"Tell me and I Forget. Teach me and I Remember. Involve me and I LEARN." ~Benjamin Franklin |
This has been our first week back to school where all the activities are in full swing. I was a bit worried with the curriculum switch but it has gone surprisingly well. We've stayed on task for the most part. :oP We are still learning about Colonial America and will be for the next few weeks and will end with our unit study. Speedy has kept up with his readings for TOG. He has been enjoying the readings out of the Story of Architecture Book and has attempted to make some rock candy, hopefully with more success than I have had when we tried it years ago. He followed a recipe from a book we had on hand. We are still trying to get into a routine with our weekly discussions and I'm hoping that over time it will get easier to schedule in. Rosey has been busy with her science fair project that is due next week for CC. She decided to test if people favor different learning styles. Goosey was busy making her colonial rope bed for the cats. She also made as a Christmas gift for me, an easier version of a tin punch! She used aluminum foil to wrap around a jar and poked holes in the foil to create the word JOY. A tin punch was actually a craft during the Colonial Period. For our countries, we visited Morocco by having mint tea (the national drink) and learned about their ways of serving it. We found a neat video about it on youtube (the link is here). The kids also created a patterned rug but on a sheet of graph paper. Right before we "left" Morocco, we decided to watch the first episode of Young Indiana Jones after my kids vetoed Casablanca after the first 10 mins. To our
surprise, the Young Indiana Jones episode was filmed in Morocco so that went really well!
