The Olympics

So we are studying "Creation to the Greeks" this year. I've been thinking that maybe we need to look at the Olympics. How it started and such. I'm not sure whether we will start the year next week or if we should just Tivo a few events and watch them as time goes on. I know Anthony is in no hurry to start school again. Ananya starts preschool in 3 weeks. I was hoping to be back from India and start school then. I don't think its really a good idea for us to wait that long though. I want the whole homeschool experience to be fun for Anthony, but am not sure how to do it.
I'm going to send him to classes at the local science center once a month. I know that will make him happy. Anything to get away from the evil mom.
We will be visiting an exhibit in Charlotte sometime this month. It is on a Day in Pompeii. I think we may just make an exploding volcano.
We definitely need to work on our manners around here too. We have gotten alittle lax and there haven't been enough pleases and thank yous. Got get control before a house full of children over rule us.
I'm also excited to do more cooking projects this year. We are going to make Challah and have a traditional Jewish Sabbath this year (at least in my head). Not sure how everyone else is going to warm to the idea. It may be nice though. I'll try to disconnect my family from technology for a day. I'll probably have to drag them down to the lake for most of the day.
Anyways. I'll keep everyone posted on how we are doing. I may be kind of vague in descriptions.
Just remember. I don't mean for this blog in anyway to be a complete diary of our homeschooling. I won't list everything we are covering. Remember that.
