A little of this and that, displayed with some twigs.
Did you know that in the state of Missouri, homeschoolers must teach reading as a separate subject? I don't know how anyone could homeschool well without teaching their child to read... but OK.
I got many of my ABeka books used and collected them over time. I'm glad I came across these readers early in my homeschooling years. It teaches children to read step-by-step. I don't think I've seen a more effective reading program for the elementary years. The children love the stories, and what I appreciate about them is that there is a rich and varied language even in simple-to-read books in this series.
My set is pretty old, and some are even from the 1960's and no longer listed in the reading series. I think if I had to do things over again somehow, I think I'd just spend on a curriculum set and be done with it. That's the thing, though, with homeschooling.

very pretty Mrs C. Re: vaccinations.. here if your kid isn't vaccinated they cannot go to school! Mine are all done... so they can go to school.... oh and are safe!
ReplyDeleteI'm actually not "anti" vax but want to space them out a bit and not do three of them (IPV, MMR and chicken pox).
ReplyDeleteHey, do you think I *want* my younger kids in school LOL! You read my "closet" post. When the doctors start in on the "they can't go to school if you don't," I say

Though I would agree that vaccinations can be a good idea in most cases, I don't think the arm-twisting is warranted or fair.
The vaccination thing gets my dander up so I am going to leave well enough alone on that one.
ReplyDeleteThe plates are cute. My grandma had one of those plate rails in her house and we probably packed up about 30 plates that she had collected over the years. From all over.
Beautiful display of plates, but I'm just thinking about the dusting of them!
