Always good to see as much, as a parent myself. <br /><br />Good deal.<br /><br />Funny story: I remember when my youngest daughter couldn&#39;t read and she&#39;d sit on the couch with a book, pretending to read (trying to be like her older sister) and would have everyone in stitches!

I spent so many years hating my home and wishing for another home. It was not productive and did not serve me well. I really need to get moving on the renovation. Honestly, I am afraid to get started. I want to start and finish it quickly and the person we have used before was not concerned with speed or quality so I am nervous to seek out help for the project. I will keep everyone up to speed though.My name is Tiffanyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04032902778606328411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4017295780259292093.post-43744212185390256472012-02-06T15:18:06.340-06:002012-02-06T15:18:06.340-06:00I love the activities you made - those look like great ideas!

I do not think I will use reading next year. I feel that I want to do more reading of real books and less read to answer the questions type work. I am not sure if I will use the LA again next year. I like the way LA looks but I don&#39;t like all the diacritical marks. That is going to make me crazy. So I am considering R&amp;S English for next year. Also I would like him to have more writing on real paper and less fill in the blank on the workbook page writing. KWIM? I can&#39;t wait for the makeover. I am looking forward to more space, a more streamlined clean look,less clutter and bulky furniture. We have quite a bit to do so I am not sure if I will wait until spring break to start the project. IWe are removing carpet, painting and redoing the downstairs bath next to the classroom as well.My name is Tiffanyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04032902778606328411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4017295780259292093.post-10999956610912606032012-02-04T15:01:42.375-06:002012-02-04T15:01:42.375-06:00Great books on your list! How do you like the CLE reading? Do you use the CLE LA too? We use LA and I have been thinking about the reading program for when we finish OPGTR, but your sample looks very similar to the LA. I&#39;d love to know what you think.<br /><br />Can&#39;t wait to see your IKEA makeover!!! I am really enjoying ours - the streamlined organization makes me feel good!

Loved it. <br /><br />And spirited emotion such as yours is the reason why I am QUICK to serve reminders to America (through semi-intelligent conversation) of the many atrocities committed on behalf of not only ancestors, but mere human beings in general. <br /><br />Regardless of who the topic makes &quot;uncomfortable.&quot;<br /><br />It is the reason why my heart and mind LISTENS to the teachings of Malcolm X, Louis Farrakhan, Sister Souljah, amongst others. A fact which causes many whites AND blacks to become somewhat unearthed.<br /><br />The TRUTH remains - if one truly understands the history of slavery, he or she could never refuse to stand and, not only speak out, but, take full advantage of being beneficiaries of those who dedicated their entire lives to civil and equal rights. <br /><br />The way I see it - there is too much fire inside the stove for one to NOT become aroused (even) at the mere thought of slavery.<br /><br />Great prose.Donhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02904024507867487521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4017295780259292093.post-48642254708626056542012-01-22T18:18:18.434-06:002012-01-22T18:18:18.434-06:00Ooooh, archery...looks like fun!

We didn&#39;t participate in our classes last &quot;semester&quot; for a bunch of different reasons, and I was pretty happy to have that time to do all of the other things we needed to do. BUT - I knew my kids missed it. We are going back now. Sometimes just your presence there is enough to encourage other moms who may not want to be there.....just my 2 cents :)Mrs. Whttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01319952187862980340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4017295780259292093.post-76613817264296827072012-01-21T09:47:35.582-06:002012-01-21T09:47:35.582-06:00My son would absolutely love archery lessons.
