    We do a little bit of after-school enrichment at home with DD6. Usually one challenging word problem a day, and then this year a focus on ancient history. We are using Story of the a World as a starting point, but spend most of our time with the books in the recommended resource list.

    We keep it casual. For example, yesterday we read two stories that featured the Nile River (to coincide with one of the Egyptian chapters in SOTW). They both had Nile crocodiles in them, which prompted DD to look up more about them. When she read that they were the 2nd largest extant reptile, she had to find out what the largest reptile is (saltwater crocodile). And so on.

    So yes we do go down rabbit holes, but I am okay with that. smile

    We also supplement Spanish. Right now, she likes Duolingo.
