Today the boys had a test on the locations of all the major bones.  I have neglected a lot of rote memory work until recently, especially with my oldest son, so I was expecting a lot of protests.  Instead they have studied like crazy for it!  Why, you ask?  Instead of giving them a paper test, I let them use notecards and tape, sticking the bone names all over each other!  It was really fun (and funny!).  Could you see a room full of kids sticking "humerous" and "phalanges" all over?  I LOVE homeschooling!  To see photos, go the this link: Living Amidst Boys
