Tuesday Coffee Chat

This week's Tuesday Coffee Chat prompt is ...

And she's SAFE!

In our softball league this year, rules were changed to allow the girls to steal home .... but they have to slide if the ball is in play at the plate. At the first sliding practice the other night, Brynne had, ummmm, problems sliding. She developed a fear of it and was dreading last night's game because she knew she would have to slide.

I told her that it didn't have to be pretty, she just had to hit the dirt. And hit the dirt she did ... on both her knees ... and she crawled quickly to the plate and touched it to be safe.

I love this picture. She immediately turned around and looked at me in the dugout. I don't know if you can tell by her batting glove on the right hand and her shrugged shoulder, but she is basically saying "Well, at least I did it!"

Love it, and her!

    she looks so proud of herself! and she should be.... way to go. you just have to commit... and get a little dirty, right?!
    This brings back great memories. I was never afraid of sliding into home.... I played 3rd base and that was scary enough sometimes!

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...
