WELCOME!

WELCOME! I used this blog to share our family's homeschooling thoughts and experiences. Our oldest child, EL, finished her formal education in May 2017, and we graduated our son, JJ, from High School in May 2021. I will leave this blog up for anyone who wishes to read our curriculum reviews or see what types of field trips and/or activities we participated in.

RTR Week 2: Julius Caesar, Brain Concentration, etc.

Here are a few pictures from
week 2 of Rome to the Reformation...

As I read about Julius Caesar and Octavius from "Augustus
Caesar's World," Coyote drew the scenes on the white board.
  
We learned about the left and right hemispheres of the brain
and how the left controls the right side, and vice versa.

The kids tried to pat their heads and rub their tummies
to show how it takes concentration to do things like this.
  
We played an Odd and Even game from ancient Roman times,
using beans (originally used with small stones).

This is a wall hanging we received from my husband's parents at Christmas. It is hanging in our school room, and we used it on Friday as we talked about being responsible by loving God and loving others.

  2. I wish I had been home schooled. It looks as if you all enjoy it. The students who seem to learn quicker at Brookes were home schooled.

  3. Hello Victoria. I like your home rules. Can you type what verses for each rule, just I cannot see it on picture. I want to use them in our Bible study this week. Thank you for your share of homeschool life.
