An Update and Lessons for Today
Thought I'd give a quick update on our homeschooling since this *IS* a blog hosted at homeschoolblogger. LOL
Things have been going just dandy so far, with DD now "in 6th grade." She's been a pretty independent student for the last few years anyway, and this years proves to be no different. One thing that I'm really trying to get her to pay more attention to is ATTENTION TO DETAIL. Whether it be simple spelling or math errors, dropped letters or words in copywork, or something like remembering to put ALL the dishes away when she's doing the dishes (including the ones drying on the counter)... it all needs to be done. Right. The first time.
Like last evening, after dinner, I finally had a chance to look over/grade her work from earlier in the day. She was across the hall in her room probably doing some beading. Well, I had to call her in and have her go finish an assignment that she'd only done PART way, having not read/followed all the instructions I'd given her. She was not a happy camper, but hey-- not my fault. I'd given her adequate instructions. So she did the rest of the work and all was well. But this is a prime example of case/effect with the attention to detail issue.
Anyway, it's just after 9am and I hear her in the school room. Here's her list of assignments for the day:

Plus, she's to read another chapter in The Hobbit and do another lesson of computer math (Teaching Textbooks 6.) She's still in "review mode" so to speak with TT6. Having started from the beginning of the disk, she's just rolling long till we get to "new material/info." She seems to enjoy it, though had to turn off the annoying buddy noise it offers. LOL
There ya have it. Didn't wan't ya all to be thinking that we had stopped homeschooling or anything. LOL
Could you email me? I want to know how to purchase TOG items, giving you credit through their affiliate program. My email is rhonda dot miller at oplink dot net
Thanks!
Thanks--got the Audubon page to work this time. My daughter is also in 6th grade and also big into beading right now! There are some examples of her work [a few of her very first projects--I need to post some new pictures] on my blog here if you daughter is interested.
