Making Fridays Fun

On Fridays we usually have a lot of errands to run. We tried in the begining to stick with our regular schedule for Friday's but it just didn't work. We were all pulling our hair out trying to get everything accomplished in the day. So we established "Fun Fridays".

On Friday's the kids get to do a project on any subject they choose. Today they chose Dragonball Z and Adam Sandler. They each watched a movie on the subject. Then later this evening we will look up historical information on each subject. Like, when Adam Sandler was born, what other historical events happened in that year. What state was he born in? What is the capital and major industries if that state?

My oldest son loves art so he will probably make a collage(one of his favorite things to do) about everything he looks up. It's a fun way to spend a Friday and gives the kids and me a break. They're still learning. Usually they find another topics they want to research further.
