Mozart

Mozart's birthday is January 27th.

So we learned about him with my two-year old today.

Here is the lesson.

I showed her a picture of Mozart and asked her who it was.

I told her his name. We repeated it quite a few times.

Alisa was having a hard time with his gender. She kept calling Mozart a girl. I guess it's the hair.

Then I told her that Mozart was a composer and explained who the composer is.

I related the "writing music" part to the music she likes. I said that music to "I am a child of God" was written by a composer too.

Then we learned that Mozart was born in Austria and found it on the world map. We love Geography.

We also listened to his music (just a piano piece that I had on a CD). She couldn't handle the whole thing, but just a little bit is okay too.

The whole thing ended with a fun part - Baby Mozart.

Throughout the day we reviewed things that we learned.

1. Mozart

2. composer

3. Austria

Happy teaching, everybody!

Teaching - No greater call.

I know that there is nothing more important than teaching our children.

Teaching our children is not only about teaching them secular knowledge like math, reading, drawing, but also teaching them to become happy, compassionate, confident, kind, strong people, loyal friends, faithful spouses, honest citizens, and loving parents.

Sometimes, I get overwhelmed by the task on my plate, and those are the day that my hands fall down and I am not able to do anything.

However, when I prepared and plan ahead, I succeed and I couldn't be happier.

This blog is my attempt to get myself more organized.

I will post unit studies, crafts, activities, lessons, inspirational thoughts, book and magazine reviews.

Let the organized learning begin.
