Homeschool Class Pictures 2010: the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

August 27, 2010

I’m not sure why it took a homeschool meme last year to make me realize the importance of homeschool class pictures, but now my biggest regret is that we don’t have them for the first 16 years of our homeschool. This is the beginning of year 18 for us and our second year of class [...]

the last thing you’ll ever eat…

March 31, 2010

The “Kid Funnies” category of my blog has been woefully neglected lately, that place where I dump choice nuggets that come from my kids’ mouths and other goodies I don’t want to forget.

A Child’s Brain is Like a Sponge: Don’t Discount the Memory Work

October 28, 2009

If asked, I can quote the exact dictionary definition of hypothesis; a conversational dialogue from the first week of high school French; and the most difficult to pronounce sentence assigned to me in college Russian. Why? I had to memorize them. Young children have fresh and powerful memories; they are capable of progressing from crying [...]
