In an effort to have some order and regularity, awhile back, I took the AO readings and split them up into daily themes. So, today we had all the normal fare, and then we got to the good stuff...
Astronomy - we read this with EVERYBODY, little Mya included.
Fairy Land of Science
Christian Liberty's Nature Reader
Physics Lab in the Home - this a new book this term and I think the boys are gonna like it!! ;)Art
Nature Walk
Handbook of Nature Study (focus: birds)Hooray for Nature Day!!! It's our favorite because we all like our time outside SO much!
Tomorrow's Literature day... probably our 2nd favorite day of the week :)
If you're curious, you can see how I've split up the week by theme on our sample week list. I print a copy of each week's list for each of us (this is a big project that I work on ahead of time each HPD. I do a whole 12 wk. term at a time). The boys keep track of their own readings on their own lists (that is when they keep track of their lists...) One day, I plan to hand over the planning to them... they'll be in charge and have to decide which days/hours to read what... oh won't that be delicious?! :) just waiting for things to ripen a little more in the responsibility category, if you know what I mean :)
I hope you all had a wonderful Monday as we did :)
