Just curious what you do for at home learning...
My question is how do I channel this excitement and enthusiasm? Should I just let him discover it on his own and leave it at that? Should we work on small projects, what kinds? Do a bit of research? Let him pick a couple of "Gods" and learn more about them? I absolutely love that he loves to learn about so much stuff, should I let him hold the cards and decide what he would like to do?
I don't want to turn him off by making it too "school like".
I like to follow my children's lead. If they express an interest in something. I might get a book or two from the library and leave it on the book table. It's totally up to them to pick it up or not. This puts the child in charge of the learning. Here's another example, My DD was enjoying learning about space at school. I noticed the library had a program and asked if she was interested? I go to garage sales and get books for 50 cents and put them on a home book shelf. I keep a variety of fiction and reference book. One way to encourage an interest is to start doing something like an art project. If my children have an interest they can join in and do their own. I can't take credit for all this, as this forum has helped me with these tips that can be applied to any subject.
