Sometimes you miss the mark
and sometimes you hit the mark.
Sometimes you fall short of a goal and sometimes you hit the goal.
I usually aim to finish our first social studies unit before Christmas. Imagine my surprise when I realized we were going to finish our Elections unit on Election Day.
I believe the shocked emoji would be appropriate here.
I've long been a fan of Homeschool In the Woods' lapbook units. The Time Travelers and Project Passport series have been some of our most favorite history projects.
This Election unit did not disappoint!
As you can see, Blossom1 and Blossom1 have graduated out of these history units. We are a little sad about that, but we've used this time for them to perform in-depth study of the controversial concept of the separation of church and state. They finished Original Intent by David Barton and are working on composing their thoughts on that book. We are also utilizing the Constitution Alive series by Wallbuilders.
All in all, it's been a rich and rewarding Civics and Government kind of experience here in the Hollow lately.
