Thinking Aloud

Posted in HomeSchooling
I decided to take a detour in our regularly scheduled homeschool plans.  I was all set to do AmbleSide for the long haul.  Then I saw Beyond by HOD and it looked so tantalizing I just had to go for it.  Since it is geared more for 1st grade level work I also justified that decision knowing DS needed a bit more time to mature in math and reading.  We're still plugging along in those areas and yet something is not right. 

HOD used singapore math and I'm finding I loathe it.  It's throwing concepts to quicly at DS that he's still about at the level he was before we started singapore level 1A....

We're almost done with Beyond and I'm debating a few things.

Rod and Staff seems so lovely in the LA department with the english and spelling just being started at 2nd grade level so maybe we could easily ease right in and not feel behind.

MUS Beta may be a math curricula to consider.

And yet the independence of CLE also is alluring.

And do I want to contine with AmbleSide's selection of books or do I want to go for WinterPromise or Sonlight or Beautiful Feet, etc...

I've got the diagnostic tests from CLE but I know DS has not seen most of the concepts in neither the LA nor Math level 100 tests.

I've also printed off the Alpha test from MUS to see if my guess of placing DS in Beta would fit perfectly.

With MUS I know it will be many days of the same type of problem and I am not sure if DS will like this or get angry at the repitition.  Also will working the problems with blocks keep him from memorizing the math facts?

Yet CLE Math is spiral and we may have to start in level 100 in order to catch up ...

I'm not a huge fan of drilling with flashcards ....

oh decisions decisions

Then we come to reading and DS is still ok with cvc words but now adding cvce words and learning vowels don't always say the short sound is causing hesitation/confusion so I'm not sure if just R&S spelling will work out the kinks or if we should also add a phonics workbook and not sure how to figure out where is he grade level reading wise to know which grade of readers to place him in.  I did find this page and this page

I know R&S is Bible Story readers and yet CLE's readers look like good character builing stories that I know DS would also benefit from.

again decisions decisions

Beyond by HOD update

Posted in HomeSchooling
Since the Fall Feasts ended, my son and I have been doubling up on weeks in Beyond so we can move on a little faster and get back to AmbleSide.  ((that's if we still have internet connection, I find AmbleSide may be daunting with artist/composer and other etexts to do w/o access from home...my other considerations are Rod & Staff, Christian Light, or WP, SL, or BF to stay literature based  ...  and/or BJU or Abeka DVD's if I have to get a job))

Today we were reading the history section for Unit 26 Day 3 and I found it fascinating and such a G-D thing that it would mention President Washington going to St. Paul Chapel on Broadway because earlier this morning as I was walking my mile on the treadmill, I was listening to Pastor Mark out in Colorado and I only heard the first 6 minutes of the message ((which I'll continue thursday when I walk another mile as wednesdays are weight training days)) and he too said something about that event.

Ian -- or an update to a prayer request on the right side

Posted in Family Life
Baby Ian is 7 months old, weighing 10 pounds and 2 ounces, and just one tiny hole in his heart still to close and some artery or vein the doctors would like to see bigger ... so Baruch HaShem and continued prayer coverage for this little guy that I got to hold yesterday.


Here he is with his momma:


Here's my baby holding her baby:


and here's me holding Ian:


And Sukkot Greetings as we take 7 "school" days off and just do Bible reading pertaining to Sukkot, fun read-a-louds and fun Sukkot/Autumn activities.

Year 1.5 Week 9

Posted in HomeSchooling

Betcha thought I forgot about posting...well I did in a way. 

Not much to share.  We finished A Lion to Guard Us and yes each week of new spelling words I still combined the 2 lists to make a personalized one for DS.  We've started on Historical Fiction for storytime and since I have a copy of Little House in the Big Woods, that's what we'll use.  DS really like The Big Balloon Race reader.  Really enjoying the emerging reader book suggestions.

