First Day ~ April 2014

By


How was your April Fool's Day? Did you pull over any good ones on unsuspecting family or friends? I had a little fun with the kids during our school work, but nothing drastic. Here is how we spent our first day of April. Join Nicole at Journey to Josie to share yours.

A little iPad fun before breakfast.

We'll have something with chicken ...

That's what I need, TWO of me to get everything done.

My morning cup 'o "joe" (I miss coffee!)

Texting with the honey.

Can I get on your lap, mom?

Math.

We are having octopus and fish for lunch … April Fools!

The last book in the Lily Lapp series.

Thumbs up on the octopus, mom!

Answer the questions to find out what you will be when you grow up.

A Goldfish Wrangler or a Space Officer? April Fools! Brynne did say she wished she could be a Popcorn Scientist. 

Why can't I figure out this maze? Oh, there is no solution … April Fools!

Packing for our trip to Florida.

Happy 13th birthday, Clifford! We hope you had a restful day!

Heading to the hospital to meet Kyndal in the ER.

Needed some sweet tea  for the road.

We were just here a few months ago for a collapsed lung … is it happening again?

False alarm .. thank goodness!

She is reading a real live book! 

Dawson's soda can pyramid on the landing of the stairs up to his room. It falls down about every day.

Dawson and Taylar hanging out after dinner.

Brynne and I watched an episode on Netflix.

Ahh … some quiet computer time in bed.

Night everybody! See that antacid right there? I haven't had to take any since last Thursday!!!! Yay!

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.

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...
