Peaches, carrots, celery with Peanut butter and Vanilla Yogurt

Here he is with sisters
Neli
Reeses
sadly, no one has responded to the craigslist listing...and we can't keep all 3. So, at least 2, will be taken to the SPCA unless this occurs...

Good-bye kitties..hope you find a home...

Oh, so much has changed!
I found a few great links that the kids are really enjoying! Those, along with a few worksheets a day seems to really sum it up:)
Study Ladder
This is a great site and if you enter your umbrella school (or if you choose to be connected with the school district, just put in your local school) and it lets you on unlimited during school hours. As the teacher, which is what I put myself in as, you can assign tasks for your student to do, or just have them go on and play for fun. Fun, in any subject!
The other one I want to share is
Carrot Sticks.
This site, you can play by yourself, or against other kids. This makes it even more fun!!
Something kids really enjoy!
So that is what is going on currently. FLVS is completely out. Back to old school and, to tell you the truth, liking it!:)
Happy Homeschooling!

Wouldn't you know, only a week or so into the semester, and we're already at a loss again.
I saw the 'Florida Virtual' reviews, it sounded real good. But all it is is an online textbook. You simply read the lesson, and take the quiz. No teacher teaches a thing. There is nothing. Just a textbook, and a quiz. Sure, you can retake the quiz, but that doesn't work for my 10yo. The teacher is only available for questions, the don't teach anything unless you ask.
What!?
No wonder they don't get paid as much...
We're hanging on for math, though. I just have to teach the concepts, or find a site that will. She really likes her teacher, too. Although, phone-to-phone is NOT the way to teach her. I am going to have to find a tutor...
So we're on Weaver for Language Arts. We read together some poems by Shel Silverstein the other day, and their job is to write a poem this week.
We're going through a lot of freebies for worksheets. Fun, fun!;)
anyways, things keep changing. We had to drop Spanish, too. What language can be learned with no teacher to teach it? You can't just 'read' the lesson, with no video or anything....
What to do...

Kids had a fun day at a sleepover yesterday and I finally got caught up with Gracie for school! I still have to write down what Rachel will be doing on her Time4learning (it's all under one name, so they have to 'hand-key' the lessons..a tedious job, but worth the discount!;)
Anyways, Gracie was so excited, that she already started her work:) I think the '$$ for A's and B's' motivational tool worked! lol.. Colette started her K level (she does it with mommy..same site) work, and she has Pre-K games she does on her own, loves it! :) Couldn't be happier.
Will post pictures soon!!
FLVS hasn't contacted me yet..grrr...should had read that fine-print..they won't be LOOKING for a teacher till my start-date! Well, for next semester, NOW I know;)
