Final Day: Robots!
| August 19, 2011 | Posted by Mommy Cameron | Homeschooling under ABCs, Letter Rr, Pure Fun, Robot Theme |
Today was the last day or our robot theme. The boys definitely responded better to the robot theme, than they did to last weeks summer theme. My goal for each theme is to finish each week with a project of some sort. Some weeks it may be a craft, others a book or a lapbook, or maybe just something that is a lot of fun. This week we went with a fun project. We created robots made out of our recyclable materials. Thing 1 absolutely loved this. He has constantly been playing with his robot and the robot that Daddy… {Read More}
Robots : Day 2

Today was a great day in our little homeschool. Originally, I was thinking that school wasn’t going to happen, because the boys are still really tired from their colds.

However, after rest time, Thing 1 and Thing 2 were still awake, so I asked them if they wanted to do school and they both said “yes!” and ran to the table. I have decided that each day after we have done our calendar board, I will give them a little warm up activity that relates to each boys objectives for the week. This… {Read More}

One thing I learned from last week, is that the boys were not interested in the summer theme that I had chose. Which made me realize that if I want the boys to enjoy learning, then I should help them learn about the things that interest them. Thus, one day last week I asked the boys what they wanted to learn about. I got the typical boys answers of cars, trucks, motorcycles, fire trucks, trains, etc. So I worked super hard this weekend, thanks to my husband entertaining the boys, and came up with our new theme of the week… {Read More}
