It looks like I’ve missed a week (or maybe 2) for To-Do Tuesday. I have found it really helpful making a list for everyone to see. I makes me feel more accountable to actually complete the items on my list! So, here’s this week’s list. Read Sue Patrick’s Workbox System and decide how to implement. …
I’m planning on having my son work one addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division problem daily just to to make sure that he remembers the methods. We’ve fought and fought over him doing most of his math in his head. It might not be so much of a problem if he got all the problems correct. …

This week I am going to post first a nicely checked list of the things that I can check off my list from last week. Then, I am posting a list of what I actually intend to get done this week. What I’ve finished: Purchase new book shelf. Complete chore plan for upcoming year. Write …
I have NOT made good progress on my list this week. I got some of my items finished, but some of them took a little more time than they should have. Clean out fishpond and stock with new fish. Can you tell, I REALLY don’t want to do this one? Finish weeding all the flower …
