As you can see from the sidebar, our projects list is sorely lacking at the moment. I cut back because we were involved in many outside activities last semester, but the pendulum is swinging yet again. The time is right to cut back on outside activities and look for more projects at home.
One possible project may involve Rick Riordan's The Lightning Thief. Landry loves this book, and I just found an interesting post at Suite101.com that gives some great leads for going further with it.
As I write this, however, I'm already starting to wonder how this will fit in terms of time with our boxed curriculum. I know the answer, though. It's not whether we complete the boxed curriculum. It's whether my sons are learning deeply and enjoying it.
