An aha moment

Post by blessedmomof4 » Fri Feb 29, 2008 10:00 pm

We were watching "Who Wants to be a Millionaire", and one of the questions was, "Which of the following Native Americans famously visited King James I" The choices were Massasoit, Pocahontas, Sacagawea, and Sitting Bull. The contestant phoned a friend, who didn't know. The contestant quit because he didn't know. Too bad he didn't ask my 3rd and 4th graders, who instantly said "Pocahontas, of course-we read about it." :D

Lourdes,

Isn't that the truth! My kiddos have soaked up so much more history knowledge than I ever had in all of my school years, and I was considered to be an excellent student.

I quickly realized when my oldest son and I started in on his first grade history (and I was reading things I'd never heard before) how much I had missed! :wink:

I have so many AHA moments now. That must be why researching history has become my insatiable passion! 8)

Blessings,
Carrie

Too cute! I know that made you feel so good about how much they're learning---too bad though for the person on the show---they could have used some help from the HOD kids!! :lol:
Moving along at our own pace, and very happy with it!

I'm cracking up! :lol: Apparently none of them watched Pocahontas II....the very "historically accurate" Disney version! I think my kiddos would've got that one just from seeing the movie. :wink:

My dd's LOVE Pocahontas and are sooo excited that we will be studying that next week in LIttle Hearts. After all their confusion with Martin Luther, this week should be easier. :roll:
