Soap in a Ziploc Bag. Today's lesson in All About Spelling involved me sealing dishwashing liquid in a zip-close plastic baggie. :). I'm going to do the same thing with some shaving cream as soon as I can get to the dollar store to buy some cheap shaving cream. Tuesday, October 19, 2010. Right here, right now.

Handwriting. He does a good job of writing his own name in that it's recognizable. Recently, he started writing the "Z" like a "Z" instead of an "S". That's great! I'm also going to get serious about doing science consistently with him. We read a book called Ducks Don't Get Wet. And there was an experiment in the...

He Counted to 100! We were sitting at the table having our dinner this evening and Z1 decided to count to 100. He asked me to help him when he got stuck. I was expecting that when he got to 40, he'd start to falter but no, he just kept right on to 50 then 60 then 70 then 80 then 90 then 100! Yesterday, we took ...

I am an avid reader and I would be lying if I said it didn't excite me that it looks like Z1 will also be an avid reader. I would be so happy to have engendered a love of reading in him! Last night after dinner, we played addition Bingo which was a lot of fun. We'll definitely do that more often. So the Most High ...

Two Beautiful Brown Boys Learning . . . at Home. An African-American Family Undertakes the Wonderful and Challenging Task of Educating Two Beautiful Brown Boys at Home. Tuesday, March 15, 2011. Z2 always wants to "do school". He generally wants to do anything Z1 does because that's his big brother! So when I found the book half used, I took it and decided to use it for Z2. Why not implement the program at home? I use the HWT program in conjunction with the Brainquest Preschool workbook. This workbook but...

Two Beautiful Brown Boys Learning . . . at Home. An African-American Family Undertakes the Wonderful and Challenging Task of Educating Two Beautiful Brown Boys at Home. Sunday, December 12, 2010. At my job, as part of the critical thinking portion of the math program, we have the kids do something similar to tangrams. They actually use pattern blocks. I think it's a great and fun thinking tool. Here's some history on tangram puzzles. Another game I discovered is the Think Fun Block. Interestingly enough,...

Right here, right now. In my last post I was struggling with the Right Start Math curriculum but I'm sticking with it. Today's lesson (working with 10s) was actually pretty interesting so I'm encouraged. On a different note, it was so exciting today! So that was a wonderful discovery! October 22, 2010 at 2:19 PM.

Two Beautiful Brown Boys Learning . . . at Home. An African-American Family Undertakes the Wonderful and Challenging Task of Educating Two Beautiful Brown Boys at Home. Sunday, December 27, 2009. I have two energetic boys: age 4 and age 2, and the fact that they are boys really informs and influences my attitude about and style of homeschooling. I read a book called Last Child in the Woods. By Richard Louv and another called the Dangerous Book for Boys. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.
