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!!
