Cieslak's Homeschool-journey
It's all about the fun, the craziness, the things we learn and our thoughts!!!
It is crazy to think that we are already 3 months into the new school year. We are so used to our schedule now, that homeschooling doesn't really feel weird anymore. In fact, we continue to love it. We've had some interesting lessons so far this year. Science, is all about astronomy. In one of our lessons we discussed some serious crazy numbers. It was cool to learn though, even though math and I will never be really good friends. ;) In History we are in the process of learning about the Romans and that is pretty interesting as well. (Literature is kind of going that route too, since we have discussed the play "Julius Ceasar" from Shakespeare.) During one lesson we tried to make a "bulla". It was some type of pouch thingy that the Romans had. Unfortunately the emphasis of this sentence lies on tried! ;) Then in one of our Literature Lessons, about Julius Ceasar, the boys created a laurel wreath. It was nothing special, just a small activity to make it more visual. They also created a little poster in another one of our astronomy science lessons. Now, the coolest school related adventure happened today, when we went on a spontaneous family-school field trip. I have said it before, and I am going to say it again, but one of the greatest things about living in Germany is the chance to travel to different countries, visit cool places and have field trips we would never be able to have if we were living in the States. Today we got to visit a museum that created something that was part of my childhood. We visited the "Augsburger Puppenkiste". It is a museum, but also theater, that creates plays as well as movies with their puppets. It was so cool to see the puppets I grew up watching on TV. It has a special meaning to many Germans because we all grew up with it. I even remember watching some of those movies on occasions in school as a special treat . So yeah, it was pretty awesome to check it out and show my kids as well. Here are a bunch of pictures of our "field trip" from today. They even created Harry Potter puppets. :D We finished our museum visit with lunch at their cafe, and hubby ordered a meal that included the biggest Schnitzel we have ever seen.
