~Kids played on the Wii or something before I woke up.
~Played with toys until snack time.
~Short clipboard time. E looked up letters on a word find – he found all the vowels for me except for “Y” which M helped him with b/c it was a really odd font. M practiced writing her [...]

Math Apps and Links

I forgot to add last week that I got this Cute Math app for my phone and both the kids really like it. It functions as more-fun-than-flashcards for Margie and building skills for Elliott. The kids like it so well (and it’s SO perfect for keeping them quiet when running inmportant and boring [...]

This week is going by in a blur. I am focusing less on the kids and more on me as teacher at this point. Thinking through where we will go next. So here is a quick recap.
Monday we stayed mostly here at home, trying to get things in order after a busy weekend, and one [...]
Sunday – Litha

The Summer Solstice (called Litha) is the day we say goodbye to the sun as the days begin to become shorter again. This is the beginning of our second year celebrating the Sabbats with our friends, and we met again at the beach to watch the sun set into the ocean. We splashed, [...]

Our plans were on-again-off-again until the very last minute, but in the end we were able to plan a very lovely ceremony. Karen Garcia, the club rep for San Diego came and helped us out.
I earned something, too!

Wednesday was errand day, but it was also free movie day so we headed out to the Regal Cinemas (motto: “If you get to watch an entire movie without our projectors burning it up, you should buy yourself a lottery ticket!”) to watch The Pirates Who Don’t Do Anything. I may not be a [...]

~This morning M read in some of her animal encyclopedias and thought she figured out what this weird bug was that we found back in April. After some Googling, we decided it was not Grant’s Rhinoceros Beetle in larvae form, but after a little more Googling we figured out that it is a Green [...]

~M played Webkinz this morning.
~M went through the Michael’s Ad this morning and picked out some things she wanted to buy. She counted her money and together we added up what she could get. So we headed out (cause how could I say no?) and took advantage of their $1 sale. She [...]

Friday we went to knitting again where E fell IN LOVE with this cookie jar. He nearly cried when we had to leave it.
Saturday the kids went to a birthday party in the morning where Project Wildlife came and did a cool presentation. They learned about snakes, herons, how to save a baby [...]
Margie
She is seven and full of spirit. She reads voraciously, knows her math, and is in speech therapy to help her words come out clearly. We use a charter homeschooling program which provides us with many opportunities in the way of classes and supplies. Elliott
My four-year-old had a pretty significant language delay and has been in programs since he was 18 months old to keep an eye on it. He's gaining in leaps and bounds, but we keep our eyes on him, even though he is not currently in speech. He knows all the letters and sounds and is beginning to read. He knows all his numbers up to 20 or so and all his colors and shapes - including octagon! He loves puzzles, books and his train set. They Might be Giants is his favorite band.Archives
