And I admire them greatly.
Its not for me. As much as I love my children, I have none of the time, patience or desire. But its amazing to watch how many everyday activities can be turned into fun, educational experiences. Which is probably why I thought this was so funny. And true.
How Does A Homeschool Mom Change A Lightbulb?
Answer:
First, she takes the kids to the library and checks out three books on electricity. Then the kids make papiermache’ light bulbs, read a biography of Thomas Edison and do a skit based on his life. Next, the family studiesthe history of lighting methods, wrapping up with dipping their own candles. After that, everyone takes a trip to the store here they compare types of light bulbs as well as prices and figure out how much change they’ll get if they buy two bulbs for $1.99 and pay with a five dollar bill. On the way home, a discussion develops over the history of money and also Abraham Lincoln, since his picture is on the five dollar bill. Finally, after building a homemade ladder out of branches dragged from the woods, the light bulb is installed. And there is light.
