Like most of you -- I'm assuming -- I try and focus some of N's learning around what he is interested and what I feel he should learn.
Way back in August I had inquired of N what he wanted to learn about. He said the solar system, which we just finished up doing, and the human skeleton. Wow, so I ponder to myself, how can I do this where he will understand at his age level. One would only need to gloss over the information. The solar sytem was simplistic. The skeletal part is -- doesn't seem to be too simplistic to me. I mean it could be simplistic, but for some reason I'm trying to make this harder than it needs to be.
He is into the drums and music and performing. I have so far read a couple of books on the different types of drums. Ah, and I've just came up with an idea. Since I have N do copywork, I will gather pictures of different types of drums and copy a sentence about each one. I will use Unitedstreaming.com to find clips on people playing the different types of drums. |
