- Moved to Colorado in October as our LA house sold in less than 2 weeks - Shopped for housing between Denver & Pueblo - settled on a mountain town 45 minutes from Colorado Springs - to over 9000 ft elevation from sea level! - Did a whopping 10 weeks of school last semester - mostly touristy stuff and life lessons ;0) - Moved in Thanksgiving weekend, had in-laws visiting 3 weeks later, then my folks for all of January - Crashed our main computer, bought a new MAC this time around and we're slowing getting back online for fun as opposed to function - Missed my blog pals horribly and have committed to get back in touch and rejuvenated in spirit following a long, dry complicated time - Finally, we're remodeling our kitchen and flooring of the main level so schooling is complicated - You'll hate the next post, so before I get to the "Why our kids are in Public School this semester" post, let me just say you're awesome for being the encouragement and support I need to homeschool again!

Wow, you really have had a lot going on. I'm wondering where you are living. My sis lives in a mtn. town 45 minutes from the Springs...she's in Canon City. The area is so beautiful.
We are gearing up for a move to Texas, so I'm sure my next few months will be much like yours have been. Glad to see you back.
Blessings,
Angela

Yes, Times Tales does work. IT is shocking how well it does work, that is why it is on my sidebar. If you purchase the program, click the link on my blog. It is one of those affiliation things.
However it is the larger numbers that the program is for (6-9) and Princess knows those, as all I have to do is remind her of the story or character if she gets stuck. But she actually has trouble with the threes and fours. And like I said it isn't instant recall, which makes dividsion hard. When you have a problem like this: 34 divided by 4=
The problem says, what is the largest number that 4 divides into evenly-she doesn't naturally come up with 8 (32). For some reason going backwards like this doesn't click with her.
Thanks for relating!
