Today Keith read more to the kids about California history. They started to study the history of San Jose, which was founded in 1777. San Jose is an industrial city about 50 miles south of San Francisco. Cimeron and Aaron remember going to the Discovery Children's Museum there a few times when we were living in the Bay Area. Keith is trying to join the study of the Street Law book with the study of California history with the hopes of encouraging good citizenship in the children.

Cimeron did a page in her spelling book and a grammar lesson. Aaron did a spelling workbook page and spent time reading out loud for Keith. No math today, but I took time to prepare interesting math lessons for tomorrow.

Cimeron is busy cleaning her room. She's doing a great job eliminating all the mess that was piled up behind her bed, so I'm encouraging that while the inspiration is with her!

Yesterday I went to the library and got some books for homeschooling. I got a book on attracting birds to the yard, and building bird houses and sanctuaries. Another book is a handbook of the Klamath River Valley (where we live). I got a book for Cimeron on different kinds of hairstyles - she's getting to the age where that will hold her interest... she actually wants to look better and has wonderful long, wavy hair to work with. I got a Christmas Caroling book, and we're going to start singing these every schoolday, to teach some new songs to the kids. Also I got a video about the Donner Party. We all watched that last night (sad one - from PBS)... I had seen it before. A few years ago the kids and I visited the Donner Lake State Park and actually saw where some of the cabins had been.
