I promised that as part of our School at Home, I would create a blog for Sarah. This is our attempt and we'll do our best to keep it maintained and up to date.
These are a few videos that are also similar to ones that we've watched through last school year and plan to continue this year. Some have been more effective than others, but all around, we've learned a lot.
Word Girl is a pretty cute cartoon; however it's mainly used as a brain break between hard lessons if Sarah needs a change.
We did our own segment on the planets, studied SETI and other ideas of the universe, including extraterrestrial life, UFOs and got the chance to watch some movies which were fictional, but included themes like UFOs, aliens and had the opportunity to discuss them. I won't mention what we watched to be able to give each individual the chance to pick their own favorites for their needs and structure and personal style.
We watch both amazing and interesting and amusing cartoons, cartoons that have been made out of books, old cartoons and black and white segments, movies, and historical accounts, movies, scientific segments and anything that can get the mind working and can find accompanying worksheets for correlation and review. We go back with both math and concepts and words, vocabulary, sentences, books, reading, poems, review and other concepts to make it memorable and fun.....sometimes our days seem harrowing and difficult; however Sarah makes it through them and stays awake. Sometimes she needs a few minutes for a nap (which is normal). I count these blog moments as our extra-curricular school project that was started a bit late; but we did figure it out.
