My musings on our homeschool, coop, figuring out what my educational philosophy is anyway, and will I ever make curtains for the rest of the appartment?
Last week Dan comforted me when I sighed at my crowded craft desk, “That just means it’s spring.” Co-op re-starts at the same time Jr F.I.R.S.T. Lego starts, and our weekends become SO crowded. At least the house stays picked Continue reading Rememebering March
There is a certain confusion each morning as I remember the story of yesterday. This morning M and K were a little on edge, and I was extra tired, like I’d been walking on concrete. I printed out my map Continue reading Where were we?
We are still adjusting to the idea of staying home from crafts, food, music and friends – the last part is what the boys most enjoyed, though I’m sure the food was a big part too. Dan heard me coughing Continue reading Not going to the Fair.
That day B went to the aquarium with DH? The rest of us tried to have a regular school day. Funny, it turns out that having B along means that things really run smoother, who knew? It was 11:30 AM, Continue reading {pfhr} Chilly Picnic
Last year when I was moaning about the time change throwing me, my friend Annie said she’d put her kids to bed 6 minutes later each night to get them used to it the week before. I thought I’d try Continue reading Time change Ameliorations
I must have yelled at my children a lot today; because my throat is sore right now. It was a graceless, awful morning, full of words like, “Yes, I am sorry that I disciplined you in anger, but you still Continue reading Cranberry Buckle: because at least that came out as hoped, unlike my morning.
It’s getting harder to find activities we can all do together as a homeschool. B moves so fast, with so much homework, that I feel like he’s always zooming out of the frame, even when he’s not on a Continue reading {pfhr} Dancing Sharks
We check up on M’s eyes today – and since the eye doctor’s office is near the Border’s close out sale, I don’t think I’m leaving B at home to finish assignments. Which makes the morning seem sort of optional, Continue reading Appointment Day
Yesterday K and her friend G tested new toys at the Hasboro Fun Lab. Afterwards, we took our bag of free toys to the car, and drove to Slater Park to climb the structures together. K and G have a Continue reading Game Face
My family finished up last year’s homeschool two weeks ago. Saturday was the Family Fun Fair at church, and a week ago yesterday the kids and I started organising the house. I have all my homeschool paper work filed with Continue reading Carnival of Homeschooling, the Tell Me Summer isn’t Almost Over Edition
Yesterday, I got totally distracted by my own projects, looked up at the clock, and realised that it was time to make supper, and the kids had been watching videos all afternoon. Bad Mom. But I have only one thing Continue reading Phew, we did do some math
This morning we took a lesson at Simon Says in Rehoboth. I only got lost twice on the way. If more than half of the roads had a label, it might have been more. K was not at all sure Continue reading {pretty, funny, happy, real}
