Homeschool update
I would call this a Weekly update, however, since I'm no good at doing this weekly I'll just call it an update.
I'm currently student teaching this semester, and had been scrambling to find someone to care for dd while I'm in the classroom during the day. There were a couple of homeschool families that stepped up to help, and then my mother-in-law came to visit and dh convinced her to stay until I finish.
So, last week, I had dd and a Kindergarten nephew. Went to do classroom observations for a couple of hours, went home to teach and leave independent work, then back to the school. We also did (tried to do) activities when I left the school.
So, hmmm. What did we accomplish? She completed All About Spelling level 1 and the rest of the week I went through and did some review. She's carrying over some of the spelling rules she's learned into her writing, as I found out when we began working on a paragraph. It was great! She's working to finish her Lectura 3 from Rod & Staff. I haven't yet begun her writing journal, or the fluency readings for either language.
She completed several exercises in Singapore 2 A and B, in addition/subtraction, multiplication/division, and geometry. Her 4th grade Spanish math book is also moving along in the same topics. There are 12 topics in her math book, and we are covering just one topic a day, in order to spread out how long she is working on each topic (instead of 3 weeks in each topic, moving on, and forgetting everything by the end of the year). We're doing numbers on Monday, which right now consists of reading and writing numbers to millions. I've decided to drop millions for now, and move on to the rest of the topics in that chapter. She'll see it again in Singapore down the line. On Tuesdays, it's addition and subtraction, Wednesdays multiplication and division, and Thursdays are geometry.. I may switch Wednesdays and Thursdays so operations aren't back to back. That should give some processing time for her. As we finish a topic on a particular day, we'll just move to the next topic to fill that day. Fridays, I've been wanting to do MEP, but haven't got to it.
We did one science activity this week. I purchased the Properties of Ecosystems that goes along with the new ECC, so the children were out in the garden doing the observations. My K nephew just wanted to take a hatchet and dig holes!
I had my nephew working on /a/ (Spanish); tracing in shaving cream, choosing pictures from magazines, and covering an "A" with algodon (cotton). It seems like it was too much for my mother-in-law to handle two only-children, and sent him to my sister-in-law who lives 20 minutes from here. She has three boys of her own (one married with a son and one on the way), and her husband is home on disability. I sent a bunch of work with him, as he's been pulled out of school to be here.
She's doing well in her Ballet classes on Tuesdays and Fridays. She also auditioned to be in the Christmas dance program and she made it!
We (mother-in-law and daughter) went on a field trip with the homeschool group on Friday which turned out to be a lot of fun, though tiring!
This was our first week with this arrangement with MIL, so not as much got done as I wanted. I will be putting together a weekly independent work sheet and placing weekly work in her workboxes. She can work on those while I'm in school, and when I get out, I'll do her math, spelling, writing, and geography readings/lessons. We'll see how it works out next week that way. I have a lot of preparation to do!

Forms and Spanish Reading Resources
It's been a while since I've written, but I've been busy working on the blog as well. If you'll notice on the right sidebar, under Links, I have links directly to specific types of posts. Yes, it took me a bit to figure it all out! I often get questions about how I taught my daughter to read in Spanish-- you can now find that information under Forms and Reading Resources. Any other resources, such as the syllable charts and copywork pages are there as well.
Hope this makes it easier to find things!

4th Grade bilingual curriculum line-up
I've changed my mind several times since May  , but I *think* this is close to what I want to do for her 4th grade year:
We're completing the last 20 weeks of ECC, so that's geography, science, and Bible, although I do want another Bible study for her (probably Explorer's).
Math:
Mundo Matematico 4,
MEP 3 (in Spanish)- free online here: http://www.cimt.plymouth.ac.uk/projects/mep/default.htm
Singapore 2B (and if we have money, 3A & 3B)
Reading:
English- Sonlight 2 intermediate readers
Spanish- a reading list I haven't put together yet 
Spelling:
All About Spelling
Practica Ortografia
Writing:
English- ?maybe writing strands 3?  , but I have Sonlight LA 3
Spanish- Classical Writing Aesop, Spanish models
Grammar:
Intermediate Language Lessons (have this downloaded from Google books)
Espanol 3
Geography: ECC
Science: ECC habitats
When we finish with ECC, she wants to study scientists and do different science experiments tied in with the study. She also wants to study bones and horses, so there'll be enough for the last 16 weeks of school I guess . I haven't thought that far. (well, I have, but haven't gone anywhere with it)
Foreign language: German (she wants to learn it for real this year). I'll probably cough up the money to do Powerspeak., but if not, we'll use what we have, which I don't remember what it is.
Art: ECC, finish projects from Abeka 3 if she wants, I don't know what else
Dance: As always, she does ballet
Extracurricular?: 4-H- continue her dog project, start horse project?, I don't know what else
As usual, books in Spanish will be incorporated throughout all the subjects.

