So much has happened, good and bad, but God is faithful. He brings us through the battles and struggles and we emerge on the other side stronger!<br />
<br />
As I plan for the coming school year, which we plan to start Monday (yikes!) I know that I need to get a better chore system in place. We just can't do school work well around here if there is a lack of order. This year I am trying something a bit different and "pegging" daily chores to each meal. My chart is below. Check it out and let me know what you think. <br />
<br />
God bless you as you plan for the coming school year!<br />

I'm in the process of discerning whether or not to keep this blog open. I have so many thoughts to post each and every day, but I find it more and more difficult to set aside the time to do that.<br />
<br />
However, I did want to write a quick post about a couple of my favorite curriculum choices ~ <a href="http://www.allaboutlearningpress.com/all-about-reading/">All About Reading</a> and <a href="http://www.allaboutlearningpress.com/all-about-spelling">All About Spelling</a>. <br />
<br />
All About Spelling was such a blessing to find several years ago. It's been a huge help here with my hands on learners! And now All About Reading is my new favorite reading program. My struggling readers are getting on the right track with this program.<br />
<br />
Marie Rippel is currently doing a giveaway of one of these programs. If you would like to enter, find out more <a href="http://blog.allaboutlearningpress.com/giveaway-any-level-of-all-about-reading/">here!</a>The Academy of the Good Shepherdhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03532215376466282909noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1414152713480801989.post-16512261552812493742012-11-10T19:57:00.000-05:002012-11-12T16:27:20.953-05:00Big Family Camping<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

(This post is actually part 2 in a mini series. Go <a href="http://www.academyofthegoodshepherd.blogspot.com/2012/10/organizing-for-vacations.html">here</a> for part 1.)<br />
I love reading blog posts about family camping. I usually come away with a great organization tip, a neat campfire recipe or an idea for a fun activity. Because of that I decided to write my own blog post about how we organize, pack up the gear, and enjoy our camping trips in case I might have some ideas that help a reader or two on their next camping trip.<br />
<br />
My husband and I have made many changes to the whole camping experience as our family has grown in size. Having six children makes camping more fun than ever, but it also adds a few challenges. Below I will share some ideas about how to deal with those challenges and capitalize on the fun.<br />
<br />
For me it all starts with the planning, and the planning takes place in this well used binder! It's starting to look a bit sad, I'll admit. I've used it for 5 years now and it's very worn. My kids have decorated and redecorated it for me, and while I would like to start over with a nice clean binder, the stickers and finger smudges hold memories, so I'll refrain for now and show you a very real picture. This poor notebook has been tossed onto car seats, left in the rain on picnic tables, taken to sandy beaches and even stepped on.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sGFOy4P5TAA/UJ7wDL1eZDI/AAAAAAAABg8/TtnG1UgNML4/s1600/May+2011+011.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-sGFOy4P5TAA/UJ7wDL1eZDI/AAAAAAAABg8/TtnG1UgNML4/s320/May+2011+011.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
What is in this binder? Everything that has to do with any of our camping trips or vacations, except pictures. It's not a scrapbook of memories about our trips, it's a planner. That being said, each time I pull it out I do a quick review of past trips and it brings back great memories.<br />
<br />
I use a dividing page for each trip. Behind that I put the itinerary, menus, shopping lists, phone number of the camp ground, reservation confirmations and, once a arrive, I include one of the pamplets that the state parks usually have a available to visitors. On this pamphlet, which often contains a map, I mark where our site is, and I note which sites look really good incase we return for another trip. This has really come in handy!<br />
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZnVbrJ6iCxI/UJ7wBX-2YwI/AAAAAAAABg0/BQZTmX8EOZs/s1600/May+2011+013.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZnVbrJ6iCxI/UJ7wBX-2YwI/AAAAAAAABg0/BQZTmX8EOZs/s320/May+2011+013.JPG" width="320" /></a><br />
<br />
Elsewhere in the binder I have sections for our camping gear check lists, notes regarding fun menu ideas, and notes about great gear or packing ideas that I see other campers using. <br />
<br />
Finally, I have a page with important phone numbers and addresses: the kennel where the dog might be staying (although she usually comes with us), trusted neighbors in case we suddenly remember we left the iron on (lol), and the addresses of people we might want to send post cards to.<br />
<br />
Once I get everything organized on paper it's time to get it physically organized. I have four systems that help with this. When we camp the first time each season, I go through everything with my checklist and make sure it's all ready to go. Then, I just replenish used up food or items that need to be replaced for any additional trips we want to take. I can pack this group of 8 campers and dog up pretty quick because it's all organized and ready.<br />
<br />
My four systems are:<br />
1 - Sterilite stacking drawers. <br />
2 - The giant, bear proof cooler.<br />
3 - Food pantry bin.<br />
4 - Duffle bags.<br />
<br />
Starting from the bottom of the list and working up, the duffle bags are used for clothing (obviously). Below is a picture of some of them that are waiting to be packed into the van. We have two colors - army green and black. No one has their own. When it's time to pack up, everyone gets a bag with a different colored bandana tied to the end. That person simply remembers his or her bandana color for the trip. These bags were big enough for our two week trip out west, but since they can be folded up they also work for weekends.<br />
This past fall when we camped every weekend for 6 weeks in a row, I literally washed the clothes and put them directly back into the bags for each person. Easy peasy.<br />
<br />
We have one extra bag that stays packed all the time. This is our emergency weather bag. In this very important bag we have for each person:<br />
Long underwear<br />
A hat<br />
Gloves<br />
Hand warmers<br />
Rain gear - pants and jackets with hoods. No ponchos. Little kids can't play in ponchos and if they fall in the mud their pants are soaked. Rain pants keep them dry and are easily hosed off when muddy. (Believe me, I know! :)<br />
For little people I also include ultra warm footed sleepers.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-niMzCk3beRE/UJ7s5uNf53I/AAAAAAAABfw/tiMV9z6Gym4/s1600/camping,+10-12+005.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-niMzCk3beRE/UJ7s5uNf53I/AAAAAAAABfw/tiMV9z6Gym4/s320/camping,+10-12+005.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
The food pantry bin is another item that I restock at the end of a trip and it is all ready to go for the next. In this bin are canned or dry items that we use every trip. Things like salt, pepper, cooking oil,<br />
protein powder for my son with Celiac, pancake mix, etc. I have a list of items to keep in this bin that I've taped to the lid. That way I don't forget important things like coffee!<br />

