Homeschooling last week was a blur. A couple of highlights include studying about Vermont (I am planning to see a puppet show by my students tomorrow to tell what they've learned) and we started our Story of the World book. The kids thought about historians and archaeologists. We made some "treasure stones" from Kid Concoctions as a hands on archaeological type activity. Our drama club started and the Lego league transferred their equipment to their practice site.
Over the weekend we went with our church to Hidden Acres camp. It was great fun. The kids went swimming, hiking, zip lining, and horse riding. It was beautiful weather.
In preparation for the trip I looked at the library for something to read. I picked up a book on parenting daughters. It is written by a couple from a distinctly feminist point of view, so I've had to read with my filter on. It has given me a little food for thought, but so far I have not gleaned much for parenting. We'll see if it gets better.
Have you read any great books on parenting daughters? (Please do not recommend Dr. Dobson's book. I've read it and was not wowed.) And I'd prefer something with more of a focus on younger girls--it'll be awhile before my girls are teens. As far as I can tell there is a real lack of material on this topic. At least the Lord promises us wisdom when we ask...that's a promise to depend on when it comes to parenting or homeschooling, or pretty much anything else I guess.
