Family Phil: Spokane Built By … Vikings?!

My son and I cover so many topics of learning in any given week of homeschooling, it’s hard to know just what sticks in his brain and what doesn’t. Today we were driving into Spokane when my son said, “The people who built this city must like the Vikings. There are two streets back there named Thor and Freya.” We had studied Norse myths several months ago in a brief literature unit. It does a teacher’s heart good to know that his student is actually paying attention! — Family Phil /A Family Runs Through It.
