We went to our local children's theater again this Sunday to see the play Click Clack Moo. It was funny watching the animals work themselves into a frenzy over Farmer Brown's "tyranny"!
My youngest children just enjoyed the music and dancing, but my oldest learned about strikes, picket lines, negotiations and neutral parties.
Our children don't have to learn everything from the pages of boring textbooks. Children's books and plays provide us with wonderful teaching opportunities.
We learned a great deal about the election process by reading Click Clack Moo's sequel, Duck for President. Here are some additional ideas for homeschooling history.

Sounds like you've got things going well for your family. My children learn so much more with hands on activities, and they remember it for longer. Love the picture of your sleeping cherub!