Message from Charlotte Mason books author-- Spanish translation?
Hello all,
I am passing on a message I received on one of my email groups. If you have any comments to give on this, contact the email provided, but remove the extra spaces I added.
"About 3 years ago "A Charlotte Mason Education" and "More Charlotte Mason Education" were translated into Korean.
Right now the publishing company is seriously considering whether to translate these books into Spanish.
The publishing company is asking me if I think there is enough interest in a Spanish version to justify all that would be involved in the effort.
They know from experience that the book stores will not carry the translations so all sales would have to come directly from homeschooling families in the USA, Mexico, South America and Spain.
What do you think?
Do any of you have an opinion on this?
Do you estimate that there are enough Spanish speaking homeschoolers to justify a translation?
All of your responses will be taken seriously and I look forward to hearing from you about this at
catherinelevison @ yahoo. com
Thank you very much for your help with this,
Catherine Levison"

School is out! Kind of...
Well, we finally got through most of Europe in Exploring Countries and Cultures, stopping right before Germany. We will be having "summer school" lasting about 1 hour daily that includes math, English and Spanish reading, and journal writing. She also has a daily Spanish copywork page. She's also in the library's summer reading program, and no, her assigned reading doesn't count... hehehe. If we have time (interest), we'll do some science, art, and/or music with the K-12 Free Homeschool.
Since dh is working sporadically, only math and reading is really getting done. I'm satisfied with that. It's more than we did last summer, lol!
We put our garden in, and it looks like the cucumber, radish, one tomatillo, and one red chili plant are coming up so far. I'm still waiting for the broccoli, tomatoes, jalapenos, squash, spinach, corn, and carrots. Oh yeah, some beans are coming up too. It's amazing what you can fit in a small space  . I keep thinking I should have waited before putting in the broccoli, spinach, and carrots though, since they are cool weather crops. Aren't they?
Dd showed her dog in the local 4-H dog show. She won 2nd place for showmanship, 4th in obedience, and 1st for talent. Although, everyone that participated in talent got 1st. A week ago, she thought the dog could use a trim, put the runt on her lap and put a pair of scissors to her. Have you ever seen a terrier without its trademark beard? Or eyelashes? Or patches of fur missing in various places?   Hopefully, it grows back before the county show in August; for sure it will be slightly embarassing for her at the dog clinic this upcoming Sunday. Oh, well. Live and learn, right?

Random thoughts
It's past my bedtime and I can't sleep. So what do I do? I bore myself on the internet.
I'm thinking about dd's homeschool year next year. We will not be purchasing another curriculum, as the funds are just not here. But, we have a very viable plan: we'll continue with ECC since we have so many weeks of it left. I have math in Spanish through the 6th grade, so I'm good there. And, there's other materials on my shelf that will get us through most of the year. If I run out (real hard since we have a great library system), there's always K-12 Free Homeschool. I've used it to supplement science, art, and music this year and like it. Well, hopefully it's still up and running next year... Oh, and I told mom that if she had an urge to buy dd anything anytime soon, some fraction and/or geometry manipulatives, and information (read: books) on famous scientists would be really nice .
Dh's current job will be ending in a couple of weeks. He picked this one up in the middle of March. My phone job ended March 27, with my last hours worked March 10  . I'm tutoring, though, but that will definitely end by the school year end. I haven't finished certifying to score tests, so I'll be unable to pick up hours for next week when the scheduler is open. I've been hired, but put on hold, for another phone job, but the only hours available are M-F, 8am-3:30pm, which are great school hours...if my dd were in SCHOOL. The only other hours are M-F from 11:30am-7pm, which is just a messed up day.
I have homework to do to finish my three graduate courses this semester. I have my objective exam TOMORROW, but I'm not really worried about passing. I'm pretty sure I will. It's only almost half my grade for the entire semester. Who knows if I can continue next term. We can't afford to take out loans with jobs so scarce and not guaranteed. We've even talked about me working with Teach for America, but that would require us, or just me and dd to move to the other side of the state. And dd in school??? My dh alone during the week????
The path of bilingual homeschooling has been on my mind: how to continue, what to use... We've shifted somewhat to math and language arts in Spanish, and most everything else in English. That's just what's available. I do still find supplements in Spanish though, and dd's stronger language is still Spanish.
We got dd evaluated for dyslexia, as she has symptoms that show up in both languages.
And this darn test I have tomorrow... I haven't even studied, but I'm really not worried about passing. Should I be?

