First Progress Report

By

Dawson got his first progress report this week. He has mostly A's, with a couple of B+'s (87%-89% .. and one of those is PE for not dressing out a couple of days). His A's are in all of his difficult classes, so I am VERY proud of him! He is determined to get his B's up to A's because he wants to get all A's this quarter. So far public school has been very good for him.

Dawson was so proud of his first progress report that he put it on the refrigerator for all to see!


He has made a couple of good friends and even has his eye on a girl! He's playing it cool, though. Although he has not ever been one to get too involved in activities, he says that he is considering running track in the spring. I think that would be great.

I am looking forward to a continued good year for him.

      Yes, Jessy, those are AAS tiles! Dawson has a ball with them. Every day he tries to build a phrase using just the available letters. It can be entertaining.

CTC Math {Schoolhouse Review}

By
We found our groove with math this year. I found a curriculum that both of the kids respond well to and seem to enjoy (as much as one can enjoy math). We have spent the whole year learning the ins and outs of multiplication and were just a few lessons away from being ready to move onto the next year-long level on division. And then an opportunity to review the 12 Month Family Plan from  CTC Math became available. To be honest, I wasn't very enthusiastic. I mean, why mess with the methods that have worked so well? When I was chosen to review the product I didn't go into it with the level of enthusiasm that it deserved. We have been using a dvd/workbook curriculum with great success. The 12 Month Family Plan from CTC Math is a web based curriculum. As we have not had a lot of luck with those types of programs, I went into this review with a negative attitude. And then my socks were knocked off by how great it is. In fact it is so great that we are going to continue to ...

Veritas Press Self-Paced History: Old Testament and Ancient Egypt (Schoolhouse Review)

By
For the past several weeks we have been reviewing Veritas Press Self-Paced History: Old Testament and Ancient Egypt and the Old Testament and Ancient Egypt Flashcards  from Veritas Press . As we were entering into our more easy-going summer schedule, and had just concluded a two-year Old Testament Bible course, I was happy to try out this product as it appeared to be something that Eli and Brynne could do together, alone, and would act as a review of the Old Testament presented in a different way. And I was right. Each Veritas Press Self-Paced History program includes 160 lessons teaching about 32 events in history. They are designed for children in grades 2-6, and it is recommended that the student be a minimum of 7 years of age at the time of the first lesson. What We Received We received a full one-year subscription, for one child, to the online Veritas Press Self-Paced History: Old Testament and Ancient Egypt program and the accompanying Old Testament and Ancien...
