Here's a homeschooler for you
We were on vacation for 10 days. Did a lot of playing with cousins, swimming, and even watching TV.
The moment we walked in the door at home, she had a snack, watched a Magic School Bus video, and set about to make a model of the Solar System. "How many planets are there, Mom?" "Usually nine, but I think they discovered a 10th." "Can I have 11 colored wires, 11 sticky tags, and some tape?"
I found a few web pages to refresh my memory about the planets while she took out some rubber balls, made some balls out of wire, asked for help labeling the planets, and attached them to a couple of clothes hangers. The sun is a yellow tennis ball.
We think the 10th planet's name is Quaoar (from an internet search) and included that one too.
This morning she woke up and asked: "What planet should we study today, Mom?"
So we will be off to the library to check out books about the Solar System.
