Cieslak's Homeschool-journey
It's all about the fun, the craziness, the things we learn and our thoughts!!!
We have been busy, again, with different subjects and fun craft projects. In History this week, we learned about the "Greeks and their Gods", and as a fun little craft project our boys made two toilet paper roll figures: a Cyclop and a Zeus! :) I love those cute little craft ideas which make learning more visual and exciting. In Literature we finished our lessons on Felix Salten's "Bambi" and today we started on William Shakespeare! I was a bit afraid about that, since Shakespeare isn't the easiest to understand and yet such a famous writer. It is interesting though, that there is not much information on Shakespeare himself, but a few fun facts are definitely interesting. I researched the Internet on Shakespeare before (as I was trying to find information about him for one of my books) and today I shared those facts with my boys. The craziest information about him is definitely, that he was married at the age of 18 to a woman named Anne Hathaway and she was already 26. Talk about a wow fact. ;) My boys were certainly surprised. ;) So since this first lesson was just information about him, and not really about his plays and sonnets, we had a little writing exercise in which our boys had to use some of his sayings and phrases and create a little story within a few minutes. It was interesting to see which phrases they picked... ;) Since we talked about different biomes and ecosystems in Science over the past few weeks, we finished our last lesson by creating a coral reef/ ocean biome habitat. It was a fun way to get creative, and the boys enjoyed finding resources they could use for it, while I printed out backgrounds and different kinds of fish to beautify our habitat. :) I think it looks rather nice and our boys had a blast being creative.
