elise1mds Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Science, which is really weird because I hated science going through school. But I love watching my son get so excited about it, which makes me excited, and thus the cycle continues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yslek Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Our non-core subjects. :D Especially history and science. Oddly enough, those were some of my weakest subjects in school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunflowerlady Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Mostly I enjoy real life learning and "life skills". I enjoy teaching my daughter to cook and clean , to care for a garden and animals, to do handicrafts and such. As far as the traditional subjects go, I like English. In school, I was very good at grammar and reading. Dd seems to take after me, so English is a subject I enjoy. I am not certain I can say that it "excites" me :lol:, but I do enjoy it. I even like diagramming sentences. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali in OR Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I love teaching (and learning too), so all subjects are at least mildly interesting. I'm a math teacher by trade so that is easy, but the one I ENJOY the most is definitely history! We just read great books and enjoy learning the story of the world.

angela&4boys Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 History! The very subject I deplored in school is now my favorite. I love to see how we came to be by connecting the dots of time, if you will. Personally, it's been such a faith-affirming journey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragons in the flower bed Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Latin and Greek and literature all make me quiver with excitement, but I couldn't say which the more. I love the connections. Science and history can do that, too, a little, but not always, and not so much via Story of the World. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterPan Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 The only one my dd doesn't love: foreign languages. Close 2nd would be grammar, which again she doesn't like. I got us into Tolerate land with Shurley, so that's where we stay. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElizabethB Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Phonics! My remedial students are particularly rewarding, when they finally start to enjoy reading and be able to read a book. Also, they generally start to improve in other subjects in school as well, their self-confidence improves, it's just amazing to watch the change. Of course, I'd rather the schools quit using sight words and just taught everyone to read with phonics so I'd have no more remedial students, but it is an amazing change and you get a great feeling of accomplishment that you've really impacted their life. I've enjoyed teaching my daughter phonics too, but it was more of a gradual process, you don't get as much reward in as little time. Overall, I enjoy learning new things, and I'm happy to learn things I didn't know before--so far that's just been history and science. My husband also likes to hear when I learn a new thing, and often he doesn't know them, either! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommy22alyns Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Science is exciting for me now because we're working on the human body. Luckily, Becca is just as excited about it. I was never a history fan, but I'm pretty excited about it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElizabethB Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 I was never a history fan, but I'm pretty excited about it now. :iagree: Textbooks killed history for me. I read widely, and read about every subject. But, I didn't read any history for years after being out of school. After finding some good narrative style history books and books that studied history from interesting, analytical viewpoints (Sowell's Culture series, Strauss and Howe's Gererations, Hobhouse's Seeds of Change and David Hackett Fisher's Albion's Seed), I have now learned to enjoy history and am enjoying looking for chronological connections and progressions.

lionfamily1999 Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Latin... Oh, but I enjoy History too.... Oh, and Science, I LOVE Science! Even Grammar has its own rewards, hearing him recite poetry is very satisfying... Oh, and Cursive, that's been great fun, it's like a 'coming of age' moment in our day, Andrew understands 'grown-up writing.' But, mostly Latin :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyAberlin Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Okay I love all subjects. the only time I don't like them is when they aren't going well. Right now the ones I like the least are handwriting and phonics. Hopefully when I get my box from RR on friday it will make me enjoy those again!

Matryoshka Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 History (love it!) and grammar (grammar geek - this is the first year I've actually taught it as a subject - before this it's been pretty extemporaneous), and actually - I'm liking teaching math more and more! Figures, just as I'm getting really comfy with Singapore and they way they teach, we'll soon be falling off the end of Primary math (we're in 5B) and into unknown territory with upper-level math...

patchfire Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 science and math.

Sunshine State Sue Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Math, for sure. I wanted to be a math teacher when I was in elementary school (private). I changed my mind when I got to public high school and saw how the teachers were treated. Now, I get to be a math teacher. English grammar is fun too. History, back when we were doing SOTW. Those were the days... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveBaby Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I really, really love sharing awesome books with the kids. We're working our way through the Narnia books right now and it's awesome to see them loving them as much as I did growing up. Math is the bane of my homeschooling existence and we are loving history using the d'aulaire books! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HSMom2One Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 After art, I'd have to say I love to teach history, writing and read aloud literature. I am an art teacher by profession, but don't seem to fit it in at home as much as I should...still love it though. And its a natural fit to add history and literature to the visual arts.

Haiku Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 History. It's always been my favorite thing, since I was a kid. I love history, my kids love history, and it's the central focus of our homeschool. In my opinion, if you don't understand/appreciate the story of humanity, very little else matters. Also, and oddly, math. I always hated math and felt like it was a series of rules to follow. Using RightStart has shown me that that's not at all what math is about. I'm excited about the math discoveries I'm making, not to mention those of my kids! Tara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apCrazy4Jesus Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 We have so much fun in these subjects and the kids love them so much. Math is good (but I am still in the Arithmetic stage, I think that will change when I get to the higher level math). I wish I could pair up with the mom who loves Grammer, Latin and Writing.

tajott Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I love learning new things,,,any new things! but mostly history, cultural anthropology, life science, and especially the hebrew roots of my faith...ummm, I guess that would be more history and anthropology.

elegantlion Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Latin, really any languages. We are adding Greek next year and have touched on Spanish and French as well. Geography and music.

Sunshyne Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I really do like. it. all. Yet, if I had to choose, I would say that I really enjoy teaching Math and History the most.
