Preparing Unit 2 day 1 - she got the point, but...

her answer cracked me up!
For research we looked up another ancient culture with a worldwide flood story and talked about the differences between the stories, but how the fact that many ancient cultures have a story like this indicates that maybe it really happened (even though the stories got changed over the years, and God's Word does not change).
The question I think was "How does the fact that many cultures have a flood story indicate that it might be true?" Her answer "it doesn't." "Why not?" "Because only God's Word is true and God says it so it is true."
I think she may have missed the point about thinking critically to find out what is true....
I guess I am happy with that answer though.
I was going to keep going 1/2 speed this week but I think last Friday I had told her we were going to speed it up a little and she was all determined to do so, so we did 8 of the 10 boxes and it went really well! I even fit in LHTH and Beyond and my 1YO scribbled with markers and crayons and ate a whole big candy cane. It was really a great day school-wise, though I now have a lot of housework catch up to do.

If she knows this, she already knows the most important thing about research she can know! Go to the Bible for accurate answers, always - even in research. Smart gal! 
HOORAY!