Here's a craft/science photo.  It's a starfish....we used pearled barley and flaxseeds to give it texture

This week we reviewed the memory verses we've learned so far and read a cool book about Dolphins.  The neighbor boy who spends most of his weeks with us will be starting 7th grade on moon day so he'll be gone most of the day.  Here's a couple of photos from this week.  Sorry I'm not more chatty about this week.

Daytime Curfews?

Posted in HomeSchooling

 

There is a city not far from here that held a meeting yesterday to vote on a daytime curfew.  If it passes, the proposal would set a daytime curfew for children ages 6 to 16. The curfew would be in effect from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.

 

any other homeschoolers feathers get ruffled at that?

 

this city already has truancy laws but they say this will allow them to stop anyone who looks to be in that age range ... gee that means even I an adult will get stopped because I look young.

 

apparently another city, also near by, already has such a law ... good thing we don't go over there....funny thing is these two cities are on the small side...how come the small cities are more concerned about kids skipping school causing trouble than the large ones are?

 

Still praying for another child

 

May YHVH bless thee, and keep thee:

May YHVH lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee Shalom.

This week we started an adventure book.  DS7 enjoyed the treasure hunt activity to introduce the genre.  We chose A Lion to Guard Us to read.  We also read the extra books as listed in the emerging readers section --- not the early Bible but like this week was Snowshoe Thompson and next week is Dolphins.

earlier today we went to an historic place not to far from us with the neighbor boy and my Intro to Jewish Roots class instructor, his wife, and 2 of their granddaughters.

photos for your enjoyment:

Here are the kids at sailboat cove, a stop over before our destination:

Here the boys are talking to Moses, that 9 year old ox:

Here's the mercantile - and yes they have Ray's arithmetic and other period textbooks for sale....and he really enjoyed my new fangled camera dilly said he heard there were a team of people in there and it didn't need flash powder:

Some highlights from our week:

Smushed Spelling on moon day

 

twos day: the water drops on a coin project was a hit!  the 13 year old neighbor got 27 drops and DS who was still 6 at this point got 21.  They wanted to try again the next day and the neighbor boy got 39 drops.

 

windy day: the math sentence meadow scene, sure ya can tell which boy's paper is which

thirsty day:  Birthday day!! and our last day with Benjamin West ((he was due back at the library so we had to read it in 19 days not 20))  we enjoyed learning about Friend West.

This week was a good one as well.  There was a story in the pilgrims book ((which I knew up front would not be a fave of mine and therefore held the right to edit as I read aloud)) and they used the words Sabbath and sunny-day interchangably, while I just stuck with Sabbath because Shabbat is the 7th day of the week, please see Geneses chapter 2 and not the westminster catechism....ok back to week 3

DS really enjoyed the game of the king's court or prison this week.

for your enjoyment we have photos of our wall at Scrooby Inn,  our backyard scene for math when we counted fireflies, and our meshed spelling list 3, and a sample sentence from our grammar section.

 

 

 

 

 

And last week about 5ish on 7/18 DS lost his first tooth, which was his second loose tooth...and earlier this week on 7/21 about 9ish DS started to eat a snack and instead of being able to eat it ..well take a look

 

 

How does our young sir feel about losing some baby teeth?

 

oh and maybe Benjamin West has been an inspiration because here's a photo DS just had to take of the sky

As previously stated for the next 34 weeks we will be using Beyond by Heart of Dakota.

this week we really enjoyed the activities and also really liking the biography we chose to read for storytime Benjamin West and his cat Grimalkin ... such a sweet story .... although the Indians hollering Amen seemed out of character ...really reaching for that chrischun overtone .... but at least the Indians smoked, which would have been more true to character.  And that was my fave chapter when the Indians showed him how to make red and yellow paint.

I'll post a picture later ... I need to save space on the camera for tonight as my good friend is giving her testimony at Shabbat Service and I'm going to record it on the digicam.  So stay tuned for the geography activity from day 3 of this week.

