I guess you could call me a "Binder Queen" wanna be. Cindy Rushton has a book entitled Notebooking! Yes! You Can Be a Binder Queen Too!. I think to qualify as a Binder Queen the binders have to be full! I have been working on sorting, filing, and discarding our papers from this year. I have…
Woohoo! We are finished! To mark the end of the year, the kids each ran around the house the number of times for the grade they had just completed. So ds ran around 4 times and dd 2 times. The rest of us tried to keep cool. It’s 93 today! I have added a school…
We’re in our last week of school! We have just a few things to finish up and then we will be taking a break for the rest of June. I am planning a Physics (Forces and Motion) unit for July and we will be starting Tapestry of Grace Year 1 the first week in August. …
I got my box with my Tapestry of Grace Year 1 in it last Friday. I am really excited. I love it! I am trying to go easy on it, but boy is it tough! I have only opened Unit 1 so far. I have looked through it trying to decide which books to buy. …

We decided several months ago to use Tapestry of Grace Year 1 next year. I am very excited about it. I am going to be involved in a small co-op (5 families) meeting every other week. We’ve never been in a co-op before so it will be a new experience for us. The kids are…
This week I gave my older son the Iowa Test of Basic Skills and the CogAT. We took 4 mornings, but we are DONE! He did really well and for the most part had a great attitude about testing. He typically likes testing better than actual school. I guess because it’s easy for him. My…
Last Friday, our local homeschool group sponsored “Around the World Night”. This was the first year we participated. We chose Madagascar for our country. Actually my husband picked it because it was unusual and had interesting animals to study. We used pictures from Enchanted Learning for a Ring-tailed lemur and a chameleon. We found a…
