Mar. 26, 2007 - A new week

Well, Perry made it back from his trip to New York on Sunday afternoon. Grammie didn't seem to think schooling during the trip was as important as I did, so when we picked him up she basically told us that they didn't get much done...but "its all right up there in his head, and he has tons of pictures to jog his memory". That wasn't really my point of him taking school work along with them on their trip, but I guess we will take what was dealt to us, hand it over to God and allow Him to make all things work together for good. This morning, Libby woke up with a slight fever, but she's already feeling better, healed, whole and delivered.

I am considering switching gears from a CM education to a more self directed plan. I'm not quite sure I'm ready for a complete switch of tracks, but i"m checking out Ace Ministries. The boys are working their way through the diagnostic tests to see where they are placed. So far it's looking good. Parker is ready for next year. Perry did well, but has a few learning gaps in English, which we just really started working on in January, so I'm not surprised. I'm finding that Perry's work ethic is going to need some encouraging, he just isn't giving his best. Today he had to re-do his English 3 times because of simple spelling and capitalization mistakes...he was just copying, so it is more of an issue with paying attention to detail rather than a learning issue. His penmanship work is amazing, but when he turns in work from a worksheet, the writing is no where near his ability level.
