Boys 'R' Us

Apr. 6, 2008

Current Event Monday

Posted in Current Events Studies

Our current event study this week will focus on the island of Cuba. Cuba has been in the news quite frequently lately with it's recent leadership change and some policies and practices in the communist country have subsequently changed as well. Microwaves and cell phones are now allowed on the island and even a TV channel with foreign content will soon be broadcasting. I think it will be interesting to watch this small country in the months and years to come. Here are some links to news stories on some of the recent changes. I am going to read them with the boys and see where the discussion leads.

Boys 'R' Us

We are a homeschooling family raising 4 boys in Virginia. This blog is mostly about anything relevant to raising boys or homeschooling in general - but every once in a while I can't help but add some nonsense from our daily life.
