I've been wanting to post what has been going on in school, life, cooking......unfortunately I have been having a month of migraines. In the last month I've had 20 days of migraines, 11 in the last 12 days. So even thought my intentions for this school year was to keep up on my blog, I guess it won't be happening like I planned. I will be going to a specialist the beginning of November......however, I'm sure it will be a loooong process.
So what have I been doing the last few weeks?
- Co-op Classes: So far we have had 2, 4 more to go. I'm teaching Jr/Sr High, "English from the Roots Up". Going very well so far. We are working on 10 words for each week. I give them a pretest on the words we will be working on, we review the previous words (last week we did a crossword puzzle together), put together our flash cards (I type out the words/definitions, then they glue them onto their 3x5 cards), and then we play "Rummy Roots" if we have time. When we correct the pretest, I explain more about each root.
- Homeschool Support Meeting: While the parents have their meeting, another teacher and I are teaching the K-2nd grade children. We are doing a science theme this year. So far we have done Simple Machines and Water Cycle. I'm hoping later to have separate post of these classes outlining what we did. It has been so much fun. The next class will be about The 5 Senses.
- ECC: Week 3&4 United States: We did get through these weeks. I actually had posted a long post but somehow lost it. We are now in Weeks 5 & 6: Mexico. I'm already a week behind with these migraines, but we work though it. For days I'm not doing well, I always have lots of books for the book basket that violet can read to me. Also I make sure we get several movies from the library about what we are doing. We also have a DVD interactive game, "Planet Earth". This is a great game for geography. We were fortunate enough to receive it as a gift last Christmas from some friends.
I've been doing alot of canning, mostly salsa lately, but that will hopfully be another post with recipes to share.
