Well, this was our first week back doing a full day of studies. How did it go? I would give it a 7. Even though I know the kids didn't want to begin again, they did without any problems. The first 3 days went well with all subjects being covered, except one day of reading. On ...

I had planned on doing weekly reviews this year, but our days seem so alike. I feel like I will just be repeating myself. I guess with the Robinson Curriculum, the days pretty much look the same. Math Writing Reading Science, a more textbook approach which I added this year. So that I don't neglect my blog any further, I shall ...

The kids did better this week with the kittens still being around. The kittens are now interested in solid food, so we are going to give them another week or two before we begin to give them away. We decided to keep one, the one the kids call Fuzzy. I think we will rename him ...

Last week, we bought all the candy needed to make the edible cell. Donnie helped me make the jello. They came out nice. Some of the candies, I think the m&m's and skittles, color ran, but no biggie. We used a Riesen for the center, because we didn't have a gum ball. We always have Riesens lying ...

  The kids are on week four of their roots for English From The Roots Up, so we decided to play a few games. The kids tried all the games on the list and even added Go Fish. I played a few with them. They did better than I did! We changed the 'Cross the River' game a little ...
