Friday, June 24, 2011. Summer School and First Summer Field Trip. The crowds were unbelievable at The Henry Ford Museum on June 21, 2011. We had hoped to view the Emancipation Proclamation in person. It was not to be as the lines continued to stretch from a 4 to 5 hour wait to nearly 8 hours. We did enjoy viewing some of the other exhibits and the best part was it was our first field trip of the summer and it was FREE! The Kids especially enjoyed folding and launching paper airplanes. B is for Battle Cry.

Government knew this in the 19th century when it forced Native American children into government boarding schools.

Tuesday, September 6, 2011. Here is a link to our family blog where I documented their favorite home school of the summer. Tuesday, August 10, 2010. I was originally going to do this in two sessions. One on atoms, molecules and bonds. But we ran out of time this summer. So I sort of lumped them together. We focused mainly on electricity. Volts, amps, and watts.