Our giant, bear proof cooler is called a Yeti. Most places don't require a bear proof cooler, but our trip out west did. We bought a nice big one and it has worked well for all of our trips. I bought four plastic water jugs that I fill with drinking water and freeze. When it's time to pack the cooler, these four jugs go down the middle. They are frozen solid so they are all the ice we need. As the ice melts we use it for drinking. They keep the cooler very cold. For the two week trip we took, it was necessary to replenish the ice and the drinking water though.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<br />
And finally, there are the Sterilite drawers. Here they are under our camp table. I love these things. They hold everything we need for camping and we keep them loaded, all the time. When we get back from a trip, they go directly into the closet where they live until the next trip. In these drawers are everything from clothes lines to cast iron pans. The smaller, 3 drawer unit is on top of the table. This is where we keep things that we use a lot, like flash lights, bug spray and one of them holds the silverware. Once again, this stays packed all the time. It goes directly to the camping closet at home and it's ready to go when we need to pull it out for the next trip.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--GjffrPT1vM/UJ7tA42m1tI/AAAAAAAABgA/DMtGT-f4j-I/s1600/camping,+10-12+031.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--GjffrPT1vM/UJ7tA42m1tI/AAAAAAAABgA/DMtGT-f4j-I/s320/camping,+10-12+031.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
So that's how I organize. I will admit, the first time I got all this gear together it was a huge task. But I can say it was worth it. It is so easy now to get everything together to camp. Going to the grocery store to buy the food is probably the biggest ordeal. Everything else is ready to go, and we don't forget things like camp stoves and matches. It's all right there. Next time I'll give you a tour of one of our camp set ups.<br />

September was such a blessing but sooooooo busy. Now that it's over we are exhausted! What did our September involve that kept us running, running, running? Well, the first weekend in September we went camping. We got to visit with Night Owl since we camped about 30 minutes from Hillsdale. The main purpose of this trip was to see the HIllsdale football game on Saturday night (and they won! Woo Hoo!), but camping always involves tons of fun so there was lots of other things going on too.<br />

The very next weekend we left for a wonderful trip to Williamsburg VA and then to Oak Island NC. We've been to Williamsburg before, but this was the first time we were there for the Homeschool Days. It was fabulous! Oak Island is always wonderful. Mom Mom and Pop Pop live near there and we get to visit with them and spend time on the beach as well.<br />

<br />
We returned home the weekend after that, completely exhausted from the 20 hour drive that we did non stop (except for potty breaks and picnic meals). Unloaded our work horse of a mini van and started right in on reloading it for the next trip!<br />
<br />
The final weekend in September was spent, once again, at the state park near Hillsdale so we could cheer the team on to another victory, spend time with Night Owl and enjoy camping. The fall weather was absolutely gorgeous and the trees were in full color. But we're still not done! As I type this I have one more trip I am planning for!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

So, how do I keep from going insane with all these trips? My one tool that has saved me is this binder which I put together several years ago! Let me tell you, it has gotten a workout this past month! I thought I should clean it up a bit for the picture, but then I decided to keep it real. This poor binder gets left on picnic tables, rides in tote bags, gets tossed into the back seat of the van... It's a trooper!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wme9Ei18sbQ/UHQhcEiPNoI/AAAAAAAABeY/jSMSUfSvgqU/s1600/Matt's+birthday+026.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wme9Ei18sbQ/UHQhcEiPNoI/AAAAAAAABeY/jSMSUfSvgqU/s320/Matt's+birthday+026.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Since most of our vacations involve camping or staying in a condo, and since we aren't big restaurant eaters, there is usually quite a bit of planning to do ahead of time. We need menus and shopping lists, lists of gear to pack, lists of what clothing is necessary, maps and directions, copies of reservation confirmations.....<br />
It all fits quite nicely in this binder and, while I don't keep pictures in here, I do write notes ... lots of notes!<br />
<br />
It's fun to go back and read what I've written. A perfect example is this comment from about eight years ago - "Camping idea! - Use plastic drawers to store gear in, then just pack them when it's time to camp." Those plastic drawers are looking a little worn, but still in use! I also write notes about which camp sites at state parks are better than others, which condominiums are nice (and which ones were disappointing!), fun new recipes to try while on vacation, great game discoveries, etc. When we go back to certain locations I review my notes and it makes the planning that much easier.<br />
<br />
In part 2 of this series I'll give a little more detail about how we get and keep everything organized to make packing easy.<br />

This is not an exhibit from Williamsburg but the cottage we stayed in! We normally stay at a state park where we camp. However, this year we decided to try the cabins at the same state park which were from the early 1800's. This is the boys bedroom in the upstairs of the cottage. It was built in the early 1800's and preserved to be an exact replica except for the electricity and running water.</div>

This is a picture from the kitchen. The stove is obviously electric and designed to look old, but the cabinets, walls and flooring (and maybe the kitchen table) were original to the house. It was a great place to stay while visiting Williamsburg. We felt very much immersed in the time period.</div>

Do these stairs look dangerous? They were! Carrying a toddler down these steps was not an easy task. And, since he constantly wanted to play on these steps I had to carry him down way too often. Next time, we'll remember the baby gate!</div>

