some changes

Lately there are some changes in our homeschool -
.
1. I made XP plan out her weekly schedule.
(she doesn't like it, but I think she needs to learn this)
.
2. We use videos almost everyday.
(XP learns better by watching videos, I downloaded documentaries from Youtube
and science/mathematic videos from Khan Academy)
.
3. Chores, music and art are as important as school.
(no excuses like "I am reading" when asked to do chores)
.
4. One notebooking page every school day.
(learns to jot down notes while reading or watching videos
and later put them into paragraphs)
.
5. Learn only ONE subject at a time.
(for example:
in one week we read the chapter on gases in The World of Chemistry,
watched videos The Discovery of Elements,
and did notebooking pages on Cavendish, Rutherford, Priestly and Berzelius;
the following week we did The Mycenaen Culture)
.
