This has been our first week of HOME SCHOOL!
It has been wonderful!
One of the Subjects I have wanted to teach my kids is American History!
I ordered this little book called...
American History Stories You Never Read In School But Should
After all their curriculum is done, then we sit on the couch together and read about our American History!
The kids love it....I love it!
Monday we read about what caused the Revolution....
Taxation without Representation!
and about the unfair Stamp Act!

When Dad got home from work, I heard the girls tell him that they were going to tax him 10 cents every time he said "the" or "and".Of course he was confused...
"What do I get" - Dad
"Nothing" - Girls
"This is not fair" - Dad
"It is just how it is "- Girls
"Do I have any say?" - Dad
"NO" - Girls
As his marks continued to go up... he started to "rebel", and not talk....
After they got 10 marks, and had each earned a dollar, they explained ....
Taxation without Representation
I was very impressed the way they acted out what we had learned in their own way....
How they put themselves as England...and Dad as the Colonies!
I could tell that Dad knew something was up...and he played along perfectly!
This was as much fun for me as it was for them!

Sounds like a great first week! Keep up the good work. I just shared your story about the girls charging for the words with my hubby. It made us smile. Very clever on their part! They are listening and learning and ENJOYING! Kerri
So cute!!
So glad you had a great first week of school!
This is awesome! Way to go dad.
What a wonderful way to learn history! I am going to have to find that book. I have been looking for something just like that for my family to study history. Thanks so much for posting it.
This is great. I wish history was this much fun for me in school!
GREAT IDEA. MY KIDS JUST PULL THEIR TEETH TO TRY AND GET MONEY. KENZ HAS PULLED 4 IN THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS. THEY ARE LOOSE FIRST, BUT I DO KID AROUND THAT THEY ARE DOING IT ON PURPOSE TO EXPLOIT THE TOOTH FAIRY.
Great application of a lesson!!!
