Today I asked the sunchild what sort of things he would like to focus on in homeschooling. We came up with a list of things which is by no means complete, yet can provide a framework with which to begin.

The sunchilds' list:

take apart machines
lowercase letters
math: counting by 10s & 100s & other numbers
also measuring, time, and money.
cooking
electricity
what happened before. we discussed making a personal history scrapbook
space
knights
how telescopes & microscopes work
go to the art museum
bow & arrow
dinosaurs
how a clock works

Some of the ideas I came up with, and that he thought were good are:
poetry, rhyming, haiku
natural history, observation, journaling & drawing
food, eating, recipes, cooking
history: ohio, american, world, and familial
literature: harry potter, narnia, dr. seuss, etc.
dictation of stories
music, dance
insects & other animals
grow things
how to get along with others
swimming, bicycling
spanish
the state song that papa knows
fonts & ways of making letters.

I know this is just the very tip of the iceberg. I wanted to bring up the idea that he can direct his learning by what it is that he is interested in. As we delve further into this homeschooling adventure, I am excited to see what twists & turns our education takes.