SURVEY for African-American Homeschoolers
I found this post on the Well-Trained Mind boards and thought I'd pass it along. It seems interesting that there are more people interested in homeschooling, and hopefully that is a good thing for US :).
Here's the cut-and-paste:
" NEED HELP: African American Homeschooling Research
Dear Fellow Homeschoolers,
My name is Ebony Waller and I am a 3-year homeschooling mother of a little girl. But in addition to my homeschooling responsibilities, I am also pursuing my Master’s degree in Education with a concentration in Instructional Technology at American Intercontinental University (AIU). Part of my degree requirements is to design, implement, and report on a particular education issue that I am passionate about. I have chosen to do research on African-American homeschooling families, and have therefore, created a survey regarding homeschooling and teaching styles.
I need your help. First, would you be willing to complete my survey? Second, could you help me in passing this survey along to as many African-American homeschoolers as possible? The link is as follows: http://fs6.formsite.com/ewaller01/form440978032
Sincerely and with much thanks,
Ebony L. Waller"

Una encuesta de Homeschooling en Espana todavia busca participantes
Anota que esta encuesta pertenece solamente a las familias que viven en España. Copiada del foro Educando en Familia:
La encuesta sobre el homeschooling en España aún está activa y seguirá estándolo hasta que consigamos un centenar de respuestas. Necesitamos este número para que el trabajo sea representativo de la gran variedad de enfoques y prácticas que existen dentro de esta opción educativa, en nuestro país.
Una alta participación en la encuesta tendrá repercusiones positivas no sólo para la investigación en curso, al contribuir a hacerla más fiable y rica en matices, sino también para el propio colectivo de familias que, sin lugar a dudas, se beneficiará de ello.
Cuento con vuestra colaboración.

A stint in public school
Yes, I have been away for awhile (except for yesterday's post). I've been really, really busy. My dear hubby was laid off in December right before Christmas so I started working more hours (from home and tutoring). I was also finishing some graduate classwork, as well as the lovely Christmas gifts I made that you can see the pictures of in January's post.
I started working the phones almost all morning in January, as well as tutoring many afternoons, and although I was able to do lessons with dd before my shift, not much else was getting done the rest of the day. I had a list of independent work, and told her she had free time afterward. The work wasn't getting done, but free time was! Dh was frustrated that school wasn't getting done, as well of course of going out daily trying to find work and being unsuccessful (he works construction). I mentioned that at least at the school across the street, she'd be working on school work and getting work done during the day. It hit the fan January 23rd, and we walked across the street and enrolled her. She started January 26th. I put her in a bilingual classroom since Spanish is her stronger language (reading and writing). It also helped that we both knew the teacher from other contact. By the 3rd day, the teacher mentioned how much my daughter likes to talk. I reaffirmed that yes, she does, and she'll have to be consistent with her discipline plan, LOL!
She sent home a homework packet each week, which took my daughter forever to fill out; she reads so slow. I could sometimes read things to her, but I simply didn't have the time. The child wasn't getting to sleep until after 9pm, and had to get up earlier in the morning. The time it took her to finish homework, I could have homeschooled English, Spanish, and math with more substance. Maybe some book basket and a bit of geography. They were not doing as much work in school, and we quickly figured out she was actually finishing more work at home than at school. Picking her up after school reminded me of a cattle auction. Round up and corral all the children in one place, and have the bidders call out their price, err... names, of their child, get 'em, take 'em home. I hated being their after school to get her.
It was funny, that first week, she woke up with an excuse not to go to school, and dh backed her up every time! I would make her go anyway. One girl told her I was stupid for homeschooling her, and other students called her stupid and harassed her because I didn't vote for Obama (I get that too. One woman couldn't believe me when I told her all black people in the US didn't vote for him.) I've taught my daughter to be direct (kindly) in confrontation, to hash things out, and try to solve problems. She was immersed in (again) the cattiness of females, IN 3RD GRADE. She's not unsocialized, I've just taught her since preschool to try to work out problems, not walk around them and convince all your friends not to like someone else just because you don't want to face up.
ANYWAY...
Her last day was February 20th, even though we both love her teacher. Her teacher has pretty much the same style I do in teaching. So, my daughter has experienced one full month of public school. She liked it, to a point. But, was ready to come home. She tells people both systems have its pros and cons, but all-in-all, homeschooling is better.

