Jul. 15, 2009 - The Human Body - making brain, heart, lung models...
We enjoyed using the following book with another family. We used a free room in our local library and met weekly. We rotated teaching and preparing for each lesson. My 1 year old overheard us saying the heart goes "bum bum bum bum," and she began pointing to pictures of hearts (real ones and drawn ones) and patting her chest while saying, "Bum bum bum bum." It has been amazing to observe the kids recalling information from the study. The extra effort in planning and preparing every other week was definitely worth it.

We were able to go to a live production of Slim Goodbody in our town. Does anyone remember him growing up? I did! Wow, they memorize a lot to put on that production!!
