Our choice of curriculum, especially for History , has been Footprints on our Land. We are thoroughly enjoying the book Ghamka By Eve Merchant. Yesterday we set of to The Natural History Museum to explore the San Rock art and other connected sections.
On route, we swung by some fellow homeschoolers to drop something off. It worked out that they two wanted to join our outing.
What a fabulous time we had. I set them a question.
What were the pros and cons of this way of life? ( followed by the comment that they thought this was a good question)
We had a blast sharing ideas and checking out the information cards as well as asking lots of questions.
I just loved the depth and breadth of engagement from all three children and of course am thrilled that Jet is super engaged and interested.
I love that we can join up our learning and this meant we could also check out the bone section and briefly chat about the types of joints found on the colossal whales.
I am personally thriving on exploring how to make learning relevant and deep.
Learning is fun and people, both child and adult alike, are designed to learn, think, problem solve and grow in our understanding.
This is my aim. The absence of tests and assessments have meant that that pressure is off and we can focus on developing other skills.
For those who have never been to this museum, here is a link to check out.
