Today I was learning a little bit about how the Beck kids go to school. They have school in their house. Its called Homeschool. Some of their subjects are on the computer and some their mom teaches them. They learn about all kinds of things. Trinity and Charidy have Math, Science, Language Arts, Spanish and History online. They get worksheets to do on the presidents of the United States and also they study the Bible. Sarie and AJ have school online too. Then they do worksheets that helps them write and also Bible stories. Can you believe that all the kids have never been to a public school ever?!!!
For PE or gym class they do fun activities outside when it is nice or they play Wii sports when it is too cold to play outside. At lunch time their mom makes them their lunch. Some days Trinity makes sandwiches for everyone. They like to go to museums and even do really cool science experiments.
This week they are learning about the Depression era from the American Girl movie Kit Kittridge. They also are going to learn about volcanoes by making one. They even watched a Dolphin tale and learned all about sharks and dolphins and science! It was cool. Movies arent always how they learn. In fact their mom just let them watch those two movies to do the worksheets with them usually they do some online classes and worksheets and work books.
One day they all made bouncy balls. The girls learn math, fractions and division and measuring just from cooking. They don't usually do school all day long either. Some times it doesnt start for the older kids until the younger kids are down for a nap. It seems like a lot of hard work but super fun. I am learning so much here!
Have a great day!
