Enrichment
The boys have been doing Calvert for almost a year now, and you know, sometimes, it can be kind of dry. Last time we experimented with starting the day with The Writer's Almanac. I'm a big fan, but the boys favor Car Talk over something so mellow.
This time around, we're trying something else, and it may be just the thing. I've been watching the TED talks online for ages, but it never occurred to me that we should introduce the boys to them too.
Needless to say, the boys are loving it. Yesterday, we were late starting school because it was market day. Before I'd even finished unpacking groceries, Nicholas came up to remind me that we hadn't watched a TED talk yet. We're trying to give the boys a sampling for now: from caving and outer space to vending machines for crows. We'll see what tickles their fancy.
