Definitely Mundane Today
|
I'm posting only so no one thinks I'm slacking already. I've been trying to figure out how to do things like put an entry under "about me" and it's not working AT ALL. And I wouldn't mind trying to post favorite links, but after my abject failure at the About Me, I'm not ready to tackle something else yet! I've been feeling somewhat under the weather for a week or so and I'm extremely tired of it. I just have too much to do!! Although, now that I think about it, today I feel better than I have in several days, so maybe I'm on the mend. In our 8th grade home school, we are reading about the Crusades. I'm using a cool book which my husband used to read at his grandmother's house when he was a young whippersnapper, so it has been around for a while, called The Age of Chivalry (it's from National Geographic). This is a very cool book and we have been learning so much from it! Did you know, for example, that there were NINE crusades? Abeka only mentions four, I had never heard there were that many (well, I suppose it's possible they told me in school but I remember so little from those days....). Fascinating stuff. I used to hate history...now it's my favorite subject. Education is SO wasted on the young. Currently reading: The Tapestry by Edith Schaeffer. |
