LibraryMama, that sounds like plain old Home Ec to me. happy0203.gif

I think it would certainly be a home ec, but if you're needing another title for the records...

Emergency Management Skills with Basic First Aide?

Life Skills 101? smile.gif

Disaster Survival / Home Safety?

Primitive Living Skills?

All great ideas! I suppose we'll see what direction this particular course takes & name it after the fact.

Do y'all school year-round? I did more unschooling with my son, but my daughter wants more structure. She started today so she'd have a few extra free days throughout the year & it took her forever to finish! Don't know if I scheduled too much or if she was just pokey, since I had to work today & her dad was out mowing.
We'll get it worked out.

Hope your week is off to a great start!

We pretty much go year round, but do have an official start of the 'new year' , which is right about now. <img src="http://mrssurvival.c...IR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

My girls like more structure too, that's interesting. Finally I just bought some workbooks so they could 'feel' like they were 'doing' school, and it didn't hurt anything. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

Hi all!! We haven't posted on this thread for a while, I thought I'd give it a little bump.

With the tornadoes of last week and the OBL death. we've been doing a LOT of CURRENT AFFAIRS.

We've read personal accounts written by tornado survivors. This has led to some great discussion, prayer and investigations.

I'm in the process of reviewing the 9-11 tragedy as 5 of my children are too young to remember that terrible day. I feel they have to know about terrorism to understand why everyone is talking about Bin Laden.

What have you taught your children lately?? :)
