For the fourth week of the "Not Back to School" Blog Hop, we’re supposed to share about a typical day of school in our homes. We started our school year yesterday, and I’m purposely starting slowly. To be honest, when we started school yesterday, it seemed as if not a day had passed since we …
I confess that math drill, okay drill in general, has been a weak point in our homeschool. And I call myself a classical educator! I could give a million excuses, (not enough time, it’s boring, kids complain, I’m lazy….) but really none of them are good reasons to skimp on drill. I am especially sorry …
We’re starting our school year tomorrow! I don’t recall ever feeling quite so unready. I don’t know why I haven’t been able to get into planning mode this summer, but I didn’t do nearly as much as usual. I have worked out a daily schedule, but since we’re not starting with all our subjects this …
I have been blogging regularly for a couple of years. I soon realized that there were times when it would be very helpful to understand the source code. I learned a little by trial and error, but I still had no idea what all the code meant. That’s why I decided to take an on-line …

There are so many ways that field trips can aid in our children’s learning. Field Trips – Can …
I’ve had my laptop for a few months now. For the previous 9 years we had only 1 internet connected computer in the house. I had developed a reasonable system of organizing our computer files and e-mails on 1 computer, but the addition of the laptop has been confusing to me. Where should I store …
This is week three of the “Not Back-to-School Blog Hop” at My 3 Boybarians. I cheated a little and just linked to some of my past posts for the first two weeks. Week 1 was Curriculum Week and I shared our curriculum for next year here. I shared this post for Week 2 – Schoolroom …
I did much better this week! Here’s last week’s list with everything I did checked off. Now for this week: Complete school planning for new year. I checked this, but it really shouldn’t say for the YEAR. We’ve started school and I have some planning to do as we go along. Organize new bookshelf …
Periodically, I like to share some of my favorite hymns. We sung this hymn at our evening worship service, and it was a blessed reminder to me about the importance of prayer. The fifth and sixth verses are especially convicting to me. What various hindrances we meet In coming to a mercy seat; Yet who …
