Living and Learning With the Kvenvolden Bunch

September 29
Well, today we are getting back into the swing of things, WOOHOO! its been a busy, fun, productive day... here's how it went...
5:30 Got up, did bible study with dh
had breakfast with dh and chloe who got up with Andy, even before ME!
6:00 got chloe set up with starfall phonics so she could work on that when i went for my walk, i went for my walk....
6:30got chloe started on her math book, using Calvert where she left off last year, she's NOT liking math u see! She finished that up and took a break.
715 woke up the boys, they took showers and got ready,
745 got the computer ready for the creation science class the kids are doing online through Cindy Rushton
800 Alex, Nik, and chloe sat at the computer and listened to creation science seminar, Alex was fine because he got to chat in the text section while he was listening, Nik was fine because he's VERY auditory, and likes to listed to stuff but chloe was chomping at the bit to get done... she's visual, not sure she got much out of that!
11:00 Started Chloe on her handwriting, and written phonics, and alex started his precalc. and set up Leif and anna with the baby show in my bedroom so nik could listen to the math u see video in peace. Eventually Anna and Leif started playing with the math u see blocks, which are just great fun.
Now- 11:30 Alex is still working on precalc, everyone else is playing math u see blocks!
I am so happy i could SCREAM! NIk just finished his math u see lesson, HE GETS IT! not only does he get it but he has to do very little of his written work since he understands it, and when you understand it you don't have to be stuck with a bunch of busywork. He's SO proud of himself and was actually LAUGHING and smiling after math today instead of CRYING!!! oh my goodness, what a treat! He is so auditory that hearing a story of how stuff works, is SO well suited to him!!!
That reminds me... does anyone use audio radio shows in their homeschool? i bought the annual subscription to the homeschool radio show people, the same ones that do this freebie site? do you know aobut it? its AWESOME!!

Anyway, i'm curious how you integrate the radio shows into your schedule... it will be PERFECT for NIkolas, who so often gets left out of the shuffle due to his extreme auditory nature, and will be a very good exercise in expanding Chloe and NIk's repetoire!
Well, better go, duty calls!!
