Willow Academy

Jan. 17, 2009

Hopes.

This year brings new hope. It has nothing to do with a new president. However I do wish him a good term.

I have hope of good learning experiences for Willow Academy. I have hope of good family times this year.

Candace is coming later today for a visit.

Yesterday Colton and I began a Lego Club with other homeschool boys. We had a small group but should be adding more next meeting. The boys had fun building and battling :) I think.

Next week Cayleigh and I will host our American Girl Club at our home and will study Kaya.

Chad will be here at the end of next week for about 2 weeks.

We are planning to attend a family wedding next weekend. Cayleigh and I went to a cake tasting /tea party and helped choose the cake for the wedding. fun.

We are in the start of Girl Scout Cookie sales and it is going well. We also have a skating party planned and a sleepin planned with the girls soon.

Looking forward to it all.

About Me

I love nature, sewing, scouting and quotes...An educational system isn't worth a great deal if it teaches young people how to make a living but doesn't teach them how to make a life. Unknown----------------------------- Happy moments, praise God. Difficult moments, seek God. Quiet moments, worship God. Painful moments, trust God. Every moment, thank God. Unknown---------------------------------- "I am beginning to suspect all elaborate and special systems of education. They seem to me to be built upon the supposition that every child is a kind of idiot who must be taught to think. Whereas, if the child is left to himself, he will think more and better, if less showily. Let him go and come freely, let him touch real things and combine his impressions for himself, instead of sitting indoors at a little round table, while a sweet-voiced teacher suggests that he build a stone wall with his wooden blocks, or make a rainbow out of strips of coloured paper, or plant straw trees in bead flower-pots. Such teaching fills the mind with artificial associations that must be got rid of, before the child can develop independent ideas out of actual experience." -- Anne Sullivan
