A is for America - Blogging Through the Alphabet

-

We have lived in the United States for a long time. However hopefully soon we will make it official and become Citizens . In May we will be having our Citizenship interviews and we are very excited.

Did you know that you have to take a test to become a Citizen? We have been studying for the last few weeks along with the kids. Although they are Citizens (they were born here) and don't have to take the test. My husband and I thought it would be a great idea to have them learn the 100 questions right alongside us.

Have you ever read the questions. I would be interested to know how many you know (without studying) I knew a lot of them - I know I surprised myself but there were still some I had to work on.


I am linking up with Ben and Me for her new round of ABC Blogging.

    That was a great review of Government for me (the video). :) Congratulations on becoming "official" citizens!

    I think it is wonderful that the kids are learning beside you. It gives them a visual of what it is all about. Good Luck to you and your husband on the test.

    May is an exciting month for you! I think it is great that you included the kids in studying for the citizenship, as it will mean so much more to them. I appreciated the video you included. Much there to help us all study our government. - Lori

The Ultimate Blog Party #UBP13

This is my first time participating in this blog party so I am kind of nervous... You know the walk into a room and not knowing any one kind. I am originally from England and have lived in the States for the last 14 years. My husband is also from England and so although out children were all born here. They still have some strange British quirks, eat British food, and pronounce things in different ways - yes my boys are cowboy boot wearing Americans through and through. The hats normally only come out for Halloween though. We starting homeschooling about two years ago when Jam was starting 5th grade and Boo 3rd. We love it. At the time we had chickens and bunnies - however we recently gave them to a friend who has a farm since we are trying to relocate closer to my husbands work. (He commutes an hour each way.) So my blog name makes me chuckle it should now be Homeschool but NO chickens and bunnies. I am excited to meet new friends. Leave me a comment to say Hi. ...