Social Butterfly's bed (her room was also upstairs) had a trundle where Beany slept. The one bathroom in the house was built in what we think was a pantry of some sort. It had all the electricity and running water of a modern bathroom but was designed to look old. I didn't get a picture of the free standing, claw footed tub but wish I did. </div>

Well, I guess I should say almost final. We have several extra curriculars we still need to work in, but at least the main part of our day is worked out. <br />
<br />
Getting the schedule set up gets easier each year. We have a general flow to our day and for the most part, I just follow that flow. For example, once our day is started Social Butterfly is first on the list. Social BF is generally my early riser and enjoys some quiet time with me in the morning. I take advantage of that and plug her time with me into the early morning. I don't have my personal early morning routine on this schedule, but I generally like to be up before anyone else, including Social Butterfly. This is the time that I take to pray and get organized for the day. If you want to see me really grumpy, come over some morning when I sleep in and all the kids are up before me!<br />
<br />
Something new I'm trying this year is a scheduled time for each of the older kids to play with PJ, or Patch as his nickname is quickly becoming. After a couple of weeks, I'm not sure I can say it's working. While all the kids love their baby brother, they are finding it a chore to watch him for a certain amount of time each day. I think this is odd since it has always been easy in the past to ask one of them to take him outside to the swings, or for a walk, or to the couch to read a book or two. Maybe now that it is scheduled, it is something they have to do, so therefore it is no longer enjoyable. I'm hoping that with a little more time and maybe some suggestions regarding what they can do with PJ during their time with him it will get better.<br />
<br />
You'll notice Beany has lots of blocks that say "Quiet, independent work or...". The whole "quiet, independent work" think is a dream of mine (LOL). Actually, he does do well with quiet activities for a while, but like most kindergarten aged children, he really likes to move and be noisy. Because of this, after spending a bit of quiet with puzzles, books, coloring or other activities I have available to him, he runs over to wherever his older sibling and PJ are playing and joins them. He and PJ are the best of buddies and it is cute to watch them play. So far this is working well and he is just loving his "Kindergarten Time" with me first thing in the classroom.<br />
<br />
I would like to note that after all the work of creating a <em>schedule</em>, we really don't follow a <em>schedule</em>!<br />
We follow a routine. The times along the side of the schedule below are just general. The reason I even go through the process of creating a schedule is so that I can see it on paper, see how it flows, and keep us generally on track. The times also help me to see that I am not trying to cram way too much stuff into one part of the day, which I have been known to do.<br />
<br />
Finally, I would like to mention three resources that I have found helpful for scheduling:<br />
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Managers-Their-Homes-Scheduling-Home-School/dp/B000MPO680/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1347367375&sr=1-1&keywords=managers+of+their+homes">Managers of Their Homes</a> - This is the first homeschool scheduling book I read and, as a brand new homeschooler, it helped me to see all that was involved with scheduling our homeschool day. I really think it helped me that first year because I remember the feeling of being completely overwhelmed before having a schedule which this book helped me create. That being said, I don't agree with all that the author believes. Never the less, it helped me to make a plan that would actually fit into the 24 hour day that I have, instead of one that requires a 36 hour day to complete!<br />
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Mothers-Rule-Life-Bring-Order/dp/1928832415/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1347367301&sr=1-1&keywords=a+mother%27s+rule+of+life">A Mother's Rule of Life</a> - I really like this book because it combines the Catholic Faith that I love dearly, with planning the day, serving my husband, teaching my children, etc. It was truly a blessing to read. I would say it helped me to embrace my call as a Catholic mom to educate my children, and then gave me some tools to make that possible.<br />
<a href="http://simplycharlottemason.com/books/planning-your-charlotte-mason-education/">Planning Your Charlotte Mason Education</a> - I just purchased this book this year to help me with the planning process. As a 10 year homeschooler, I think it may have been more than I needed, but it helped me to get into planning mode this past summer when I had so many other things going on. I would highly recommend it for those just starting on this homeschooling journey, or for those who are changing over to a Charlote Mason influenced methodology.<br />
<br />
Finally, here's my finished product! I do not list specific subjects because my children have those on their assignment sheets. I would be happy to answer any questions regarding specifics though. I just didn't want to get overly detailed with this post (another thing I tend to do!).<br />

