wy_kid_wrangler04 Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 My subjects are too easy. At the beginning of the year what we were doing was too hard. So somewhere along the way she learned :party: So any ideas how to give her more of a challenge?? (She is reading this saying PLEASE DONT MOM!!! PLEASE DONT!!)

Jen+4dc Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 How about a report (visual or paper or oral) on something she's interested in? Something related (or not) to what else you guys are doing? Something she can research and do mostly on her own? Is there something you just never have time for that she's always wanted to do? As I look at your siggy it looks like you're covering everything important so why not let her "play" for awhile? Just a thought!:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In2why Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 I think something really interesting is a great idea too....not fun or easy but interesting. Has she ever wanted to be a chef? Learn photography or videography? The life cycle of a rat? Something she can get her teeth into but is kid researched and executed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pam B Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Have her design a unit study for herself. Tell her what it needs to contain, and all that stuff. Maybe it can be on any topic she pleases, but it must include elements of math, history, science... blah blah.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wy_kid_wrangler04 Posted March 30, 2010 Author Share Posted March 30, 2010 OK So I have kinda combined all suggestions. She is going to choose a topic related to either science or history, something she doesnt know alot about, or doesnt know anything about and she is going to research it. (wk1) then wk2 she is going to design a DETAILED project that shows me how much she learned about what she researched. (she has to get the topic ok'ed by me first!) and she loves this idea! Her first project will be researching fort Necessity and she is going to make a scale model of it next week! Thanks for the ideas! We are both very excited about this!

My kids have been doing Visual Presentations for 4H the past two years, and their projects are very much like this. They love doing them! One of my dds did Machu Picchu this year and made a scale model. Fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
