Seeking Contentment: Homeschooling Middle School
http://itsmelanie.blogspot.com/2014/01/homeschooling-middle-school.html
Friday, January 17, 2014. I posted what the oldest does for school a couple of weeks ago. I also have a middle schooler, and one in elementary, and thought I'd share what they're doing, both for my future reference, and for the fun of it! The middle one is in seventh grade! Not quite sure how that happened so fast! Schooling this one is definitely different from schooling her older sister. The curriculum is mostly the same, but the methods are not! She is also using Heart of Dakota. She also uses IEW.

Tuesday, April 1, 2014. And then THIS happened. I bragged on the middle one last week. This week it's time for the oldest. This girl has the strongest work ethic! I'm not really sure how that happened! She works hard, regularly, at lots of things. She spends half of her days on Wednesdays making meals at church. She and her father deliver meals to a couple of homebound people every week. She has developed relationships with these ladies and is blessed by them and is a blessing to them. Days of Our Lives.

Seeking Contentment: Finding What They Love and Do Well
http://itsmelanie.blogspot.com/2014/03/finding-what-they-love-and-do-well.html
Tuesday, March 25, 2014. Finding What They Love and Do Well. I think it's hard to be the middle one, especially when the middle and oldest are both girls. Especially when the oldest one has an ability that is noticeable. I think the middle one tends to live in the shadow of the oldest one. This is really a bit ridiculous, especially in my family, because my oldest and middle are NIGHT AND DAY. Seriously. A new black belt! I'm not saying "everyone go out right now and enroll your child in Taekwondo! I lov...

Tuesday, May 27, 2014. The 2014/2015 School Year. The Oldest. Next year's stuff, waiting to go on the shelf when this year's stuff comes off! As we wrap up the 2013/14 school year, it's time for my favorite part! Planning and buying and getting ready for next year! I still need to tweak the calendar some to figure out when to start, but for now our basic plan will look like this:. Monday - half a day of co-op, then geometry, writing, and Spanish. Tuesday - co-op all day. Will cover more history (actually...

Seeking Contentment: Homeschooling in High School
http://itsmelanie.blogspot.com/2014/01/homeschooling-in-high-school.html
Friday, January 10, 2014. Homeschooling in High School. The oldest is in tenth grade now. Because what says First Day of School better than Starbucks and PJ's? And now, however many years later, here we are. I was so worried when high school began! We are still using our beloved Heart of Dakota. Curriculum. This year she is doing Missions to Modern Marvels. And we are both enjoying it. Right now we are on the cusp of the Great Depression. We are still using Teaching Textbooks. Currently in Algebra 2.

Saturday, December 24, 2011. Friday, December 2, 2011. Home Again, and Giggling. First, thank you all for the concern and prayers regarding my last post. I really am doing okay, it's just that some days are hard. I know you all know what I mean. We got home safely, and I really just have a minute to post, but I am totally giggling and have to share. Not gonna happen. Sorry, nephew. Now I can't stop giggling at the Christmas/Halloween tree. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Days of Our Lives. Show Us The World.

Thursday, July 26, 2012. The Latest Round of Excuses. It seems like the sole purpose of my blog lately is to list my excuses for not blogging. It is almost to the point where I'm having to make more effort to come up with excuses than it would to just blog. So here we go. The stuff is all GOOD. VBS, trips to visit family, camps, appointments, classes. Oh, and let's throw a major home improvement project into the mix, because we wouldn't want to take a chance on life being boring. Days of Our Lives.

Sittin' on the Deck. Tuesday, November 15, 2011. FEAR FACTOR IS BACK! Anyone else a weirdo like I am? Sunday, November 13, 2011. Here we are in another week of November. I still can't believe how fast time is going by. Here are some blessings that I am thankful for this week. 1 That the internet is now working. We are very spoiled, aren't we? 2 That we have only had one very short snow fall so far and it didn't stick! 4 That the cat has peed INSIDE the litter box for over a week! Tuesday, November 8, 2011.