Ugh! I really need a new camera!<br />
<br />
For me, the communication of daily assignments and expectations is one of the most important parts of the planning process. Because my children are all so different, I find that each one of them needs a specific type of system to ensure they understand the work that is required of them each day. I imagine it sounds tedious to do it differently for each child, but it's really no big deal. The tedious part is what I finished recently - the lists of assignments to be completed throughout the year. Now that those lists are accomplished I simply use them to make assignments.<br />
<br />
For Social Butterfly, I mentioned we will be using Mother of Divine Grace. This year, MODG has made some great improvements and everything is on line. All I have to do is go to the website for enrolled members, click on her lists and print them out. Easy Peasy! I should say that I do have a copy of the written syllabus as well. This isn't really necessary now, but there have been times, more and more lately :( that we have not been able to connect to the internet. Having a written copy of the syllabus ensures that we can stay on track. So, for Social BF, I simply print out her lists and then each Monday morning (EARLY - while the rest of the house is asleep) we will go through her lists, discussing what is required, any new or difficult concepts coming up, and completion deadlines. She will record these assignments into a simple student planner that I purchased for her. That last step probably isn't necessary, but it helps to make sure she has seen and understands each assignment before she writes it down. Since Social BF is in 8th grade and quite independent I don't meet with her formally every day. This first "formal meeting" is the starting off point, and later in the week we will sit down together to go over things and make sure she is on the right track. We do a lot of informal discussion as the week goes on though. Narrations are required and one of our favorite times for this is while I prepare dinner. Sometimes she will sit at the end of the kitchen counter and we will discuss her readings and sometimes she helps prepare dinner while we discuss. We also have discussions in the car, before bed, early in the morning ...<br />
It's easy to make sure I get discussion times in with this extroverted daughter of mine!<br />
<br />
For Jetter, I still feel the need to meet with him on a daily basis and some of his subjects are done one on one with me. Jetter will have a combination assignment sheet / workbox approach. I created an assignment sheet that goes along with our history studies this year. I borrowed <a href="http://wildflowersandmarbles.blogspot.com/2010/07/year-considered-5th-grade.html">Jen's idea over at Wildflowers and Marbles</a> of giving the year a theme and then creating an assignment sheet to go along. Since we are studying Medieval History this year, I loved her Year of Knights and Explorers theme and used that as our base, then tweaked it a bit to suit our needs. Jetter saw me creating his assignment sheet and he's very enthused about it! His reading ability has really taken off lately and he can't wait to dive into the pile of books that awaits him.<br />
<br />
Jetter doesn't really need the official workbox set up, but having the books and papers he needs as the day progresses, in order, really helps him to stay on track. When I was in 2nd grade I had a wonderful teacher, Sister Leuetta, who used the system I am thinking of. At the start of the day she had listed on the board each subject and what we would be doing. The first thing we did each morning as we came in, was to check the board, and then working from bottom to top place the book, folder, or paper that we would need for each assignment in the right hand corner of our desk. As we went through the day, the book or other item would be placed in our desk when it was finished. By the end of the day our desk was clear and the books were neatly put inside them. I tried this with Jetter last year and it helped him to see exactly what he had accomplished and what was still waiting for his attention. I wish there was a way to do this with housework!<br />
<br />
I'll so something similar for Builder, but since he is in 3rd grade and not a strong reader yet, I spend a lot of time at his side. For his set up, I have a 3 drawer tower that sits on his desk. <br />
<br />
(His desk, by the way is a sliding glass door from our patio entry. When we replaced it with french doors my husband took the hardware off, set it up on a couple of kitchen cabinets and made a perfect work surface for a couple of kids. Builder is at one end and Beany is at the other. It works great and clean up is a breeze!) <br />
<br />
Back to Builder's set up. The 3 drawers sit on his desk and in them I keep the work that he can do independently. Copywork, Explode the Code workbooks, and his Saxon Math workbook are currently housed there. Each morning, since I start with Beany, Builder knows to get working on the items in those drawers. If you do Saxon Math for the younger grades you know that it isn't exactly an independent subject. However, I usually do the lesson with Builder during our time together. We complete the first side of the page together. The next day, while waiting for his turn with me, he does the second side. He is able to do this on his own since we did a similar assignment together the day before. When I work with Builder I use an assignment sheet similar to Jetter's but I keep it on my clipboard. The first thing we do is stack his books in the order we will use them, and go through each subject that he does with me, putting things away as they are completed. <br />
<br />
Beany doesn't really have a set up. I keep his assignment sheet on my clipboard and since he is the first person I work with we sit down together and go through his subjects. What Beany does have is lots of free time after I work with him. It works best for him to have that divided into sections. I am currently working on organizing the activities on our shelves so they are easily accessible to him. When he is done working with me he can choose an ativity off the shelves, play with PJ, or spend time with one of his older siblings.<br />
<br />
I'm also trying to set up an area for PJ. PJ is 19 months and a major distraction right now. Dealing with that can be frustrating, but knowing he is probably the last little one we will have around here makes it a bit more bearable. One thing I do is have the older kids take turns with PJ duty. That will be part of my next post regarding routines and schedules.The Academy of the Good Shepherdhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03532215376466282909noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1414152713480801989.post-30858761486446708532012-08-10T11:29:00.003-04:002012-08-10T11:29:55.519-04:00Summer!Is it really the tenth day of August? Did Night Owl really leave for college just yesterday? Did I really plan to start back to school last Monday? Really?!!! <br />
<br />
I've been so busy with life I haven't really even posted any fun pictures from our summer which is quickly zooming by. It's been a busy one and we have more busy-ness go come! While my <a href="http://www.academyofthegoodshepherd.blogspot.com/2012/05/beginnning-planning-process.html">Planning Posts</a> may make it seem like I've been doing nothing but hunching over school books and planners, we've really had lots of fun. Thanks to Social Butterfly and her camera I even have a few pictures to post. <br />
<br />
So, here's the summer so far ~<br />

