Read Aloud Challenge May 12th

-

This was not a good week for us for reading aloud.  We just didn’t get to it.  I did start a couple of books this week:

This is Tailorbear’s Read Aloud for her Sonlight Core 4 (now called Core E), In Search of the Source, by Neil Anderson.  It’s a true story of how the Folopa people received their the Bible in their own language.  This is my third time reading it aloud and I am enjoying it as much this time as I did when I read first to BooBear and next to Turtlegirl.  The other girls are allowed to listen in as well but it is only required listening for TailorBear.  We’ve really only really just started it.  I am hoping for some nice weather so Tailorbear and I can go outside to read together.

I’ve started a new Yesterday’s Classics book to Supergirl.  Dooryard Stories by Gudrun Thorne-Thomsen.  This is going to be our “Wednesday wait in the van for her sisters to come out from piano lessons” book.  Since it’s on my Nook it will be easy to just bring it along and it gives us something to look forward to on Wednesdays.

We still have our other books, we just haven’t opened them this week.  Hopefully, I’ll get more of a schedule/routine built up and we’ll get more reading aloud time done.

    I really appreciate that you are posting even when it wasn't a stellar week.

    I HAVE to start using some of the Yesterday's Classics titles with my little two. I'm using a lot of the medieval resources in a hit or miss supplementary style with the middle two. So what would you recommend for Richard/Trina?

Blog Celebration Giveaway!

I’ve been looking for an excuse to host a give a way.  I thought oh I’ll do a giveaway when I reach 100 followers!  And then suddenly I had over a hundred. Then I thought ‘why don’t I celebrate when I’ve written 100 posts?’  Typical of me, I didn’t pay attention and I went right on writing past 100. So now, I’m thinking I’ve got to do a Give-A-Away this week because of the Ultimate Blog Party .   (You can read my Blog Party Introduction post here .) So I look at my post count this morning and I realize that THIS POST is my 150th Blog Post! So now, I’ll just *have* to give something away.  But what?  What can I give away?  I know.. Coffee!   I’d serve coffee (or tea) if you were sitting here with me in my dinning room chatting so here’s your chance to win a $15 Starbucks Coffee Gift Card To enter leave a comment.   I’ll use a random method (such as random.org) to choose a winner.  Winner will be announced April 9th! ...

HAPPY NEW YEAR! NEW START - NEW YEAR - NEW LOOK!

Happy New Year!  With the New Year, I opted to change the look of my blog.  It's currently a work in progress and Tailorbear is doing some design work for me. It's been about a year since I last posted.  I wasn't sure where I wanted to go with blogging.  Did I want to continue to blog?  What would write?   Then I found inspiration. It's a long story and I'll share it - bit by bit - going forward.  I am still passionate about education.  While BooBear, TurtleGirl, and Tailorbear are now busy being adults,  Supergirl continues with her "homeschooling."  As our special needs, medically fragile, miracle girl, she continues to amaze us, and we continue our commitment to keep homeschooling as long as she is interested and still making progress.   I will continue to blog about homeschooling-related topics. However,  I am most excited about blogging about my health journey. I want to share what I am learning!  I'm inspir...
