I'm trying to get started on planning for the new school year, I already have some material, and Friday I was able to get a couple more items to add to my bounty. I need to sit down and make a list of what needs to be purchased or borrowed from the library. Today I received an e-mail from the good folks at Knowledge Quest about scheduling, my interest was peaked when I saw Scheduling the Easy Way! 5 Step Plan.
The e-mail went on to include 5 Essential Ingredients to Homeschooling Success, I surely want and need all the help I can get, so I read this blog entry from Terri Johnson. Don't you love how the Lord will just place things right in front of you, so you can't miss them and you say, "Boy did I need to read/hear that today!" It helps to have these reminders, they give me an extra boost and motivate me to just dive in and start making some sort of progress. Be sure to take a look at both articles, neither are long, they may help you get a jump start to planning for the upcoming school year.
Here is Nicole my rising 5th grader working on her Math today.
And Gene, my rising 7th grader working on his final spelling for this school year.
The birds have been camera shy for the last few days, so I haven't been able to get any good shots. The other day I was watching a male cardinal give food to a chick - are they called chicks when they are almost the same size as the adult? Anyway the little chick would shake her feathers, it really looked like she was trembling, and the male cardinal would give her some bird seed, they were so adorable, the pictures didn't turn out that great, but you can get the idea.
Here is a male cardinal that I saw today.
