The answer is SCIENCE. I am not sure why. Well, actually I am sure why - but it is scary to admit it. I dislike (I refuse to use the word hate here), dislike immensly science ! There is such a bad taste left in my mouth from science in school ! I had teachers who were boring and frankly I never understood most of it. I bribed my chemistry teacher daily with bagels from Phil's on Miami Beach. My biology teacher was a 22 year old newly graduated teacher and athletics coach at our high school. And I really don't remember science prior to high school. As I said.... it just doesn't appeal to me.
With that said, I am trying to turn a new leaf. I am working HARD to be consistent with science for Shayna's sake. We found a GREAT curriculum that is EASY enough for me to follow. It is called REAL SCIENCE FOR KIDS by RW Keller. We are currently using the Biology portion. We are on chapter two (out of ten) so we have certainly worked on it. It has experiments, it is colorful and she is certainly catching on quickly. I might have her review a bit to much !
I will say that I am working HARD on my attitude since we found a great curriculum and I have NO REASON to avoid science. I am even learning a bit myself :).
