There is cable here and the kids have really enjoyed watching Television. This is a true treat for them. I didn't want to put a halt to our school this week so even though we are not doing everything, I think it is is good that we are continuing with Handwriting Without Tears everyday. Today we were able to complete the US Presidents lesson too.
This is how our day unfolded:
To The School Room! 9:35 a.m.
The Pledge of Allegiance
Unit Study: US Presidents - John Adams and Abigail Adams
HandWriting Without Tears - Frog Jump Letter Review
Abigail Adams "I desire you would Remember the Ladies" Abigail Adams was the wife of a president and the mother of another president. She was an exceptional letter writer for her day. More than two thousand of the private letters she sent to members of her family during her lifetime were saved and later published. Due to her letter writing skills, A. Adams has been noted for her own accomplishments than for those of her husband. Her outspoken interest in public affairs and questions brought sarcastic remarks from some of her husband's political enemies. They went as far as to claim he was merely a puppet whose strings were pulled by "Mrs. President." Though this accusation was false, she was a political partner to her husband.
