yesterday, we started back to 7th grade homeschool lessons.
i've decided we would move forward homeschooling like we always have. with living books. i just can't imagine any other way, for us. i did consider purchasing computer curriculum to cover all subjects. but, can't phantom having my son plugged into the computer all day. i did step up to the plate and purchase, teaching textbooks math 7. which is, computer based.
the past couple of days, we've just eased back into it....
here's a little of what we did over the past couple days:
- 4 lessons in math
- tommie read: jacques cousteau short bio.
where spelling words, science and vocabulary words, handwriting were pulled out.
-project and poster on nitrogen narcosis (rapture)
-edited tomi de palo's children's book, "pancakes for breakfast." the book is wordless... i required tommie to write the storyline. he did swell.
-watched the agricultural documentary, "corn king" and "food, inc."
yep, i'm counting it as science and economics.
