Overdoing It Part 2
Ok, here’s my list of subjects with the reality behind them: Geometry-We own shape blocks. Tiger sometimes using them to set up his own mini-golf course. Algebra-This is all about studying relationships that vary over time. I have this covered in the sibling rivalry category. Basic Mathematics-There are two cookies left. What do we do? Read more
Overdoing It
I have already admitted to serious overkill in the curricula category. Yes, I sometimes supplement my supplements. But, really, our school days are filled with twice as much free and imaginative play. I don’t feel like we’re overloaded. You might think so. But I think it’s all in the presentation. On a homeschool forum theRead more
Right Start Math Level A
We recently switched to Right Start Math. I went with Level A, knowing that some parts would not prove challenging to Curly, but hoping that Tiger could tag along some.

Planning Tapestry of Grace
We are using Tapestry of Grace this year. And we love it! The books are wonderful and there is enough information, project ideas, and mapwork to keep us very busy. My biggest problem is figuring out a way to plan Tapestry……to organize Tapestry…….to emerge from the TOG FOG. So, I’ve again revamped how I planRead more
Zoo Day
With (slightly) cooler weather, I have felt strong enough to brave the zoo. We made it to the zoo on one overcast day and were 1 of 5 people who were crazy enough to go. People down here think it’s cold! What is wrong with them?? Anyway, I enjoyed the absence of crowds. We beganRead more
