SEPT: Eureka Vanguard Inspirements

I decided to use this blog for the weekly Inspirements for my Vanguard kids at home so these will be posted pretty regularly on this blog...

EUREKA!!

Diligence Leads to True Happiness

Week 3:

KNOWLEDGE: Consider the role of "diligence" as you study the following:

-Find a cool article on Astronomy in one of our books! (The Math Book, etc.)  Come prepared to share it.

-Find a "It's Okay To Be Smart" or similar short clip about Astronomy/Space and come prepared to share it.

-Read Chapter 2 of "Story of Science: Newton at the Center" by Hakim

-Watch this:

-Read Abraham Ch. 3

UNDERSTANDING: “Do”:

-Make a model or draw a picture of something you learned about this week

-Teach a class to younger kids about a concept you learned about using a prezi, visuals or activities

-Pretend that you are in the Middle Ages: which discovery would you want to have made and why?  Create a poem, prezi, song, skit or paper that shares your "experience of discovery" with us.

-Make a song or poem about something else that struck you in your studies this week

-Write a report on something you learned about and take your writing to a new level!  Ask mom how you can do this :D!

BECOME: “Be”

-Based upon what you learned this week, re-evaluate your goals and think of a way that you can commit to being more diligent.
