Veteran's Day!

Thank you to all our Veterans for their sacrifice and service!

We appreciate all you do!

Neat website!

I found this really neat site today. I love old radio shows and that's what this site is!! You can subscribe to their newsletter and they will send you new shows each week! Pretty cool. We listened to one tonight and the kids enjoyed it. Here's the link. Homeschool Radio Shows Go check it out!

Hello

Good evening friends! Well, today was a pretty good day. He started really concentrating on handwriting. That's something that was never correctly addressed in public school and he hates to write because of it. But you know what! I think he enjoyed it and it was a real boost to his ego!

I talked with my sister (she's a high school math teacher) about our math program today and she helped me a lot in deciding how and what to tackle for the rest of the year and even helped me decide that we need to try something different next year.

I've read that the first year is just a lot of trial and error and that it takes a lot of time to figure out curriculum choices. I've already decided that we will not be using any of the curriculum that we are using right now, next year.

I've found some that I think we might use in different subjects. Well, history, we will probably continue with the same company again. But for Grammar I'm looking for something else. I saw one the other day that was Literature based that I think we might consider. I think it included Spelling too. Science? I'm still looking into it. Well, we'll see. I'll probably spend my summer looking. Funny! It's not even Christmas and I'm talking about Summer!

Another day with allergies

Well, it's a slow day today. DS has terrible allergies and they are really giving him fits today. He's just miserable and about the only thing that helps him to breathe is to move about. He just can't sit for long or his nose get so clogged he can't breathe at all out of his mouth.

He's done his spelling and grammar. He needs to do his math and science and reading. He also did some home economics and banking. So we are getting by today. I think we take a game of some sort to do while wait to pick up DD this afternoon.

Hope you all have a very productive day.
