'13/14 Week 4 Day 1

Week 4 is underway and, I believe, I have become used to the new dynamics of teaching two children, the volume of material, and the method of delivering, presenting, and handling the classes. It is very 'doable', but it does make me think with awe of all the super homeschooling mothers who teach more than two children of different ages. 

Math. Playing shopping (or the family shopper in training).

History. From Charles the Great, Andrew has moved on to king Alfred of England. BBC has some fun activities on line for kids which we checked out at the end of our class.

Civics. A few weeks ago, Andrew read a book about the Statue of Liberty, last week we watched a show on TV about the history of the statue, and today, we talked about it again as one of the symbols of America. The worksheet the children filled out (from Education.com) asked for the home state of the statue, so I had them put together the US puzzle that proudly featured the statue as well.

History. With Saara, we are reading about the Roman times. Being girls, we - of course - had to try out some 'Romanish' hairdos.
