Our Astronomy curriculum (and home schooling in general) is still a huge success! You might wonder what criteria I used to label it a success. Well, do tears, begging, and an all out temper tantrum when told we will do Astronomy tomorrow qualify it as a success in your book? It does in mine!
I have personally just finished a very exhausting week of nursing school. In Michigan, public schools can not begin until after Labor Day. Since I knew this first week would be grueling for me, I decided this was a very good idea for our home school too. Plus, what kid wouldn't want to wait a week for school to begin? Well, I found one kid who did not think this was a good idea...Faith. Since I did not have a structured week planned for her I let her choose. Her curriculum of choice was Astronomy. This week we learned about Venus, Earth, and the moon. :)
My week was a huge success in so many ways. One of the biggest...my 6-year-old who "hated" school has in this past week read me a book, recited facts learned weeks earlier about our universe, and stated in awe, "God made our planet perfect for us to live on!" Yes...a huge success...
