Category Archives: Uncategorized When we moved into this house, this room was the laundry room. We moved the laundry room to another area and turned this into the school room. This room had two very very small old windows that opened from the center OUT with no screens. I had these new windows put in their place. I...  While in the waiting room to see the doctor, he asked if I brought anything for him to do…because I ALWAYS do! He’s always been such a wigglemonster that I usually have a book or a toy car or my phone. Today I told him no. He knew I had my phone and asked to...  We’ve been working for several months on Evan Moor’s Beginning Geography, Grades K-2and we like it quite a bit. It’s a great book for beginning map skills. It teaches all about the compass and directions and the parts of a map and lately we’ve started to learn about landforms. Recently I found a book called...  We made an updated video of his reading progress. I think it’s coming along nicely. He’s reading from the book The Ordinary Parent’s Guide to Teaching Reading. This is from lesson 61. Griffin has piano camp this week. There are two days of recitals (Wednesday and Thursday). Here is the song he will be playing. He needs a little more practice before he’s ready! I love the little faces he makes when he’s playing and his little alfalfa hair. Don’t mind our walls. We are in the...  Last week, we had a great time at Wildwood Park. We met up with Aunt Len and all of the cousins on her side of the family. Griffin spent a lot of time throwing rocks into the stream and trying to hang out with the big boy cousins. They had a really neat feature with... The following was read as the valedictorian’s speech at Coxsackie-Athens High School in recent weeks, creating quite a stir among administrators, to great applause from students and many of their parents. It honestly brought tears to my eyes. With home schooling, we have the time to teach the things we think Griffin should know as...  Our last few math lessons are starting to introduce story problems. We thought we’d make it a little more interesting by playing store. Of course he loved it and could have played store all afternoon! I bought scissors for $3.00, a pencil for $5.00, but the best thing I bought was a smile for the...  Try as we might to not begin too many projects at once without finishing, it seems that there is always a reason that we can’t finish one thing and have to move on to another. The pantry turned out to be much more work than I imagined. So far it has had 2 coats of...  Here are some photos from our first day on the property. These were taken in about a 30 minute period. My working computer monitor is broken and new monitor is still not here so these were proofed on my laptop which means the colors and all are probably way off. A dream train for a... |
