[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, thanks for all the discussion.  To those who augment at home, how do you do it?  One poster mentioned great resources here in our area... what are those?  Thanks![/quote]

That was me.  Goodness.  We have such great things in the area.  Museums, historic sites, libraries, nature centers and so on.  Explore.  Don't underestimate your kid.  We explore and learn what we want.  For example, I took her to Fords Theater on day in the  summer.  Before hand, we got books out about Lincoln from the library - picture books but there are a variety available.  Then we went to Lincoln's cottage.

Don't not do something because you think your kid won't understand, but explain it, get on their level, have fun with it, and ask your kid questions (what do you think that was for?  What do you think it would be like if your whole family slept in one room?)  The art museums are fun for kids, and sometimes they even have kid/family tours.  Take advantage of it, and read biographies of the artists before hand (again, the library)  It makes the art more interesting when your kid understands the history of the time it was made and a bit about the artist.

Follow your nose...  Don't assume your kids won't like it.  [/quote]
