The Bird's Nest: April 2009
http://motherbird-nest.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 29, 2009. So we are almost at the end of our third (! Year of homeschooling. Wow! This has been such an interesting journey and a wonderful blessing.

The Bird's Nest: January 2009
http://motherbird-nest.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 20, 2009. We concentrated on History today in our homeschool. History in the making! What an exciting day for our country! Monday, January 19, 2009. But I also love Martin Luther King Jr. day. I really love a holiday that celebrates a man, a movement, that changed the world using nonviolence and peaceful protest! We could read books about him, watch MLK videos on Youtube, etc. But that sounds boring (well, sort of.). Tuesday, January 13, 2009. Trying to ward off a bad case of cabin fever...
