2012 Project 365 Day 039
Today was a rainy day that did not inspire pictures. However, as the daylight faded I came up with the idea of shooting bedtime and including myself in the photo, something I want to do every week or two. We read together every night. Usually Ian chooses a book or three for me to read [...]
new page on my blog: How Caroline Learned to Read
I just wanted to announce a new page on my blog because pages are less noticeable than posts. How Caroline Learned to Read
How many books do you have?
I have over 1500 children’s books. I know because in the late 90s, I was teaching and, imagining the future children I hoped to have, collecting books mostly via the Scholastic book clubs I sent home with my students, and I created a database of all of ones I had then. They numbered 1500 then. [...]
Postaday #37
Could you live without the internet for a week? For a month? Well, I have lived without the internet for week. It was difficult, but I survived. I do have plenty of things I’d like to do. Most of my favorite things do use the internet — photography, scrapbooking, reading, studying, getting inspired, and communicating [...]
Project 365 Day 29, 30, 31, and 32!
I have taken pictures! I just haven’t posted in my blog. I’m thinking of starting a new blog. I need to create a watermark to protect my photos since I can’t right-click protect them here. Or maybe I’ll start sharing my Project 365 photos on my Smugmug, where I can right-click protect. I just like [...]
unschooling
I’ve been moving a little away from unschooling since this academic year began. We’re still far, far away from being schooly, but I’ve been asking Rhiannon to do some math almost every day, and just generally trying to establish a “study hour” or work-before-play routine. I really want to trust that my kids will learn [...]
Friday Fill In
#176 1. I just had _a busy day of learning, laughing, snuggling, and scrapping. Ian is not only using the toilet, sometimes he even asks now! I remember some spelling, numbers, history, vocabulary, economics, and art happening, and I know there’s more I’ve forgotten. The plants vs. zombies game is causing a lot of laughter [...]
busy, mostly stay-at-home day
Rhiannon listened to more Story of the World today and announced that history is one of her favorite subjects. When I asked her just now to remind me whether she said most favorite, she said math is her other favorite. That reminds me, at one point she had pulled out a math workbook to work [...]
reading lessons at midnight
A while ago, when the kids were getting into bed, Caroline noticed the red Bob books lying the shelf. I had purchased them at the VAHomeschoolers Convention a couple of weeks ago but she wasn’t interested then. The books sat on the kids’ desk downstairs for several days, and then one day Caroline started carrying [...]
a new page: Learning to Read Without Schooling
After reading another great Peter Gray article, I was inspired to write a new page for my blog HERE. I’m just posting a blog entry so people will know!
