Now, I'm trying to get them to open up about what they want to learn about. Dominic wants to learn about electricity. However, he has been obsessed with the human body for about a year. I thought that perhaps his new interest in electricity would overtake his interest in the body, but no. He wants to learn about the brain, the heart, the lungs, blood and veins, RNA and DNA. So, now, I'm looking for resources outside of the 300 or so books (yes, I'm exaggerating) we have about the human body.
Obviously, we'll be studying the human body this year. But, now I need ideas for the other boys. Gabriel is on board for the brain, and I'm sure Xavier will enjoy learning about anything. However, I'd love to see ideas of things that YOU might enjoy learning about. Is there a specific event in history you think the boys might be interested in? (Obviously, Dominic needs to learn to type, since he keeps pressing keys while I'm typing, the rat.) Is there some fun geography program that you've seen? Is there a book that they just have to read?
We're open to suggestions.
Daniel and I have decided to homeschool Eve this year...
ReplyDeleteNervous Nelly, here!
It sounds like your boys are really enjoying school. I am sure they will look back with much appreciation on the these years!
300 books on the human body! Wowza!