Homeschoolbuyer's coop- Spanish classes with Interlingo in the pipeline
For those of you who don't already know, The Homeschool Buyer Co-op is a free homeschooling organization for both new and veteran homeschoolers. Co-op membership is free and confidential, and entitles homeschooling families to discounts from over a hundred educational suppliers. They also sponsor "Group Buys" for curriculum packages that save homerschooling families lots of money. On the site you'll find lots of free information, such as databases of free curriculum, field trips, and educational contests and scholarships. Highly recommended. Click here for more information.
Right now, they are asking members their interest in a group buy with Interlingo. I copied and pasted the email below:
Interlingo -Live Spanish instruction over the Internet
We need to hear from more of you if we are to move forward with this unqiue offer!
Interlingo offers online, live Spanish language instruction over the Internet. In their case, the instructors are professional teachers in Colombia. Students and instructors connect over broadband Internet connections with audio and webcams.
The company is willing to work with the Co-op to tailor a solution for members.
There are several options available. We have PDF's describing each course - the published pricing DOES NOT APPLY. The company proposes to get the pricing down by offering classes of no more than FIVE students meeting weekly with their Colombian instructor:
Spanish for Kids K-5- 18 week course with three, 30-minute classes each week, for $175 ($6.48 per class).
Essential Spanish - 6 week course for beginning students, three, 50-minute classes each week for $175 ($9.72 per class).
Intermediate Spanish - 6 week course for intermediate students, three 50-minute classes each week for $175 ($9.72 per class).
Advanced Spanish- 6 week course for intermediate students, three 50-minute classes each week for $175 ($9.72 per class).
Virtual Field Trip - Students take a virtual field trip to Colombia with their instructor as guide. Students learn the language, culture, and practical knowledge they would need to take a real trip to Colombia! 6 week course, 50 minutes per week, $10 per class.
Take a look at the PDFs and let us know: what do you think?

Freecycle Christmas
My husband's job started cutting back on hours the beginning of November. He was warned in October, and I told my daughter not to expect anything under the tree this year. Well, as least not from us. I knew Grandma would send something . Early this summer, I picked up a simple sewing book that contained a patchwork bedspread in it. I remember thinking, one day.... well this Christmas was the day. I had extra fabric of my own, and stuff I'd picked up here and there through Freecycle. I put out a Wanted post looking for buttons, and got those.
Between working days (from home) on the telephones, tutoring students in the afternoons and evenings, and doing homework till 10pm, I worked in sewing a bedspread. A good friend of mine did help me out by taking her for a few hours one Saturday, and my dear husband would take her on a couple of river walking trips, so that helped.
Looked how it turned out, I'm so proud of me! It's my first major sewing project:
I had also picked up some jeans that were in really good condition through Freecycle this past summer. While on the Sonlight boards, someone posted a link to sew aprons. Listed was how to make an apron using a jean pant leg. Guess what else my daughter got for Christmas?
Unbeknown by me, she had found the bag of buttons, took the lace poncho my grandmother had given me (out of my closet, how did I not know?), and made her own present for me:
It was a really cool Christmas  !

Mexican fiesta
So, we did it. I coincided our study of Mexico to end on my husband's birthday. We made paper flowers, and a balloon piñata! It was fun. I had an extra balloon lying around, some toilet paper and paper towel rolls, construction paper, and paint, and just went at it. At first, we wanted to make a wolf, but we didn't have enough rolls for long legs, and the nuzzle started looking like a snout. So, we decided we'd make a pig. But, then we wanted to make a fancy schmancy colorful tail, so in the end, we made...an animal. Whatever you think it is, that's what it is! I made buñuelos and we listened to a CD- I have no idea where it came from (not part of my husband's collection), but it purported to be music listened to in many Mexican restaurants. Well, we've been to many authentic restaurants, and... well... never mind. The music was cool, and upbeat. We sang the Mañanitas, and I had invited my single homeschooling friend with her son to come break the piñata.
Here's my daughter still painting the piñata:
And here it is hanging up. I put it in the archway between the hallway and the kitchen/living room. I forgot to take a picture of it up with the tissue paper flowers, though.

Carved pumpkin project
My daughter went to the pumpkin patch with the homeschool group and brought back a pumpkin for me to fix (roast seeds and lots of pumpkin bread, mmmm).
She decided she wanted to carve it, and this is what she came up with:
It's Jesus, on the cross, with various rays and decorations surrounding it. Pretty cool, huh? This pic, she lights it up by putting a lamp on the top:
At least I'm not being surprised anymore by walking into the bathroom and finding my soap carved up anymore! Well, at least for now...

