Our homeschool cirriculum is from a company called Sonlight. Bryce loves it! Reading the History/Geography and Science is his motivation to get his Math and Language Arts done. Every once in a while we get that WOW moment of confirmation. And yesterday, we got one.
Newman's dad was visiting while the kids were playing. Aubree got out her Wiki sticks and Bryce started playing with her. They went into the kitchen where we couldn't see them. Then, Bryce asked Aubree if she wanted to do a "little play" for PawPaw. They made little Chinese coins and strung them on a string made from the Wiki Sticks. They pretended Bryce (Little Pear) was buying a tang-hulur from Aubree the shopkeeper. They even made two tang-hulurs (candy on a stick). They exchanged the coins for the candy and played on and on. Later, I explained to Newman where it all had come from. One of Bryce's Read-Aloud books that we just finished was called Little Pear. It's about a little Chinese boy who gets into a lot of mischeif and the books teaches some Chinese customs, etc. It was a cute book that kept Bryce's attention. Newman said he appreciated the explanation and could now better understand what exactly the kids were doing.
And I forgot to take a picture...Can you believe it??
