The Cross Family: Field Trips Starting!
http://k12family.blogspot.com/2010/09/field-trips-starting.html
Monday, September 27, 2010. One thing I love about K12 are the fabulous field trips. There's already been a couple activities, but October will give us the opportunity for an outing pretty much every week. That's one of the greatest advantages homeschooling offers, isn't it? And K12 does it beautifully. For Charlie to see a cardiologist who specializes in Marfan's syndrom. Then on Wednesday both the boys will see their allergist for help with asthma and allergies. Then the zoo on Friday. School Effective...

The Cross Family: Book Review ~ The Unmotivated Child
http://k12family.blogspot.com/2010/11/book-review-unmotivated-child.html
Tuesday, November 2, 2010. Book Review The Unmotivated Child. The Unmotivated Child: Helping Your Underachiever Become a Successful Student. My rating: 4 of 5 stars. I've read a lot of parenting books and a lot of schooling books (I school my two boys at home) and I've finally found the book that describes my child. He didn't quite fit with the ADD profiles, nor any of the other psychological acronyms that would help me understand why my boy would break down in tears over a math problem. The Unmotivated ...

The Cross Family: Happy Mom Moments
http://k12family.blogspot.com/2010/11/happy-mom-moments.html
Monday, November 8, 2010. This weekend we attended a Bobby Lawrence Karate. Tournament. The boys have taken karate for four years, even David and I did it for a couple years. Xander has competed at each of the two tournaments every years since they started. And for the first couple years, Charlie competed too. When it came time for Charlie to perform, I held my breath. I wanted so much for him and was so afraid for him. His turn came up. And Charlie did GREAT. And, he won third place for self-defense!

The Cross Family: February 2009
http://k12family.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 26, 2009. I am absolutely thrilled to announce that the reading bug has finally bitten Charlie! Something you may not know about me: I am a wannabe author, a full time writer, a dreamer, a nut. But the good news is that my obsession puts me in touch with tons of awesome authors and sometimes I get to read their stuff before the average book-store going, library book borrowing person gets to read them. . Such was the case with Xander. A Door In The Woods, and said, "Here, try this.".

The Cross Family: October 2010
http://k12family.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 25, 2010. I finally figured out Order of Operations! All this time, and the order of operations was a mystery to me. I almost always got them wrong, and when I didn't, I had no idea how I did it. You're kind of forced to face your own demons and step waaaayyy outside your comfort zone in order to help your child. I've learned more about grammar than I even knew existed. (Shh. Yes, I'm a writer, but I didn't know what it was called when I left a participle dangling! But now I know that and.

The Cross Family: April 2009
http://k12family.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 17, 2009. In any good relationship, it's all about the compromise. And home schooling is no different. You compromise when you'll do school and when you'll play. House work and school work. It's a relationship. Of agreements and compromise. And sometimes when we compromise, we have to give up something we'd hoped for and be happy with something else. . I really wanted to have all of our subjects completed to the required 80% by May 22 nd. I really enjoy home schooling, but I don't enjoy fee...

The Cross Family: June 2009
http://k12family.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 8, 2009. I apologize for being a fair-weather blogger. But probably my lack of blogging about our school experiences is a good indicator of what’s going on here. Nothing. Oh, we met our 80% benchmark and were able to put in our order for next year’s materials. However, we so far are not doing what I intended to do, and that was to continue. In the meantime, these are the things I’m thinking about:. Do some research into how to be a better homeschooling mom. LC. I think that might be the bigg...
