I'm so glad you stumb...LOVE the airplane quilt! I'm so glad you stumbled on my blog, or I on yours, and we can encourage and spur each other on in the quilting projects. I know you inspire me, at least! <br /><br />The banana chocolate cake looks like a really neat treat; would you ever post the recipe?<br /><br />School goals....I would LOVE for my 6.5 yr old to start learning to read this year. -sigh- I am hoping I have him up to a beginning K level of reading by the end of the year. Seriously, I'll take "The cat sat on the mat" if we get there this year. He's brilliant in many ways, but not in any traditional way at all. Would also be nice if he could remember the order of numbers beyond 17. A friend posted that her I think 4 yr old counted to 100 with no help recently. Ugh. <br /><br />For the other boys -- a firm grasp of Algebra for the oldest, and the confidence to write more than a sentence at a time for the 10 yr old. When he does write, it's pretty good. He's reluctant though and a sentence at a time is usually all I get. <br /><br />And, LOL at the red pens. Maybe I should turn in my school supply list to my students' parent and see what DH will buy me for our homeschool, LOL! It works for public/private school, right...?!

Zoe had to bring in disinfectant wipes, a pencil case, and a folder for homework and take-home items. I am a bit perplexed at the amount of red pens needed per child.

Who wouldn't be?!<br /><br />I am homeschooling my 12-year-old son after he's spent six years in the public school system. We're three weeks in, and I'm finding that I'm undoing a couple of habits he's acquired over the years; not to mention that I'm also teaching him some skills I thought he would have already.<br /><br />As for the younger two who are still in elementary, I just want them to have a successful year in which they build and develop their skills.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10853161390827755896noreply@blogger.com
