Homeschooling Qualifications
Someone was put down by a friend of a friend on Facebook when she asked publicly for advice for her first day of homeschooling. This person happens to be a teacher and stated that he/she “spend[s] every waking moment trying to think of ways to get the exceptional ones to reach a little higher and …

What a terrific day!
H had such a productive day today! She was sick all day yesterday, and was still pretty stuffed up this morning, so I thought for sure she would take a sick day. But she insisted that she attend school. Apparently all of the rest she got yesterday did wonders for her focus and her stamina. …

Sneak Peek of the Workboxes
We’re out of town all this week, and our workboxes are not done, but here’s a little sneak peek of our cards and strips. The yellow strips belong to K and the pink strips are H’s. They don’t quite get the whole workbox system, but K, at least, seems really excited to get started.
