So where are the dc in school? Well lets see if I can do a little review.

Highschool "B" (my son 15) is currently doing the SOS900, guitar lessons and skateboarding. Still dislikes homeschool and wants to be in PS but he realizes, I think, that's not going to happen. Won't do any group activities and loves to stay to himself. I think he thinks I have cooties. LOL Working hands on  with my hubby doing part time tile work a few days a week. 

Highschooler 'D" ( my new student14, my oldest sons (B) friend) Is doing great in SOS900. A's and B's so far in all five subjects and loves to get in on the MOH1 that we are doing as a group, here daily and ready to do his work. Also works part time with my husband getting trained in the workfield.

Both boys do not work on same days as they play too much then. They alternate days so to be fair and keep my hubby safe from them. LOL

Extra Math worksheets on multiplication and online games at funbrain.com. This week  A week or so ago we made flashcards for her times tables. We printed them then cut and pasted to different colored constuction paper. She enjoyed this. She's a very hands on learner and the text-book, paperwork stuff just isn't cutting it for her memory. She seems to have a real hard time with these, any suggestions? Each day now we will practice with the flashcards for 10-15 minutes.

My youngest, well we work on numbers, ABC's and whatever else he wants to do. I don't follow a curriculum with him right now. He will be three in a few months and he has days that he really wants to do "school" and others he isn't interested in it at all. I just kind of follow his lead on this right now .

Have a good noght.
