Meet George. George prefers his history accurate, animals obscure, and costumes ornate. He has a wide streak of humor, a deep love of family, and a strong affinity for purple. He also has Tourette syndrome (primary: gross motor) and OCD. At the start of fourth grade we began exploring his love of learning at home. This website serves as an occasional showcase of what we cover. Thoughtful recommendations and reflections welcome.

Just Can't Wait (To Be King)
George and I jaunted down the road to Charlotte yesterday to see Disney's The Lion King at the Blumenthal Arts Center. It was... glorious...breathtaking. Words fail --- just see it if you ever have the chance.
We've put off starting full-on school until this coming Monday so that the boys' schedules will align more closely. (George's older brother is in public high school.) This was a good choice considering we were out until midnight last night, something we would not typically do on a school night.
This also gives me more time to plan out this year's trajectory. Even so I will generally spend between one and two hours every evening planning out the specifics of the next day and organizing the materials. I know it sounds goofy, but I'm excited to get going!

We saw it in Chicago a while back (or NYC; can't remember). It really is engaging, the music (even the altered music) and the Julie Taymor stuff. Such a treat!
