on and real life experiences as well as notebooking. See Oreo with the math manipulatives and the math notebook? He's doing living math!
