BE HERE NOW

Saturday, April 12, 2008

This week I obsessed about all of the things that my kids were not learning in school so here I am going to focus on all of the things that got to learn because they stayed home this week:
1. Everyone got to learn about the life cycle of pin worms, what they look like and how they reside inside of people sometimes. (don't ask why we learned this)
2. The cycles of the moon, pictures of the moon and how pinworms are affected by the moon cycle.
3. Homeopathy, what it is and how it is used.
4. What happens when you mix Baking Soda with Vinegar.
5. Different types of plants and how they grow, watching them grow in our yard and in our home.
6. Sewing through their grammy who has been teaching my two middle daughters how to sew.
7. Several different Ancient leaders who we have been reading about in our Cartoon History of the Universe book.
8. Sadie has learned how to play cribbage with her Grandfather this week and how to play Chess with a homeschool group over the last couple of weeks.
9. Nora has been inspired by one of the fathers of one of Gary's students who teaches drawing at a local college. He likes to draw really scary monsters and Nora likes really scary monsters so she has been drawing them all over the house.
10. Sadie learned how to form a story this week because she wanted to write a story and she asked how to do it correctly. She wrote a great story about swimming and competing with real character formation and great sentence structure then she read it to us all.
11. Sadie and Nora have been reading books on the Revolutionary way because of their trip to see Paul Revere's house recently.
12. Sadie started a soccer program and is learning all sorts of things in that.
13. Nora learned about the fishermen's memorial on a walk with Grammy.
14. Molly learned how to add drop a class and how to manage her time better.

Oh, I know one more. Sadie learned about what a nun is during sewing time.

So we covered the Catholic school angle as well. She's all caught up.
