• Sep. 18, 2006 - Loving Learning

It is one of my greatest joys to see my boys developing a true love of learning. 

 

C. LOVES history.  He loves to read about it, talk about it, and live it in imaginary play.  Last week he learned about Ancient Egyptians in Sonlight Core K and he literally asked for more and more information about Ancient Egypt.  After our reading each day C. pretended to be a Professor while I pretended to be gathering information for a paper on Ancient Egypt and needed his help.  He gave me all the information he could about our reading from memory, while I typed it and "oooohed and ahhhhed" about the amazing knoweledge of the great Professor.  These were the most enjoyable narrations he's ever done.  Afterwards I printed out his narration and he illustrated it and placed it in his notebook.  C. (& G. participated in this, too) also enjoyed making an Egyptian collar and wearing it while he made his brown bear pull a homemade chariot with leggo guys sitting on it to the leggo pyramids that were located on top of the dresser so little sister wouldn't be able to destroy them. 

 

G. is reading about farms in Sonlight PreK and enjoying his own special school time.  He loves it when F. is napping and C. is doing independent work at his desk and he gets my lap and a good story all to himself.  I have to admit, I really love this part, too.

Isn't it great when we can tap into what our kids are interested in! Inspiring our kids to love learning is what we all hope for, right? I have been to the WP boards and seem to go back and forth with whether I should continue with sonlight and/or add more hands on from WP. I enjoy reading your posts there and hope you find what works best for your family!
