Jul. 23, 2008 - Impromtu History
I love being home with my children! We can learn so much everyday. I enjoy seeing them excited about learning.
Today at breakfast Nathaniel said something about "Indians". I'm not an overly PC gal, but really I would rather he say "Native Americans". After all, he's not talking about people from India is he?
Anyway that lead to a discussion on why Native Americans were called Indians for so long, and still are by some. We talked of Christopher Columbus, geography, and the belief that the Earth was flat.
I broke out the globe and showed them where all the places were and they could understand just exactly what CC thought he would be able to do.
The more I break out of my public schooling mindset from my youth, the more I discover just how easy, fun, and natural this homeschooling endeavor is.
