Home School

Home school is a fluid affair. We are focusing on Math, spelling & Grammer, reading, physical and life sciences. This morning we took the inflatable to the beach and on the way to the old sugar mill we spent time examining gastropods living in the intertidal zone. There are a half dozen species of snale living on the rocks here. We discovered that after the snail dies and it's shell is cast up on the beach that it provides a used home to the species of land hermit crabs indigenous to these islands.
It is quite a suprise to lean down to pick up a nice shell and have it either run away from you or pinch your fingers.
