Cieslak's Homeschool-journey
It's all about the fun, the craziness, the things we learn and our thoughts!!!
You know you will have a good lesson, when you begin by listening to the following: m.youtube.com/watch?v=4rQSJDLM8ZE 😬 Science this year will be a lot of fun because we will be talking about Astronomy and everything that comes with it. The boys are already excited and I am as well because that was one of the subjects I prepared quite a bit for, when I got ready for homeschooling. I was already impressed when we discussed different pictures and the titles for different lesson-related things. I showed them the below picture and asked them what that was and how it was named. Nathan said, without thinking long at all: "That's a constellation!" I asked him how he knew that and he told me that he learned it by playing the video game "Zelda". 😱😱😱 I guess video games aren't always such a waste of time after all. 😜 The rest of our science lesson they worked hard to make (put together) a solar system model. They did a great job and I love watching them learn and being creative. 😊 Day two was definitely a success. 🤑 Here are a few pictures of them working on their model and the end result. Love my boys!!!!

Wow, here we go again. Summer break is over and we have officially started a new school year, our second homeschool year. It sure was nice not having to worry about school for 2 months, but I am also excited to be on a normal everyday schedule again. To much freedom and playtime is only a good thing for so long, until it gets boring and becomes too much. We don't want to turn into super lazy beings, ya know? 😉
Summer break was great though. We visited my parents and the boys stayed with them for over 2 weeks, we visited my sister in Switzerland and Nathan got to spend a week by himself with them. We also continued a few school things, when we weren't traveling and so the boys still had to read every day, do some math exercises, continue their workout routine and so on. I think doing that during a long break, helps them not feel so overwhelmed when a tight school schedule starts again. 😊 And here are the back-to-school pictures. (I actually remembered this time.) 😜 Hard to believe that they are now in 5th and 6th grade. 😘 Happy new school year to us!!! 🎈🎉🎈 |