Recently, when I sold an item from<a href="http://www.ccmemory.com/"> Classically Catholic Memory</a> on <a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/cathswap/?yguid=267861683">Cathswap</a>, my email box was very busy with people interested in it. I had to turn them down, except for the first inquirer, and many responded with questions: "How did you like Classically Catholic Memory?", "What grades did you use it for?", "Which resources did you use?" etc. So I decided to write a post about it.<br />
<br />
I discovered CCMemory when I was <strike>whining </strike>discussing the issue of catechism memory work at <a href="http://4real.thenetsmith.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=39715&PN=1">4Real</a>. We have had such a struggle with staying on top of our memory work. I know it really doesn't take long, less than a couple of minutes to get through a poem recitation, but we just couldn't get it done. When I mentioned this struggle, one of the moms suggested CCMemory, I checked it out, decided to purchase it, and boy am I glad I did. This resource has helped us with not only our Religion memory work, but poems, history quotes, science facts and even Latin!<br />
<br />
My first impression, upon opening the box, was that I noticed the good quality of <a href="http://www.ccmemory.com/shop/page/5?sessid=bd9sjqbjHfeA2Vtt9WIvshDS6yEyVxB67CVQR8UXl984z0x3rs9sG4Md5ruXpkUw&shop_param=">the materials</a>. I had ordered the Alpha level Teacher's Guide and Student Book, the maps, the timeline cards and the audio CD's. The books are hefty, spiral bound, with laminated covers. The maps are colored and also laminated, but with a much thicker material. They are two sided, one for tracing and one for labeling. The maps come with a set of stickers for the child to locate and label the locations being memorized for that week. The timeline cards are a nice size, big enough to actually see when hanging around the top edge of the school room.<br />
<br />
I use this program for all of my children and we all do it together. This includes my daughter in 8th grade, who follows the MODG syllabus. During our morning meeting, we go over the memory work each day. At the start of a lesson, I write the memory work out on our big chart tablet. We go through it, subject by subject and I use the Teacher's Manual to help me teach the information. Sometimes it's pretty straight forward - memorizing a Catechism question. But sometimes, like in the case of science, there is more to talk about, including some pictures that I show the kids which are located in the appendix of the Teacher's Guide. Sometimes there are project or demonstration suggestions. To be honest, we mostly just use it for memory work but I've always thought the science information would make a nice "spine" to follow for those who don't like to use a textbook. Back to our CCMemory routine ... <br />
<br />
So it's on the chart, and I take turns calling on who is going to recite first. The start of a lesson takes longer because I explain things. Sometimes it takes us a couple of days to get a new lesson introduced. After that, each day is a quick run through of the material for memory purposes. I use the chart I make for this, but the kids can use the Student Book to practice at other times in the day.<br />
<br />
Just a note about how I do this with the various grades -<br />
Beany, my Kindergarten student, listens in and I have him repeat everything after me. I also modify it for him so he only has a couple of lines to memorize from the poem. I don't usually have him do the Catechism questions, unless they are very basic.<br />
<br />
Builder will be in 3rd grade. He is able to memorize the information as written. There are two different poems for each lesson, one for the higher grade levels and one for the lower. He usually memorizes the poem selections for the younger grade. Some weeks, he doesn't quite get the Latin or history facts memorized. I go on ahead anyway, knowing this information will come back around for him as he gets older (since I plan to use the program forever! ;)<br />
<br />
Jetter will be in 6th grade. He also memorizes the information as written. He memorizes the poem for the older students.<br />
<br />
Social Butterfly will be in 8th. The only adaptation I do for her is to have her memorize the assigned poem from Mother of Divine Grace. I do this by simply adding it to the chart tablet used at our morning meeting and she gets a copy of it to study on her own as well.<br />
<br />
The chart tablet idea is mine and takes more preparation time than the program probably should, but I like the way it keeps us all on the same page. My kids seem to like using it too, since I use a pointer and when it's their turn to recite something they come up to the chart and point to what they are reciting. We also do things all together, chant style, which they seem to enjoy (even though the older ones<em> act</em> like they're bored!)<br />
<br />
Whether they truly are bored or not, I don't know and honestly, I'm not sure I care. I really see the value in memory work and with this program we are finally getting to it on a daily basis and my kids are memorizing so much more that in the past.<br />
<br />
One last thing ... the Teachers Manuel explains in depth how to use this program in a coop setting. We don't belong to a coop, but if we did I think it would work very well. <br />
<br />
I would love to answer questions about this program because I find it so beneficial. If you have any, leave them in the comment box and I'll try to answer them. I really, really wish I had a camera so I could share some pictures. I'll update this post as soon as I get one.The Academy of the Good Shepherdhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03532215376466282909noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1414152713480801989.post-9173666279327797502012-07-20T06:38:00.001-04:002012-07-24T06:52:05.858-04:00Using the Resources Wisely(Note ~ My intention was to add pictures to this post. Unfortunately, my camera is broken and I don't want to wait until I get a new one to post this. So, I'll just say, pictures are coming ...eventually.)<br />
<br />
Now that I have all the resources I will use for the coming school year in hand, or, I should say in bins and boxes, it's time to decide how and when they will be used. For too many years, I stopped my planning process at the previous stage. Once I had all my books, sorted by who would use them, I considered my planning complete. The problem is that I never really felt like I was getting everything from the resources I had ordered. Math was easy, I just followed the book. But many of the other resources I used should have been better planned out. If you are an unschooler, or someone who does not like to plan you might find that this post seems like over doing it. But for our homeschool I find it necessary. So, the next step then is going through each resource and making some important decisions.<br />
<br />
I would like to note here, that I don't do any of this planning for my daughter, Social Butterfly. She is enrolled with <a href="http://www.motherofdivinegrace.org/curriculum/">Mother of Divine Grace</a> so in her case, all the planning is done for me. This is a great fit for my daughter and each year they add new services to help us busy homeschooling moms out. This year Social Butterfly will have the advantage of taking a few on-line courses provided my <a href="http://www.motherofdivinegrace.org/curriculum/">MODG</a>. We are both very excited about this. I do not have my sons enrolled yet. I decided to hold off for a couple of years since I really enjoy making the decisions regarding what they will learn and when. But like their sister, they will all be enrolled by 8th grade, if not sooner. I have nothing but good things to say about <a href="http://www.motherofdivinegrace.org/curriculum/">Mother of Divine Grace</a>. Now, back to the planning...<br />
<br />
This year, I am using a very helpful e-book from <a href="http://simplycharlottemason.com/books/#CMHowTo">Simply Charlotte Mason</a> called <a href="http://simplycharlottemason.com/books/planning-your-charlotte-mason-education/">Planning Your Charlotte Mason Education.</a> This is a very thorough planning resource that takes you through several steps to, in my opinion, getting the most from the resources you have taken the time to gather and possibly purchase. This book takes you through the stages of planning, from looking at the year as a whole, to breaking down your day. The steps look very much like the steps I have been blogging about, since I am using this tool, but I have tweaked things to suit our needs a bit better.<br />
<br />
I really appreciate the tables that are included in <a href="http://simplycharlottemason.com/books/planning-your-charlotte-mason-education/">Planning Your Charlotte Mason Education</a>. The book shows how to fill them out, providing examples, and includes a section in the back containing more blank tables that can be used. One of the first tables to be filled in, once you have all the resources in hand is the "Term Outline Chart". On this chart you will list each resource, how you want to divide it (pages, lessons, chapters, etc.), how many of these divisions there are, and how you want to distribute the divisions into your school terms. For example, one of the books we will use this year is the Baltimore Catechism #2. I noted that this book has "lessons" for the divisions and there are 37 total. The chart in <a href="http://simplycharlottemason.com/books/planning-your-charlotte-mason-education/">Planning Your CM Education</a> divides the year into three 12 week terms, so doing a bit of math, I know we need to accomplish 13 lessons for one term and 12 for the other two. I, personally, have divided my year into 6 six week terms. I just find it easier to plan that way so I added a few columns to the chart and divided the book further which means I have 6 columns noting that we will cover six lessons each term, and one term adding a 7th.<br />
<br />
The next form this book provides is the Weekly Work Worksheet. This is a worksheet you will fill out for each term. Here you will list the subjects, the books chosen for each subject, the number of division for the term you are planning and the number of days you will use that resource. Back to the Baltimore Catechism example, I listed it as Religion, Baltimore Catechsim 2, 37 divisions (lessons), and 6 for Term 1. That means we will cover 6 lessons in the first term. For number of days, I put 4 because I will spread each lesson out over 4 days. For "living books", like in the case of historical fiction, I might decide to have my child read the entire book in one term or divide it among several terms. I would simply need to note the number of chapters to be read for each term the book will be used. <br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://simplycharlottemason.com/books/planning-your-charlotte-mason-education/">Planning Your CM Education</a> then goes on to show you how to create a weekly schedule and plug the resources in, according to the number of days you will be using them. There is much more to this book, many examples and helpful tips to aid you in your planning. It also provides chapters on how to choose resources, Charlotte Mason recommendations, planning your day, and more. I highly recommend it as a planning tool.<br />
<br />
Once I've used these tools to help me with the break down of the books we will use, I break them down farther with a chart I make on Word. It is a simple chart, just listing the week number, resource, and pages or lessons to be accomplished. I use this chart to create my weekly lesson plans, or sometimes I just use the chart as the plan and cross things off as we go. I really like the way <a href="http://www.amongstlovelythings.com/2011/10/color-coded-progress-lists.html">Sarah</a> color codes her lists. I think I will use that idea as I go through this step of the planning process. While I sometimes think I need lengthy paragraphs describing what we will do in the various subjects I realize that in the midst of a busy day with children in various grades and little ones getting into things that all I really need is the book and page number. If I need to get more information regarding an assignment I can always look it up. This chart gives me a nice, at a glance, look at what we need to accomplish each day and where we are at in terms of our goals. Below is a portion of Jetter's chart, so you can see the layout. I just need to plug in what pages from the resources he will be doing. You wont see religion, science, or memory work listed because they go on a seperate "Family" Chart. We are doing those subjects together this year.<br />

