Homeschool Humor



How does a homeschool family change a lightbulb?



First, mom checks three books on electricity out of the library, then the kids make models of light bulbs, read a biography of Thomas Edison and do a skit based on his life.



Next, everyone studies the history of lighting methods, wrapping up with dipping their own candles.


Then, everyone takes a trip to the store where they compare types of light bulbs as well as prices and figure out how much change they'll get if they buy two bulbs for $1.99 and pay with a five dollar bill.


On the way home, a discussion develops over the history of money and also Abraham Lincoln, as his picture is on the five dollar bill.


Finally, after building a homemade ladder out of branches dragged from the woods, the light bulb is installed.


And there is light.

I am seriously dreaming of a day this perfect.

P.S.  If anyone has any questions about homeschool, ie: why, how, feel free to ask.  I am more than happy to answer any questions.
