I can't count how many times we need to pause a movie because of discussion. <br /><br />What I also love about homeschooling too. They get time to connect the dots instead of having information crammed in their heads to pass a test. :) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1403012288289020503.post-52273313670285914662014-02-12T00:19:54.379+11:002014-02-12T00:19:54.379+11:00That's very much how we do history too: read, ...That's very much how we do history too: read, discuss, write, watch a video. We also do timelines to have a clearer picture of the order of events. It's my favorite subject, so we often spend entire afternoons on it. And we use YouTube a lot. I've seen the Crash Course channel, but am saving it for when he's more your kids' ages. I mostly look for History Channel and BBC documentaries.Gabrielahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11009468362041053140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1403012288289020503.post-39939642653003237142014-02-08T21:49:40.745+11:002014-02-08T21:49:40.745+11:00Glad you got some new stationery fun ;-)

My 8 and 10 year olds love Crash Course history too, though of course they're still a BIT young for full appreciation. We watch single episodes relating to what we've been learning about. Funnily enough the first one we watched was about the Mongols (if you've seen a few I'm sure you get why that's funny). <br />I'm enjoying reading about what a great start to the new year you guys are making. :-) Lucindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06165136384071830629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1403012288289020503.post-12647328556765642332014-02-05T21:30:47.178+11:002014-02-05T21:30:47.178+11:00I feel like I could watch them a few times too - t...I feel like I could watch them a few times too - they go too fast for my brain!

My girls BOTH LOVE IT too ... I confess I have to watch it a couple of times to catch up ... lol And then I need to re-explain some of the puns and jokes, so we re-watch it again. Yes easy to lose an hour or two with those crazy fast talking Americans on it. Don't you love that even though John is an adult his former history teacher is involved with the making of them too ... I found that kinda special.Multi-tasking Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07824304337746456198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1403012288289020503.post-19904441384563649272014-02-04T17:19:03.910+11:002014-02-04T17:19:03.910+11:00Love, love, love moments like this!
