On a lighter note:

1) Why is it interesting to study mummies?

2) What eight letter word has one letter in it?

3) What two words have thousands of letters in them?

4) Which takes longer to run: from first to second base or from second to third base?

 

Answers:

1) Because you can get so wrapped up in them.

2) Envelope

3) Post Office

4) From second to third base, because there is a shortstop in the middle.

Have a glorious day!

Wow, you guys are just all over the board! I can't do ancient Greece and American Revolution and... all at the same time. Guess that's why I don't unschool. Then again, I probably COULD do *science* all over the board, while here *you* are planning to purchase an intensive-study science book. (Actually, I have much wanted to purchase those apologia books, too, but my kids didn't want to do a whole year on flying creatures or sea creatures or...) To each his/her own, eh?

Hi...I'm still smiling over those funnies at the end. What a fun bunch of stuff you're studying. Do you like, study the things they're showing a particular interest in at the time? Like striking while the iron's hot?
OK....just what is this job where they pay you to look at the sky? Sounds too good to be true!
And your comment about crawling hidden paths through the tall grasses sounded too cool. Made me want to be a little kid again.
