The kids are getting more and more interested in delving into more concrete subjects and concepts. We sort of noticed it when Zhara started watching Through the Wormhole, a physics show on the Science channel, with Adam and I, and really enjoying it. She's always loved science, but she was getting really advanced theories of quantum mechanics, so I ordered this cool book -- Physics: Why Matter Matters, which, like all of Simon Basher's books, has a great super hero theme, and thus, a connective tissue for our unschool was born -- Super Heroes. I have since ordered more of his books, and we created a super hero chart for our own selves.
We are:
Me = Super Mom (look, I got wings)
Dad = Octo-Daddy (of the cephalopod variety, not the 8 kids kind)
Angus = Dino Man (not shocking!)
Zhara = Sunny (a superhero who was created by a small piece of the sun breaking off)
Wednesday = Super Pirate Butterfly Girl
We even made a poster for our physics stuff -- we rock!
