Family traditions. Matter and mass. This is Ben's version of our family flag, but I think it really is HIS personal flag. That is okay. We have our family crest and geneology already on the wall so he was not receptive to a new one.
School is going great. We are one week behind our original start date, but we didn't get materials and online services until three weeks after we started. I'm happy with where we are and his MOVIP teacher is okay with what we are doing so here we stay.
I really like the video teacher films and the materials from Little Lincolns. We've added Susan Bauer Wise's Story of the World Vol. 1 to our curriuculum. I read to him for about an hour and let him do simple map work included in the workbook for the text. He loves ancient history. We've been adding DVD's that show archeology about the time or area we are covering. I've also added Classical Kids stories of great composers that map out a child's version of the composer's life and work. Ben loves to listen to these CDs in the car as we travel. Usually he listens to one CD per trip to Tae Kwon Do .
I've added Daily Devotions, but I'd do that and read to Ben even if he was in public or private school. Need to get back to some of the classical literature I want to read to him at this point.
All in all we have found our niche. The correspondence course is working great for us and the fact that I have a teacher guiding me makes me feel so much more secure with this program. I am happy and Ben is doing his work with less and less resistance.
