This week I've been planning for the school year. Some homeschool moms hate lesson planning but I love it. It's one of the things I look forward to every year. This next year will be a little different with 2 of my kids in formal school- a 1st grader and 3rd grader (from 1b and 1a). Quite a few of their classes they'll be doing together but others (like math and reading, etc.) they'll be doing separately. Generally, our family does Chinese history the 1st term, world history the 2nd term, and American history the 3rd term. One of the books I'm excited about is Animals of Asia for Kids. We're also going to try and make it a point to watch a few animal documentaries. We watched some before from time to time, but not regularly. I enjoy animal documentaries, esp. where they're working with endangered animals to save them. The picture below is at a park (on a super hot day!) earlier this month.
This blog highlights books and resources for learning about Chinese history and language for children. I hope it's also an encouragement for other homeschool families who are homeschooling bi-lingually or who want to add in some Chinese history into their homeschool.
