Wednesday A Week of Current Events

Well, for whatever reason the debate only recorded for 1 minute last night.  So, I had to adjust our day by watching clips and post-debate shows.  This was actually quite boring, lol.  I also had Caitlin follow the candidates on Facebook plus a few news organizations.  Each week she will have to go through her feed to see what topics they are all talking about and discuss with me.  The first primary votes are less than 3 weeks away.

Next week, and possibly longer, we will be recording and watching the Impeachment trial of President Trump.  I forgot to add one important event to the list below.  The whole Russian Government just resigned after President Putin attempted to make changes to the Constitution.

Homeschool Olympic Writing Idea

The other day, at the dinner table, I was talking to the kids, and my husband, about watching the Olympics in Feb for school.  Now we will not watch all the Olympics, and most will probably be tivoed and watched the next day.  But, my husband had a brilliant idea to go along with the Olympics.  He said to have each child choose the Winter Olympic sport that they have the most interest in.  Then, they watch those events, and write a report about what happens.  Plus, research the sport to do a report on that as well. I think this is a brilliant idea, and the kids seem to think it was an OK idea.  So, that is what we will be doing for our Winter Olympic homeschool activities this year.  Now, if you want to give it a try, you can find a list of all the Olympic sports, by clicking right here. 

Le t me know if you choose to do it too, and we can share what our kids decide to do, and how they do it.
