No two days alike in the life of a homeschool teacher. All that I plan changes as the days roll on. I tend to leave a lot of room for change. Grace All Over It. This little spot, a simple way for me to track our attendance, curriculum and pace. I will post goals and accomplishments here all for my record keeping purposes. Feel free to pick through & see what we're doing.

Wednesday

Wednesday is our day for Classical Conversations.

Today held our usual memory work. In Art, we discusses Rembrandt and drew self portraits. The kids loved this assignment. I may just set them up to do it again this week sometime. In Science we did two experiments that showed the amplititude & frequency of sound vibrations. Very fun stuff!

On a side note, Eli took his hamster for presentations. He began to tell the tale of losing his other hamster (the dog got her) and all the kids were watching the hamster run on her wheel and laughing. He was a little sad the kids weren't listening but the sweet teacher picked up on it and helped him tell the story, tragedy.

In my class we played a geography game, race to find named locations on the map or globe. Nathan LOVED it, which was very unusual for Geo. He usually struggles with Geo and dislikes it as a result. He yelled out "we should do it like this every time!!"

I also have noticed that Joe seems to be a very visual learner. This was something I hadn't before observed, I guess that's the downside to being so close. Anyhow, this sheds light on how I'll be teaching in the future.
