I have been waiting to have something spectacular to write. Still waiting. :) In January we have been really hitting the homeschooling hard. Maggie finished up her vocabulary and spelling units for the year. Now we are concentrating on harder subjects. Jacob is doing mid term tests this week. He has his spanish today...say a prayer...
Steve is doing great with his weight loss plans and has lost over 40 pounds to date. I am very proud of his efforts. I on the other hand...lose 2 gain 3 lose 3 gain 1...etc. I am not getting anywhere. Trying would probably help my situation?
Doug and Curt are still determined to stay in "regular" school. We tease them and try to entice them, but its a no go.
I am worried about grades for both of them. I think things get glossed over and once you miss something you are out of luck, unless you figure it out yourself. Meanwhile, it effects your grades until you figure it out...if you ever do.
Schooling has been fun but does seem to take over life at home quite a bit.
I have to download a bunch of pictures soon and post them. Like I said before, schooling is taking up most of my time.
Have a great day. I have to go grade Maggie's Literature Semester Assessment.
Julie,
ReplyDeleteIt was a great post today; reflective of the life that most of us lead. :) We strive each day to do better and help our children feel the Spirit and reach their potential!
I'm posting about you on our new FB page - as I think you're not alone in your comments.

Might I also recommend that you check out the new site for LDS families; Latterdaylearning.org. If you want your blog to be added to that list - just let me know at latterdaylearn@gmail.com
We're making a site for families to intermingle and share ideas for education. The idea is that we all 'homeschool' whether full or part time as...life is an education. :)
Anyway, keep up the good work. You're a breath of fresh air. :)

My kids are in public school. I hate it but I have not options right now. I am very active in their education and I have told all 3 of them that they do NOT let that teacher move on until you get the content of the lesson. We work very hard on a lot of lessons at home too. We have to be careful that our kids don't fall through the cracks. You have a nice place and I look forward to visiting often!
