yeah I’m with you on the unofficial strewing…of laundry. 😕

But, I beg to differ…strewing can certainly be an important and serious tool in the home educator’s toolbox! In desiring to instill a lifetime of learning, a love of learning, a curiosity, this tool is about putting great and beautiful, worthy and noble ideas before the children and allowing them to ruminate on them.

I actually think it can be more beneficial than a formal homeschool study room…but again, that’s my 2c worth 😉

Leonie had a good post on strewing too. Have you read it? Any thoughts?

Dirty socks, coffee cups, and wet towels are regularly strewn about. Perhaps my children are trying to provide me with learning opportunities… 😕

Seriously though, we have maps on the dining room table, as well as picture postcards from around the world. Sometimes I change it to Native Australian Birds, or May Gibbs art, or anything else that takes my fancy.

We use old art calenders to display pictures, and change the picture when we become used to it. Books go without saying, though it is a bit tough now the littlest family member is mobile, and without due respect for our prized volumes!

While it is something we do, it is hard to take it seriously as an official homeschooling tool. 😉
