Quarter Mile Math Review

Posted in Homeschooling, and Reviews

Munchkin is good with math, but she does her math very slowly. She hates timed drills and quickly grows frustrated when she can’t think of the answers to simple problems during the drill. We’ve tried various methods to get over this issue, but nothing has really worked. We had tried a demo of The Quarter Mile Math a few years ago, but I had forgotten about it due to moving shortly after trying out the product. When The Quarter Mile Math package arrived in the mail, Munchkin exclaimed, “Hey, it’s the horse race program.” Obviously, the program had made an…

Evening Prayer

Posted in Thoughts

Continuation of David’s prayers from last Sunday. Psalm 4 1 Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness! You have given me relief when I was in distress. Be gracious to me and hear my prayer! 2 O men, how long shall my honor be turned into shame? How long will you love vain words and seek after lies? Selah 3 But know that the LORD has set apart the godly for himself; the LORD hears when I call to him. 4 Be angry, and do not sin; ponder in your own hearts on your beds, and be…

Growing Up & Responsibility

Posted in Thoughts

A few weeks ago, Munchkin pet sat for our neighbors for 3 days. They were quite pleased with the job that she had done. She loved the responsibility and pride that came with working hard and earning her own money. When she found out that they would need someone to take care of their pets for 2 weeks, she jumped at the opportunity. They weren’t planning on asking her as they thought it would be too much for someone her age, so they were pleased when she volunteered. (They verified with me that it wouldn’t be too much for her…

Glimpse at Our Classroom

Posted in Homeschooling

Here are a few pictures from our new school area. The white desk is a built in desk that was in the house. D made the cubbie unit for me. We start the day here. You can’t see it due to the black chair (my chair), but there is a computer monitor. That is where Munchkin does most of her computer work. She will also do some of her work on the laptop. These carts house our lapbooking supplies as well as other school supplies. Munchkin likes to sit in the window seat to do her work that doesn’t require…

Homeschool Open House 2009

Posted in Commercial Break

It’s that time of the year again where everyone is getting ready for the new school year. School supplies are on sale (I love stocking up for the year at these prices!!), and kids are actually excited about buying their new “goodies”. Only, we’ve already been doing school for a while here. Since we took time off before, during, and after the move, we decided that we needed to get back to our regular schooling routine. Any time we take time off, I gradually add everything back to the schedule. Munchkin does better if I allow her to get use…
