Oceanography and The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe

So,  I have made an executive decision.  That is one of the things I love about homeschooling:  I am the boss, and it something is not working well I can change it.  It seems like I am re-evaluating weekly with this child.

Caitlin completed 10 out of 16 lessons of her Physical Science lessons.  She absolutely hates this course, and it is more of a fight than anything else to get her to do it.  She passed, and will receive 1/2 credit for that class.  But, that leaves a 1/2 credit left, so I am moving her on to Oceanography on Easy Peasy Homeschool High School.  She will most likely go through the Summer and get it finished getting a whole credit, and leaving her with a 1/2 credit extra for grade 9.  This can come in handy later.  She should be able to move pretty easily through this course, as it is everything she enjoys. 

For American History she started learning about Alexander Graham Bell on Friday, and will finish up that video today.  Tomorrow we will move on to the Wright Brothers.

The History Of Aviation

Tomorrow for Science class we are covering erosion, photography, and the history of aviation. If you don't remember what you learned in school, ahem like me, then the videos below will refresh your memory. I find most interesting that the Wright brothers, neither one of them even graduated high school. I also found interesting that the problem with flying was not actually the flying part, but controlling the plane. We have a lovely childrens encyclopedia that was given to us by friends, and it has one whole book on the history of aviation. We will not be reading the whole thing tomorrow LOL! The videos are in black and white and quite old but you will get more from listening than by seeing in this case. Enjoy!