Finally, I want to talk about one other planning tool I am using this year. It actually comes from another e-book that I purchased several years ago. I got <a href="http://www.tanglewoodeducation.com/orderT.htm">The Tanglewood Corebook</a> to use as my planner one year. It was very nice and helpful but after that year I no longer used it. However, in this corebook, there are pages that I find quite helpful. One of these is a sheet for listing your goals for the year in each subject, divided by term. This is similar to the chart I talked about above, but it's lay out is a bit different. First, it's divided into 6 week terms. For each six weeks, you simply note what chapter or lesson you should be on for each subject at the end of that term. I find this helpful for subjects like math, grammar and spelling, especially. Then there is another chart, to be filled out at the end of the term where you note which chapter or lesson you are on, verses the goal you had set at the start of that year or term. You then note what adjustments you need to make, if any, to reach the original goal. I think this will help me to stay accountable to my goals. So often I find that life sweeps us away with it and the original goals I had set are not attainable. Evaluating every six weeks will help us stay on track, and help me to see if my goals are even realistic.<br />
<br />
This part of the planning process takes quite a bit of time and I usually do it in spurts, whenever I have some free time. From this step, I will go on to how I communicate to my children what their responsibilities are for each day. This year I'll be using a combination of past methods, depending on the personality and needs of each child. This will be the content of my next post. If you missed the last planning posts, here are the links ~<br />

But before I start taking out next year's books, I really need to clean up from last year. The task cleaning up the school room this time is going to be monumental. Why, you ask?<br />
Let me give you a scenario to consider ...<br />
<br />
Imagine you have a graduating senior and you plan to have a big open house for him. You finish your school year a bit haphazardly because you become ultra focused on getting the yard ready for this openhHouse as soon as warm weather hits. You are very stressed because at the particular school your son attended for highschool, open houses are a really big deal and it's customary to invite everybody. Now, it's a small school - about 200 at the highschool - but since you are inviting more than just close friends and family, alot more, you become filled with anxiety about how your house looks. So, Spring is spent relandscaping and making lists of everything you want to do inside once you are done with the outside.<br />
<br />
Now, plan a trip to happen the weekend before the open house. Really? Did I really do that? Yes. Part of it was because we had two nieces graduating this year and we wanted to attend their open houses in another state. Part of it was because my mother hasn't been feeling well and we wanted to go and pick her up so she could come back here to stay with us for a while, and, part of it was because I felt we would need a break from the stress. So we went to Ohio and spent a day at Cedar Point. It was great! I didn't think about our open house at all. How could I with all those fantastic roller coasters?! The next day we had a lovely time at my niece's open house, then we headed for home.<br />
<br />
So, back to that scenario...<br />
Now, come home, get mom settled in her room, remember the older two kids will be helping all week at the VBS, remember you are driving your kids and a friend's kids to this VBS all week, look around the house and PANIC! One week to go and while the yard is looking pretty good, the porches need swept, the windows need cleaned and the inside of the house is, (sigh), not at all ready. Oh! Remember also that ALL. THAT. FOOD needs to be purchased and prepared. Then realize, while typically the two older kids are really good at watching the younger kids so you can get stuff done, they wont be here - all week - because of the VBS. <br />
<br />
So what do you do? You quickly start filling up the room in the basement that has a door you can close. What room is that? The school room. It's okay, at first. Most of the stuff you are putting down there is school stuff. You decide things like easles in the sun room and baskets of books in the living room probably wont do for the open house so those get taken down to the school room. Then, husband decides that chair he needs to fix might get sat on and broken more, so he takes that down to the school room. Then, when the kids are supposed to be cleaning the other room in the basement, the one we call the play room, they decide to just shove all the toys into the school room. It goes on like this all week.<br />
<br />
Finally the big day comes and the open house is a huge success. All those family members leave for their homes in Ohio and Grandma goes with them. You relax for an entire day and then the next day you go down to the school room to get something ...<br />
OH MY!<br />
<br />
So, as you may have guessed, there will be no sitting around just waiting for the new books to come. It's time to clean, again. I better get started!

