Where does the time go???

I blink and the first quarter has almost come to an end. No, things did not go as planned, but not so bad. I've learned to re-evaluate and adjust. My kids are learning. So am I.

Spelling City has been very helpful this year. We will continue to use that. MCP math - I've not been so happy with, but it's OK. So many problems on a page, and not enough room to do long multiplication problems. A consumable math book that I still have to have them copy the problems! Hate to toss it, and use something else, when I spent so much money. I need to get the kids writing more. Will address that. Reading - I have one who devours everything that comes into the house, and one who will avoid it if at all possible.

We have been reading "Farmer Boy" aloud, and I would love to take the field trip to the Wilder Farm, since it is in my state - however, very long drive. We'll see.

It's been a tough couple of years, having put much time into an extended family emergency. I am quite sure that the kids have learned more about helping others, stepping up to the plate, loving, caring, and so many other things that it would be impossible to name. The important stuff.
