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.
