Yeah! The weather is nice enough so I could put in the first planting of peas and lettuce. Whoo Hoo.
Hubby got me a 32 inch tv monitor and our little girl is always watching her dvd cartoons on on my computer when her classes are over. She loves sitting at my desk. Between the two pups and our little one, I have to grab FR time when I can get it.
About her homeschooling - everyone we know can see how she's improved since I began teaching her at home. Since she has a learning disability, at school was could use a calculator for math. Last year, when I first started her home schooling, she used a calculator to add 6+7. I Took it from her and told her, let's just see what you can do using your brain.
Since then, she has gone from using a calculator to add 6+7 to adding and subtracting problems such as 7,642 - 3,665.
I have to teach her by rote but it works. She can read second and some third grade books but she can read now. She's in the 5th grade. No where near her peers in academic level but we always knew she never would be. With part of her brain missing that's to be expected.
I am following the thread and it is a great one. I've added many links on it to my bookmarks.
