First Day ~ July

By


Join Nicole at Journey to Josie in her fun First Day linky. I was on the road coming back from Oklahoma for a few hours of the day, so there aren't a ton of pictures. Some of the ones I did take I took while driving, which isn't incredibly smart. But, what do you do?? Here is a small recap of our day ... July 1st.

Driving ... alone .. listening to music .. not a movie on the DVD player. Ahh ...

Driving ... alone .. taking pictures .. while driving.

And again ...

And again .. Welcome back to Missouri! Nice dirty windshield.

A stop off at Walmart for a couple of "necessities". Somehow two ferns made it in my cart.

Sitting on my parents' front porch waiting for my mom to come home ... alone ... again.

Had to stop and see this cutie .. my niece, Ashtyn. She'll be a YEAR OLD this week!

Eli and I went to Cub Scouts. He's a Webelos now. Learning about Citizenship.

I finally remembered to buy tomato cages. Now if I would just get some tomatoes!

Ending the night with some Wii (as always).

And a doggie (as always).

This isn't something you always see at our house ... an incubator for the chick eggs we get today!

      Well, we are hatching them but we can't keep them in city limits. So, they will be going to a friend after about a week. And I have a pretty garden, but if we don't get some consistent heat and sun I am only going to have pretty green leaves.

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...
