Homeschooling...
- Read aloud chapter one in Dr. Art's Guide to Science, and then check out Dr. Art's website; add in a book each about photosynthesis (big theme in chapters one and two) and Galileo
- Have The Boy try out Writing Strands 3 in addition to The Paragraph Book (I'm trying to get him writing more, can you tell?)
- Have The Girl try out the Elson Readers Primer
- Read the first of two chapters on ancient Egypt in the Human Odyssey, along with 2-3 chapters from Pharaohs of Ancient Egypt.
- Stat actually reading The Secret Garden!
- An art project, maybe a history related craft, some more of The Red Pyramid and The Titan's Curse
- Maybe a nature walk at the nearby wetlands!
Food and nutrition...
- Check out a local butcher/meat shop for "wild" meats (currently they have venison, elk, buffalo, and wild boar!)
- Start reading The Primal Blueprint to M in the evenings as he is curious about what I have been reading nutrition-wise. This will be his "bedtime" story!
- I've been experimenting with veggie replacements for grains. My kids really liked the paprika cauliflower "rice" I made yesterday! (I used smoked paprika and left out the cayenne)
Around the house...
- I have a week off coming up, and am planning on some good, old-fashioned spring-cleaning! In the meantime, old clothes continue to go out the door, I've donated a box of books already, sold a few older homeschooling items we're not going to use, and so forth.
- Our veggies are off to a good start! I need to remember to look on craigslist for 5 gallon planters for this year's container garden!
It should be a good week!
