TGIF! Have an awesome weekend everyone!
I will continue spending lots of time with my oldest son who is on spring break. We have been doing crafts projects, going to the movies, going bowling, and I think we are going to the zoo today if I can swing it. While at the movies I fell into a pothole and sprained my ankle which now has a golf ball size lump on it. :( But to cheer myself up I got my spring/summer haircut early. I hacked off my shoulder blade length hair…2 inches or so in length on the top and so short in the back they practically shaved it. I am loving it. :)
But on to all the good stuff I have to wrap up the week….
As the number of parents that refuse vaccinations for their children grows we can only expect to start seeing more and more of these type of articles. The article discusses how non vaccinating parents are putting everyone at risk and how laws that allow them to refuse vaccination are foolish. Aka we should be FORCED to vaccinate in their opinion. One person in the article calls those that do not vaccinate “parasites”. The fear mongering is starting.
I came across two cool homeschool resources:
Virtual Field Trips – This web site has organized virtual tours. All the educational research, site navigation and step-by-step instructions will turn web browsing into a goal-oriented educational experience. For instance if you want your child to see the Louvre (who wouldn’t) but you can’t swing that ticket to France this site gives you step by step instructions for navigating their web site so your child can get a mini-Louvre experience. Try it out…it is pretty cool.
Family Road Trip- Wow! How fun is this? This homeschooling family just embarked (this month) on a one year road trip to see America and learn all about American history. They bought a motor-home, packed up their family, and hit the road. On their blog they will share how they homeschool on the road and specifically what are learning about American history…complete with lesson plans and activity suggestions. I am green with envy!
Book Reviews – I have updated my book reviews page to include easy links to all the book reviews I have done on this blog. Be sure to check that out and be prepared for MANY more book reviews over the next month or so. I have an overwhelming stack of books to be read.
