I do not believe a week has gone by already. I think that's insane! One of my teachers stopped me in carline today, which is what we do at the end of the day to pick up: the cars get into two long lines and the teachers call the students up and we get into our car. Anyways, my former 3rd grade teacher told me as we were getting into the car, "I heard you're not coming back next year. I'm going to be really sad! Where are you going?" I told her that Mom's homeschooling me, and she said, "Oh, that's interesting." What's so bad about it? She sounded disappointed, I guess--like she maybe thought it was because we didn't like my school. We LOVE my school, but the tuition's really expensive and my mother wanted to try it.
On the topic of school, this week we started a unit on ancient China in our history class. The first section is on the geography, which is usually the most boring section, but China's geography is pretty neat. They have the Gobi Desert and the Himalayas, with the Huang He river (among others) and the lush, wetter southern part of the country. We learned that the earliest, or neolithic, Chinese setters grew wheat and millet in the northeastern regions and rice in the south. I think this'll be a really cool unit. I'll go more into detail about our history class and the China unit later this weekend, because if I don't get off the computer now, I won't get dinner, because Mom's recipe is on here.
Happy Homeschooling!
