Today’s homeschooling went rather well I think. Early in the
morning my thirteen-year-old and I worked on his Hebrew and Aleph-Bet studies and made good
progress. First of all, I prepared breakfast for the both of us. Everyone else
was still sleeping with the exception of one of his brothers (my early bird).
This was a good thing, since he had all my attention and no distractions. He
was actually reading and understanding the story Yesh Lanu Llama a Hebrew story book we
bought for my older kids some years ago. About a week ago, He took a day to
learn all the letters of the Aleph-Bet. Today, we worked on combining the
sounds and actually reading a few short paragraphs. We were both so happy to
see what a little effort in study can accomplish. For anyone wishing or better
yet, planning to study conversational Hebrew; I highly recommend using the
lesson books Hebrew & Heritage Modern Language 1-4 published by Behrman House. I used them with my older
children and found them to be an excellent course for the subject.
later in the day, after my kids had finished with their regular schooling, I worked with my other son on a project he'd been anxiously waiting to work on. Except for loosening a few screws, I mostly watched as my son took apart an old computer monitor. You see, I love books. So, one day when I stopped by a store on my way home, we found a really neat book.
We had a few old computers that we needed to get rid off, so, voila! Here's how it all went.
And lastly, the final product is seen here.
