Re-starting Homeschool Agenda today. August 1st, falling on a Monday, early re-start of the season for us. I feel we’ve much to do, so starting up with a limited schedule, more “scheduled” than usual though, want to cover lots of material, make great forward movement. That’s the goal. Plus the goal is to have more [...]
Summer is fast approaching. It’s been a tough Spring around here. Our HVAC is out of order, no A/C all year, we’ve needed it since March. We are getting a new system installed in a couple of days, and that will unleash a new lease on life in homeschooling endeavors. I suffer in heat and [...]
I’ve been working with my two oldest to get them using blogs to write things about their schooling. It’s not always easy to get them doing things, and I figured this would help them. Well, it did and didn’t. One thing it did that is BAD is makes them think they can be on the [...]

Today begins a more full start of our home schooling. Having two eldest write a lot on computer. Need to get them at the kitchen table with paper, pencils, pens and have them work on a more artistic rendering of their handwriting, and get them more comfortable with a cursive version of writing.

Hopefully I can [...]
For us “schooling” never ends. Even when it’s not “official” of course. All life is education. I’ve been very slack with the children of late, but since the 4th of July is now past I’ll be ramping up more and more as the summer goes on. There’s much to catch up on since in 2007 [...]
I’ve been looking for the crayons I love to get for using in our Art Program (haven’t bought them for a very long time) and finally started looking online when I couldn’t find them in any brick stores. The manufacturers website doesn’t list them as discontinued, but there is talk of it on some other [...]
I bought an art program, via my homeschool coop (which is online) which is an online program itself. There is a list of products to buy to use for the program, but going to Michaels produced only a couple of things, and not the brand names asked for, and going to Staples, Target and Office [...]
