As a child I loved starting school each fall. I was one of the rare few who cried when the school year ended. I loved smelling the new books, sharpening new pencils, looking at the crisp white pages of my notebooks. My kids enjoy doing the same thing. This year our school schedule has been […]
Wordfull Wednesday: My Favorite Teacher
The only light entering the room came through a narrow strip of window where the black construction paper taped to it did not quite reach the bottom. Even though 35 eighth graders were in the room there was silence save the scratchy male voice coming from the old record player…”If still you think me mad, […]

Next Wordfull Wednesday Topic for April 29
Last Friday I took the kids to the park to have a little “Poetry in the Park” for an hour. It was fun, relaxing, and enjoyable. I’ve never been drawn to poems much. Oh, I’ve read quite a few, studied some poets and their lives, etc. But poetry has never been a medium that “speaks” […]
Celebrating Fall
The question this week from the Heart of the Matter is: Halloween or Fall? How does your family celebrate? Growing up my family LOVED celebrating Halloween. I remember my dad making a haunted house for the trick-or-treaters in the old barn/shed behind our house in Salt Lake. Later when I was about 10 my dad […]

This week Heart of the Matter asked homeschool bloggers to participate in a video meme to introduce ourselves to one another. So here’s my sorry attempt. I won’t mention the fact that this was supposed to be posted yesterday. We just had so much going on with school, dental appointments and a bookmobile Halloween party […]
What Style of Learning Are You?
My friend Pec blogged about this site (scroll towards the bottom) where you can take a test to see which styles of learning suit you most. Very interesting results for me. When I think of learning styles I usually think of kinesthetic, linguistic, or spatial. I tend to try to fit myself and my children […]

Presidential Election Links
I though it would be fun to post some links where you can find out more about each candidate’s position, whose views align more with yours. Select a Candidate from MPR Radio – Here you can take a short survey answering questions on various issues. You can choose not to answer any of the questions […]