Why Pregones? and more copywork sheets/ Mas hojas para copiar
I was asked by Ms. Alma Flor Ada what I like about her book Pregones. I've always liked it, but at the time I purchased it, I wasn't able to use the book as I wanted with my daughter. Now, that we are focusing more on her writing, Pregones has found a place in the curriculum
This is a series of childhood memories, and is filled with wonderful imagery. As a second-language Spanish speaker (although I've been speaking almost 10 years now), and an avid reader, being able to picture, smell, and be a part of a story can be difficult when I'm reading in Spanish. Ms. Ada's descriptions are clear, and just all-around beautiful. I'm there. The selections I've pulled for my daughter's copywork display a certain aspects of writing I want her to grasp (description, imagery, dialect, etc.), as well as different mechanics: such as writing dialogue (quotation marks are not used traditionally, although I've seen them used in more recent books).
I could have used just about any Spanish translation, but I wanted native-language. Alma's works are very accessible (as far as reading level, comprehension, etc.), interesting, and high-quality writing. And, well, some of it is just plain cute! It was hard picking what I wanted to include in her copywork. My daughter certainly helped as she had passages that spoke to her as well that she wanted to copy.
Other works I will use throughout the year, besides the Reina-Valera version of the Bible, will various poets from the book "Dia por dia de poesia", edited by Alma Flor Ada, "Las palabras que se lleva el viento" by Juan Carlos Martin Ramos (mostly to memorize works), passages from "De oro y esmeraldas- Mitos, leyendas y cuentos populares de Latinoamerica" by Lulu Delacre, "Platero y yo" by Juan Ramon Jimenez, and since I'm using Classical Writing, I've found translations of Aesop's tales.
Yenia's group, Educando en Familia, also has a lot of resources I haven't tapped into yet. I was supposed to have prepared everything this summer, but as you see, I'm now coming around.
Anyway, here are four more sentences from "Pregones" I hope you enjoy. My daughter told me I "had" to include the one on page three of the copywork :).

School started- Spanish copywork page/ Hoja de lectura para copiar
Well, we finally started school last week, but it's been slow going. I'm trying to kick into gear, but the only thing consistent is math. Today, after she wrote a thank you note to dh's boss, I decided to add in more copywork to her routine. For the next couple of weeks, she'll do a daily copywork page. Until we start the read-alouds in week 3, I'm going to start with "Pregones" by Alma Flor Ada. I bought this one of a series through MIBI Book, before they closed, and it's been sitting on my shelf for about 3 years. Del Sol Books now carries six of eight of the series, "Cuentos con Alma."
Here's the page she's doing today, the two different sentences came from two different paragraphs on the same page. I would like to send a thank you for the homeschool mom on WTM that created the template for me! Hopefully there will be more to follow in upcoming days and weeks. I'd like to do a week or two's worth at a time.

Official 3rd grade curriculum line-up for 2008-2009
Notice the changes I've made since March  . Thankfully, there weren't many.
In English:
Bible- Yes, I moved this from the Spanish. I have too many scriptures committed to memory to continue this in Spanish. She usually does private devotion reading in Spanish, though.
MFW ECC is a study of the great commission, going through Matthew
Explorer's Bible Study, Beginnings II- Jesus, My Shepherd (for young readers, since she's still learning phonics)
History
Complete Adventures (Intro to American History) in the afternoons
Exploring Countries and Cultures- I do have atlases and such in Spanish as well. We'll be starting this on 9/08 as I want to correlate the Mexico celebration with my husband's birthday. Shhhh, don't tell .
Language Arts
Complete MFW phonics
-Then start Spelling by Sound and Structure
Sonlight reading schedules, starting with 1
Practice with Hooked on Phonics during independent time
Fine Arts
Music and Art from ECC- mostly correlated with the countries we're studying
Abeka - Art Projects 3, will be done independently
Health
Abeka - Health, Safety, & Manners 3
Foreign Language- as there is time
German
Japanese
In Spanish:
Math
Mundo Matematico 3
Language Arts
Classical Writing Aesop with Spanish models
Grammar- will be correlated with CW instead of translating PLL (Primary Language Lessons) and using Espanol 3
Spelling- Practica Ortografia 3
Reading- I put together a reading list based on level, and some correlation with countries studied. Maybe I'll post the list someday.
In both languages:
Science topics (habitats, biomes)
Read-alouds - We have 5 of the 6 missionary biographies in Spanish. Will be read in English in the day, and Spanish at night with husband.
Book Basket
Extracurricular:
One, yes, just one dance class this year (last year there were three)
4-H
Awana- this is up in the air, as I would need to go to a different church for this
Power Reading program at the library, twice a week
Science at the Library program- 8 week afternoon program, once a week
