    Celebrated a Birthday

    This week my attitude toward teaching school to Grace has changed dramatically. Not so worried about cramming her mind full of history and science facts that she won't remember by the next week. Looking now for a real connection between her and what she works on. 

    Favorite Learning Experience This Week
    This week I will have to say that the Graphic Artist Communication Mini Unit from Easy Fun School

    Be sure to visit Kris at Weird Unsocialized Homeschoolers for other Weekly Wrap Ups  and Savannah at Hammock Tracks.

Looks like you had a very full week! And I love this: "Not so worried about cramming her mind full of history and science facts that she won't remember by the next week. Looking now for a real connection between her and what she works on." That's what it's all about!

I love your comment too about 'not cramming her mind..." That is EXACTLY how I feel. As long as Keilee can find out dates of things in .2 seconds..what is the point of memorizing when she will forget it in a day? Your week looks awesome. We LOVED WWII study that we just did. I love all Grace's classes. Wow. Keilee would love those. :) Happy weekend Diane.