<br />
Remember, this is after I have already done the research and chosen what books and materials I will use for each child. This table helps me in the "hunting and gathering" of all those materials I want to use. <br />
<br />
The <strong>Item</strong> column is self explanatory - just the name of the resource.<br />
<br />
The <strong>Subject/Storage/Location</strong> column is where I will jot down not only the subject but where I will keep the books and where we will use the books. For instance, we do Math at the dining room table but history read alouds are done in the living room. I store the books as close as possible to the place they are used. I note this on my sheet, so as I gather books I can easily remember where to put them as we await the new school year.<br />
<br />
<strong>For Whom </strong>is self explanatory. I write the name of the child the item is for.<br />
<br />
<strong>Purchase, Gather, Organize</strong> is where I note whether this book is already on our shelves or if I have to buy it. I also note here if something requires organization. An example of that would be a lap book of some sort, or even something like All About Spelling. I try to get things set up ahead of time so that things run smoothly during the year. This column is sort of a"to do list".<br />
<br />
<strong>Source</strong> is where I note the company I will purchase from. If I already have the item I can just put "home" here, or something like that. Notations in this column might change if I find the resource at a cheaper price.<br />
<br />
<strong>Price</strong> helps me stay in my budget. <br />
<br />
<strong>Notes</strong> is where I put anything I want to remember while I'm preparing to use this item.<br />
<br />
Once this table is filled out I write up my shopping lists. I have done this with paper and pen and also at the computer. I guess it just depends on the mood I'm in. I usually have several lists. Emmanuel Books and Rainbow Resources appear every year. I also purchase from other companies though so those will each have their own list. <br />
<br />
When everything on my Gathering and Purchasing list has been noted, I take my lists and start ordering, or pulling items off of our shelves. I have to admit I enjoy buying new books, but there is a certain satisfaction that comes from using resources that I already own.The Academy of the Good Shepherdhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03532215376466282909noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1414152713480801989.post-29807617698021040872012-06-25T07:38:00.003-04:002012-06-25T07:38:45.703-04:00DetourPlanning was put on hold last week while we enjoyed some family time. Last weekend we headed for Ohio where we went to my nieces Open House. Before getting there though, we spent Saturday at Cedar Point. What a fun day we had! Lots of roller coasters and other rides. Everyone had a great time. The Open House was also enjoyable as we reconnected with aunts, uncles and cousins that we hadn't seen for too long.<br />
<br />
My mother came back home with us to spend the week as we prepared for Night Owl's Open House. That was a very busy week! It was nice to have her here but I'm afraid we didn't have much time to visit. <br />
<br />
Yesterday (Sunday) was hectic in a fun sort of way as we hosted the biggest party we've ever thrown. Lots of people, a huge tent, tons of food .... Whew! Now we're exhausted! We couldn't be more proud of Night Owl as this time of his life comes to close and college awaits.<br />
<br />
Back to planning tomorrow though. I need to get some books ordered!<br />

