HOLY COW!
|
Clearly, I am not very good at blogging. In fact, I think my last entry was about consistency... in December 2006. Bahahahah! Have I been consistent about blogging. Uh, NO. This year has gone reasonably well. I had both my son (16) and daughter (7) signed up in a supplemental program, but I pulled my daughter out halfway through. I don't know if I was dropping the ball or what, but she just wasn't progressing. After bringing her home, she has blossomed. She's reading and spelling, and she's a whiz at math. My son is still there taking chemistry and writing (thank God, cuz I couldn't teach chem), and he goes to a math tutor once a week. I've kinda dropped the ball with history, so he'll be doing that over the summer. :) What I'm really loving about this year is that my daughter and I have planted a butterfly garden, a vegetable garden, and we've put out bird feeders and are enjoying "bird watching." We've seen thrashers, chickadees, robins, nuthatches, titmouses (titmice?), bluebirds, and more. We even had a HUGE vulture in the front yard yesterday snacking on a dead squirrel. It was AMAZING. I'm enjoying the teachable moments and the spontaneity that homeschooling allows. I can't imagine any other way. |
