Blah

Posted in Cassie

...is how she feels today.  It's the same old stuff.  Although she does have 2 exams to study for today.  We're trying to adjust to a new schedule this week, it's a slow process...

History

Posted in Jacob

Jacob & I have been taking a journey into Ancient Egypt for the last several weeks.  It's been a blast!  He has learned much of the geography of Egypt & how the civilization formed.  Today we get to look at the construction of the Great Pyramid.  I know he's thinking, "Finally!".

Organizing blog catagories

Why is it that I'm not able to block my categories together?  Or at least have links to each category along the side...

 

Ok, I got it.  I'll just have to create separate blogs and link them together.  *Sigh*  But that'll work.

Poetry

Posted in Jessica

We've come to the end of our poetry unit.  So now Jess can slide right through some more grammar until we come to the next writing unit.  We continue to work on essay skills through science & geography.  Here is a sample of what she has done (although this was not one of her assignments ) ...

 

And Here

And here I am.

I can't find my vocabulary book.

And I'm sorry for the can of soup,

That I sneakily took.

And yet enjoyed.

 

And here Cassie is.

Yelling, "taken!"

And yes I do know

That the house smells like bacon.

 

And here is the emo kid

that is apathetic.

She lost her boyfriend

And I failed to be sympathetic.

 

And here Jacob is

locking the door.

He threw an eraser at me

And now it's on the floor.

 

And here is the emo kid's ex-boyfriend

Looking awfully pathetic.

His sister wouldn't let him where her pants

And yet again I failed to be empathetic.

 

And here I am

Looking around.

The room is dark

And suddenly I'm on the ground.

 

(And such is a commentary from my daughter's thoughts on a typical day and the world around her.)

He's finally got it!!!

Posted in Jacob

FINALLY!!  Jacob was able to work through his long division without getting himself thoroughly confused.

 

Now he's moving on to bigger and better things.  Angles.

Catch up

Posted in Cassie

Once again, Cassie is playing catch up.  She'll be working diligently today as she catches up on her schoolwork from last week.  We had a light day Friday to prepare for an all-night youth group event.

 

She will need to hurry though, if she would like to attend knitting club at 3.

Starting over, again

Welcome to our blog.  I've tried others and I just didn't find them easy enough for me to navigate.  So, yet again, I'm creating a new blog.  Let's see if I can stick with it...