 ETA:

our geography activity DS's, the 13 year old neighbor boys, and mine

 

the cross represents where Sally stopped to pray.

next up my mixed together spelling list for DS this week

and DS also got his second loose tooth earlier this week, his first loose tooth has been loose for a while.  I told him I thought the second loose tooth would fall out first and yesterday about 5ish as we were eating tacos/burritos for dinner we had to pause and here's the result ((the other one beside it on the middle bottom has been loose for 3-4 weeks))

May YHVH bless thee, and keep thee:
May YHVH make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:
May YHVH lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee Shalom.

Maybe it's just me

Posted in TTC_2 Journey
but I've been praying for another child since june 2002 and even my son prays to be a big brother. I've recently had to endure the news of several pregnancies, including my sister in law ...I know for many it's a first baby but for a few it's a 2nd or 5th or even an 18th ...

i'm feeling very blue and unloved

Let me just say upfront that I am still an all about Charlotte Mason and AmbleSide momma.  My son however was showing how bored he was with just reading and narrating.  I still find it to be the best way to remember things though and was able to find something we will use for 34 weeks as a way to bring in the activities for a wiggly boy and also extra time for him to work on his 3 R's.

 

We're using Beyond by Heart of Dakota.  We will finish unit 1 day 5 today.  DS6 really enjoyed the science times and math activities.  Today we get to make a shield to remember who protects us, that'd be YHVH.  We will use the above image for Psalm 18:2 - The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.

 ETA 7.15.08: When it came to the spelling lists I combined a few words from each.  I did not require any other copywork other than the words and/or sentences with the words because I knew DS would balk at having to copy the poem and I didn't have him put the poem in order because his reading skills are not that good ...yet ... weekly chipping away at it though.

    About Me

    Charlotte Mason style Home Education Journey with One Dear Son who is praying to be a big brother and soon!

    "He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD."-Psalm 113:9

    "And all thy children shall be taught of the LORD; and great shall be the peace of thy children." Isaiah 54:13

    "I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth." --III John verse 4

    Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding. ---Proverbs 4:7

    And the LORD visited Hannah, so that she conceived, and bare three sons and two daughters. And the child Samuel grew before the LORD. --I Samuel 2:21

    Praise be to YHVH who is weekly bringing those who hunger and thirst for the whole WORD, not just what the church says is important....did you know the first century and then some Believers knew that accepting the Messiah meant being grafted in to the Hebrew faith? They didn't want to be called gentiles. Paul was always trying to show the physical and non-physical Jews that they were all Jews spiritually. He many times said the law is not void and I know those of you out there who say you are saved live by the 10 commandments and of course the summary of Messiah's own words to love YHVH and then our neighbor....both just ways of summing up all of Torah which really just expounds on the TEN. It wasn't until those in authority started saying any caught Judaizing will be put to death that we stopped observing the true Sabbath and stopped keeping the Feasts and started saying things like the NLT says in Ephesians 2:15 that the Jewish law/system has been done away with...that's misleading. The only thing done away with was the animal sacrifice needed to cover sins. Yeshua doesn't just cover them, HE forgives them. What a truly AWESOME YHVH we serve!!! I pray everyone's ears and eyes would be opened to desire to know and seek out the whole TRUTH and not just blindly follow church leaders.

    Praise Report:

    thankful to have a DH and a DS. my guys!!

    Back when I watched my cousins 4th child- Roger - I didn't think I was all that nice to him. But he's seen my and DS's picture at Nanna's and he says "that boy would not share his toys and his mommy told him that is not nice. I like his mommy she was very nice to me" :smile:

    Prayer:

    Unsaved loved ones to find/or to turn back to Yeshua. For Yeshua to reveal to them the truth of Hebrew Roots so we can be in one accord. See I Corinthians 1:10

    and if it's not too much to ask...I've had to endure hearing about several pregnancy announcements and birth announcements recently. I feel like I am dying inside. The pain is enormous. I really just want more children and HIS Word says they are the best type of physical blessing. I am not asking for riches or material things. I know all HE has to do is think/speak my body into being a "baby making machine" and it would be done. Praying for a miracle.
