Discipling Tons of Sons

Research, Research, Research!

After rereading Language Arts the Easy Way by Cindy Rushton, I decided that the boys were ready to start doing their own research and write about it.  I do have the boys write everyday but I now understand the importance of having them write for a reason.   Yesterday I asked them what they wanted to learn about today.  Bruiser (10, 4th grade) wanted to learn about warfare guns.  Doodle Bug (8 1/2, 3rd) chose WWI.  They both read about their particular interest in the Kingfisher Enclyclopedia and wrote an impressive paragraph.  I was so excited!!!  My academic goal for my boys is to teach them to love to learn.  I know that I can't teach them everything in this world but I can teach them to how to find out information.  Today they will be expand on their subjects by reading and accessing The Usbourne Internet-linked Enclyclopedia of World History.  They are to make a notebook page each day on their subject for one week.  Can't wait to see if they want to dig deeper into their subject or chose a new topic next week.  Keep in mind this assignment isn't in place of our daily history study on the Middle Ages.  We are studying Islam and Muhammed.

Have a blessed day and remember to shine your light!!
