Enough of the bad day-



We're moving on. :) Here are some pics of the girls doing a"learning time" activity. I think that this is actually a stalling technique of mine to avoid getting my homeschool act together. I need to figure out what I'm going to do. I have a vague idea, but that needs to be a lot more solid. Soon.

And I need to figure out what I'm going to do with Logan and Brooklyn while I'm doing school with Brighton. It's not going to take hours- more like one hour. I don't think kindergartend needs to be very intense. I'm making a goal to get on the phone with the other homeschooling moms in my ward and get it figured out by the end of the week!!

I was just hoping that your bad day wasn't still going on. :) I hope you enjoy figuring out school for Brighton!

P.S. My word verification is "embrieni." Seems like that should be a fancy term for multiple embryos.

I homeschooled three of my four for a few years, and completely agree that it does not need to be intense for kindergarten! I recommend the Well Trained Mind as a great starting point. I like the classical education approach they espouse, and the book has tons of curriculum, books and software reviews. Good luck!

I'm really excited to do some fun things this summer

An idea of how to incorporate music and art daily and easily (for almost free!)
