Dyk


"The cuckoo comes in April,
Sings a song in May:
Then in June another tune,
And then she flies away."

dyk when I was doing school with Abi today, she worked so well, she never stopped moving - she sits in the glider rocker and rocks the entire 2 hours we work -


dyk I've stopped the every 20 minute breaks b/c I can't get her focus back and if I supply her with movement (the rocker) and snacks, she will stay focused with me


dyk we did writing, reading, phonic flash cards, number 0-32, her math book (6 pages), and we did some "calendar work" with the months days, learning what a "week" is etc


dyk so I guess the homeschooling is still going well.

DYK Theresa, that is quite a story...why on earth have you waited so long to share that with us?

DYK Such an accomplishment to lose all that weight?

DYK I like the frozen cranberry juice idea? Wonder if that would work with frozen crystal lite? I could go for a fruit punch flavored one?

DYK How about hard-boiled eggs at work? Could you carry a thermal bag to keep them cold...or do you have a fridge?

DYK How about giving them 1 free ride in the van per week and after they have used that, it's use the bus or don't go?
