January 17Th is Benjamin Franklin's Birthday! We will be celebrating by reading a couple of books about him and coloring a picture of him which I got here and with cake! Care to join us? For more ideas click here.
Thanks for that link. I found a great article through the Smithsonian for Sam. I have been taking it easy on the school work this week but I had to do something today. Ben Franklin is one of his favorites. Have checked out the homeschooling section on about.com. They have some great printables on there for him including some simple puzzles and tic tac toe. P might like doing them with little man.
Neat. It is Benjamin Franklin's birthday and Milne's this week. Ami always like to quote one of B. Franklin's sayings. I thinks she says,"Lost time is never found." or something like that.
Kate, this is really weird, but we've had the EXACT same ailments! Pink eye, croup/throwing up, coughing, fever! Funny how they all get sick at the same time with the same stuff, even 10 or 15 towns over...lol! Unfortunately, Yours Truly also got pink eye, coughing and laryngitis, so we have missed a good three-four days of "School." Oh well, we need a break. Glad you're all better now!!!
My homeschool buddies and I are all posting pics of
our "home schools" as part of our idea sharing.

Knowledge which is acquired under compulsion has no hold on the mind. Therefore do not use compulsion, but let early education be a sort of amusement; you will then be better able to discover the child's natural bent .

Mrs D- I'm sure you are covering so much more than I'm doing with P...I just hope to have her familiar with the topic at this stage.
H- will do- he has been a lifelong fave of mine..he started public libraries don't you know! ;-)
Oh, neat! I bet there's all kind of interesting stuff out there about him. Didn't he invent the lending library? And about a million other things?
I like Hat Day, too! Very cute :)
Hi Amanda!

Ami read a book on Benjamin Franklin today. It was one of those Dover books.
