Ashley had other plans about school and had even written a revise schedule. She decided that she would do Bible study and bible drill, science(Considering God's Creation), history(The Story Of the World-Ancient History book 1), Miquion Math, M ath U See, Spelling and Phonics (Abeka). Art was just brown paper cave paintings. She really packed a lot into her day. I guess being off school while jess was hospitalized was too much to bear. She did not put in reading because that is a given with her. She reads constantly. She works hard at understanding math but still struggles. Reading is her strong point. She was reading by 4 and has never really like anything as well. Her handwriting leaves a lot to be desired. but I remind myself that she is only 7. I do know that she is doing her best and that is all I would ever expect of her. She prefers to type everthing. But then so do I. LOL.

I had not planned to have 4 hours of school but that was her choice. I don't think she should be so concerned. and finally told her to go out and ride her bike or go swimming. she wanted to "catch up" the days that she missed.. I explained that one of the reasons that we homeschool is so that she has the freedom to be a child for as long as she needed to be. She wrote down a few notes on history and finally went outside.

Now I will try to catch up with my work.

She is a virgo!!! It is her way (and her necessity) to control an environment that she has absolutely no control over!!! Remember that you already raised one virgo! She is a good kid......be sure to tell her that i am proud of her.....I am proud of you too mom. i love you
