FAMILY STUDIES
Here is what we will be studying together as a family. Some family studies take place in the evening, specifically so that dad can take part or lead discussion. Other family studies are covered during the day with multi-level instruction.
- HISTORY: (evening) Yes, we need more history lessons, or maybe just dad and mom! ---> History of America, A Christian Study Course (DVD series)
- WRITING: (evening) Right Words, I am loving this family writing curriculum that we purchased at the Heritage Homestead last November.
- Plutarch's Lives: (evening) Ambleside Online Schedule
- Handicrafts: We rotate every term for each child - Term 1: The Bug - Sewing, The Squeaker - Paper Mache, The Scout - Woodworking
- Life-skills: Each of the children our focusing on their own small business ventures. (Should blog about this later. It has been fun to help them with this interest-led learning.)
