Since abandoning, again, our history plans, and incidentally science plans, oh and artist and composer studies, the kids are showing more interest in things. I have noticed this before, and then somehow I forget.
So, right now, what are they interested in?
Well, Cyrus is interested in computer animation, Native Americans, mythology, cars, aircraft, robotics, and drawing.
Cassia is interested in Native Americans, sculpture, butterflies/insects, frogs, fairy & folk tales, and stars.
So what have we been doing this week?
Teaching Textbooks
Primary and Intermediate Language Lessons
All About Spelling
A printable spelling program from scholastic (for Cyrus)
Reading. Cassia and I are really enjoying Tatterhood & Other Tales, and Cyrus has started The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe, as well as The Sign of the Beaver.
We've started reading about trees in The Story Book of Science, and to go along with it, we looked through Meetings with Remarkable Trees.
It has been a good week so far!
We loved Sign of the Beaver--excellent book. I believe we also found a movie to accompany it (after we'd read it). Wonderful, wonderful book--less wonderful film. :)
ReplyDeleteOOPS!--sorry, I'm signed in as my husband (it's Jessica from Only Small Things).
ReplyDeleteOooh, "The Lion, The Witch & the Wardrobe"! I loved the entire Chronicles of Narnia when I was about 9 or 10 (the books far more so than the modern movies).
