Reflections on Nature Study pt 2 by Angi DeLong

Bydawn April 1, 2025

If you missed Part 1 – start here. How to Begin without Feeling Overwhelmed Are you inspired? I sure hope so! But how do you begin without it feeling like one more thing to add to your already full plate?  It can be as simple as noting what you see: “The clouds are gray and…

Reflections on Nature Study by Angi DeLong

Bydawn March 26, 2025April 1, 2025

I am so excited to introduce you to my dear friend Angi today. I met Angi when her daughter and my oldest played soccer together. We were a force of loud – encouraging – soccer moms from the sidelines together. When we found out each family homeschooled, we became good friends. We’ve walked, nearly weekly,…

Tomorrow is the Winter Warmer so I’ll be quite busy all day. I’ve struggled more this week to get my reading done. The routine of waking up and getting started is a struggle to even get to my books. Cooking breakfast has become a priority, which is a great thing. I want to feed and…

My Weekly Amble: February 10-15, 2025

Bydawn February 15, 2025February 15, 2025

Last week, I wrote kind of a summing up post. This week, I’ve simply copied my Substack ruminations. Do you have a preference? This was certainly faster, but less … contemplative of the week’s reading … tell me in the comments! I’ll probably do a mix based on how much time I have to pull…

Bydawn February 8, 2025

I’m playing at Substack: I have no intention of abandoning ladydusk.com … I’ve had this blog for a very long time – whether on blogger or here on my own URL. I have a goal of writing here more frequently (not that 2025 has been a good indicator so far). But, so many people are…

Thieves break in and steal

Bydawn October 13, 2023

Dr Gamble’s The Great Tradition is still influencing my reading. This year I read Great Pedagogical Essays by FVN Painter which is the anthology that inspired Dr. Gamble to his work. It was surprising to me how much overlap there was between the two; the first half (or so) was largely the same writers, starting…

And now for something completely different.

Bydawn April 19, 2022

Well, for our homeschool. Perhaps one of the best known posts on my blog is Aligning your Academic Year with the Calendar Year. I’m really proud of that post and of the time we’ve been able to do just that – follow our own year and school year round. Unfortunately over the last year “school…
