I did a ton of research in the last few weeks. I have printed of ideas that I can work from. Then I found a blank lesson plans, one that cover the week so you remember what you want to do that time, then there are subject & unit options.
With these I sat down with the a pile of books, picking through what I wanted to teach my son and what was just a repeat of what I had picked from already. Some books are headed back (to the library) and some are staying until we finish this UNIT lesson plan.
I have re-learned a bit about the middle ages that I forgot. I am find this actually a benefit to me. For the memory that I lost, there are some things I can recover ... but others I cannot. (but I can make new memories because I still have my family here)
So here I started on the middle ages ... boy oh boy did that about tire me out. Then to create the worksheets to go with the books, as well as extra lessons that my son has to use his brain to complete. (yea I know, evil mother ... oh well) I have gotten 1 week complete now I have to finish the rest. I am looking at some of this written and thinking "is this to much?" Then I go back and look over what I am assigning for the day, and it's really not that much. (hmm, may have to add a few fun worksheets on the middle ages ... will have to wait and see)
Now I am off to finish the rest of this unit lesson plan. It has been interesting tying in all the subjects. And some I still have to find a bit more work for, but right now I am impressed that I have gotten this far. I love seeing how others have covered this section, it gives me ideas. But it is a learning lesson when I go over all this myself, and create the activities or lessons myself.
Enjoy your day ... cause I am gonna enjoy mine!
