When I arrived home from work yesterday, Yasmeen and Liam came out to
greet my car. They told me that they played charades together and
played the board game Stratego. I am so thrilled when my kids find my
ways to entertain themselves without using a computer or a tv. They did
still have computer and tv time, but I appreciate the non-media
moments.
Tonight, all three kids and I played Stratego. Liam
decided to watch documentaries on The Battle of Thermopylae, The Battle
of Marathon, and another documentary on weaponry of the Dark Ages. He
has already covered Greek History, but homeschooling allows him the
advantage of being able to re-visit a subject matter as it speaks to his
heart. After all, we re-watch our favorite movies and re-read our
favorite books, why not re-study a fascinating subject?
Seneca
was given a new puzzle for Easter. As Agnostics, we skip the religious
part of Easter. The puzzle is very flimsy and made her very frustrated
when it kept breaking apart. I hope she will work on it again soon.
Lesson to mom, don't buy the cheap puzzles.
