My musings on our homeschool, coop, figuring out what my educational philosophy is anyway, and will I ever make curtains for the rest of the appartment?
I sent in my ed plan this morning to the superintendent’s assistant’s office, but the real reason I know I’m starting a new chapter for summer is that I cut my hair. No one will notice because it still hits Continue reading Freshman year – only ONE student, sorta.
I was so proud to take the tape off the violin when my teacher said I didn’t need it anymore, back in 1986. K’s choir class was cancelled due to Covid. We finished the ocarina book. She asked nicely if Continue reading Tape back on
Last week was not much for Kitchen Table School. There were orthodontia visits, dental visits, an MRI (to figure out my headaches), the SAT while it could still be taken ( the coordinator thinks this will be the last window Continue reading More Mentoring and Chauffeuring; or how much I love having the older kids around
K got to hold two 3 month old puppies on her lap while sipping free Del’s Lemonaid. The puppies were cold, so K scooped them up onto her lap and they fell asleep. I got to show off how tall Continue reading 20 years of the Attleboro Community Garden

I meant to use the pattern blocks to show some multiplication with fractions (a hexagon is a whole, triangle a sixth, trapezoid a half, parallelogram a third). But it’s been a while since we’ve pulled out the blocks. I forgot Continue reading Pretty Blocks are Distracting but worth it
It was above freezing yesterday, since we’ve had temperatures below zero (F) that’s quite the temperature difference. We were charmed. And I didn’t want to set up a Mailchimp list for the testing coop, so K and I took a Continue reading Walk in the Snow and sunshine with K
I’m squishing half of American Government in for Matt this year, since we are up to the modern history. I kept seeing, “can you pass the US citizenship test,” on FB. Since the text book I bought for this section Continue reading Meme inspired homeschool