If anyone is keeping track, this is the 4th step in my planning process. I should add here though, that even though I am breaking things into "steps" there is some overlap. For example, "Choosing Resources" might be step 4, but it is really something I do year round. <br />
<br />
I am always on the look out for new resources for my home school. Now, I don't actively seek them year round, but if I read a blog post about a great grammar program or hear about a new way to use a history timeline, or whatever, I make sure to note it in one of two places. Here on my computer, I have a file in my "Favorites" entitled "Curriculum to Consider". When I come across something I want to look into more, or definitely use in the future, I simply save it in that file. I also have a handwritten list that I keep in a notebook. This notebook usually sits on the stand by the couch on which I sit to do most of my reading, or in the bag that houses books I am in the process of reading. When spring or late winter rolls around and I get into "planning mode" I take the time to really look into these resources.<br />
<br />
These two lists of curricula and resources to consider get considerably long by the time I start planning! When I'm ready to actually plan for the coming year, I take the snippets of time that I have and research each item. Sometimes I think to myself, "What was I thinking? That will never do!" and I can cross that item off my list. Often though, I have some tough decisions to make between several good resources. Here is where it is important for me to go back to the goals I have prayerfully set. It makes it a little easier to make a decision when I can ask, "Is this resource going to help me or my child achieve the intended goal for this year?" Sometimes, it might be a really great book that everyone is raving about and I just love because it has so much visual appeal, or whatever, but, if it doesn't help me reach the goals I took the time to set, it gets crossed off the list (or at least moved to next years "Curriculum to Consider List"!) So as long as I refer to the goals I set, this process of elimination isn't too difficult. <br />
<br />
Sometimes, a resource makes me want to add a goal to my list. That can work okay, but I have to work hard to keep my love of curricula from dictating what our goals will be. I learned early on that keeping our ship on course means having a definite harbor to reach. Allowing the various curricula to dictate our course causes our boat to go this way and that way and we never really reach a harbor at all, never mind the one we had intended to shoot for.<br />
<br />
For keeping track of all of these curriculum choices, once again, I keep two lists. One is here at the computer in Word, and the other is, once again, in my notebook. I do this because I find that I am not always at my computer when I am working on my planning. We only have one family computer in the house so we have to share it's use. That means, when I have time to do some planning, if someone is working (or playing!) at the computer, I have to wait. Having a notebook allows me to do it in both places, and then I can consolidate in the end. And, to be honest, I actually prefer to use the notebook. The computer is great because of the tables I can make. It's quick and efficient, but I really enjoy the process of actually writing things out. I'm not sure I could ever go "paperless". So, whether it's a chart on the computer or one in my notebook I include several things. I label the columns on my charts as: Name (of the person for which the resource is intended), Subject (for which it will be used), Title (of the resource), Source (from which to purchase), Price, and Notes. <br />
<br />
Once I feel that I have considered and decided upon the resources for the coming year, I take my handwritten list and add it to the list on the computer. I also make sure to add things to this list I already have. While the paragraphs above might make it sound like I choose new books for each subject each year, that is not the case. Some things are tried and true and appear on my list every year. So now, my list becomes the "Books and Materials to Gather or Purchase for 2012-2013" list. When adding one of the beloved books that I use over and over to my list, I just write "home" or "have" in the Source column and put a "0" for price. I also add things to this list that are not actually books, but items I know we will need like copywork notebooks, art supplies, classical music CD's, etc.<br />
<br />
I'm not sure I can link to every source of information that I use regarding choosing curriculum, or even to every source I use to purchase the curriculum, but here are a few links to get started:<br />

We tend toward the traditional, although I always say I would like to change to year round. It might not matter that much what sort of calendar we follow though. I believe the kids are learning year round, even though we aren't officially doing school work. The learning does change, so I don't think the kids consider it learning at all. We go from math and history books to doing more hiking, camping, enjoying nature and vacationing. Where else would my kids learn so much about the ocean except by visiting the ocean in the summer? What better way to learn about the stars and constellations then by gazing up at them on a warm summer night? Taking the canoes and kayaks down the river can be very educational, whether you are learning about the physics of not tipping the canoe, or whether you are learning about the wildlife you see while gazing lazily into the water as you row past. So, regardless of the actual "School Calendar" I think we are year round learners, just don't tell the kids!<br />
<br />
With that in mind, my 3rd step in the planning process is to decide on our school calendar. In my state, we are to do school for 36 weeks, or 150 days. Before I sit down to plan the calendar I jot some notes about times we will want to take a break from formal schooling. I know we will want to take off a week in the fall in order to visit our favorite family field trip location - Williamsburg, VA. I also know, from experience, that I need the entire week of Thanksgiving since there is so much to do to prepare, and we need two weeks as Christmas. I also like to take two weeks at Easter, one for Holy Week and one to really celebrate Easter. Since it is the holiest time of the year, I feel it deserves more than a long weekend. Finally, I like to schedule two weeks for testing. These aren't breaks from the school year, they are counted as school days, but it is important that I actually schedule them in.<br />
<br />
Next I print a form from <a href="http://donnayoung.org/index.htm">Donna Young</a>. This site has quite a few <a href="http://donnayoung.org/calendars/school-calendars.htm">calendar printables</a> to choose from,<br />
but I like to use <a href="http://donnayoung.org/f12/calendar-f/cal-sc-12-13/rul-att-07-12.pdf">a form like this</a> or <a href="http://donnayoung.org/f12/calendar-f/cal-sc-12-13/rul-att-07-12.pdf">this form designed to keep track of attendance</a>. I like that I can jot little notes about what week number it is and the reason for various breaks, etc.<br />
<br />
So, I know the times we want to take off for little breaks, I know we want to end our year by the end of May because, once we pass Easter, the nice weather comes and it gets more and more difficult for my kids to get their end of the year work done. I also like the idea of dividing the year into 6 week terms. This will work nicely for subjects like science where we can do a different unit per term. <br />
<br />
I discovered, after plugging in various start and stop times that if we want to end by May 31st, we will need to start by August 6th. That is early compared to the school calendar, but my kids usually don't mind starting school early if they know they will be done earlier than the school kids. ;) They actually tend to be a bit bored by then and it is usually quite hot and humid outside. Since they tend to want to be inside anyway, at least in the afternoons, it makes sense to be academically productive. :)<br />
<br />
I also discovered that it will be difficult to plan my 6 week terms so that every one of them falls at a natural break point. The first term works great. Six weeks from Aug. 6 will be right about the time we want to go to Williamsburg. But, the next term will actually be 7 weeks until we reach the natural break time of Thanksgiving. Then we only have 5 weeks until Christmas break. I think it will work out okay though. I will be sure to plan the more difficult units of study for those longer terms, and keep things a little lighter for the short terms.<br />
<br />
This step in the planning process takes much less time than the others. Since we have been homeschooling for 10 years now, (gasp!) I am aware of our tendencies and rhythms. It takes only an evening to sit down with a calendar and a blank form and jot down the dates. Getting the calendar figured out and down on paper gives me a settled feeling. Now I get to move on to my all time favorite part of homeschool planning - choosing curriculum!The Academy of the Good Shepherdhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03532215376466282909noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1414152713480801989.post-9570765943762933842012-05-30T09:44:00.000-04:002012-05-31T15:20:28.478-04:00Setting Goals is the 2nd StepAfter getting all my random thoughts and ideas down on paper, the next thing I do to plan is set some goals. In all honesty, I have to admit that I often start looking at curriculum way before I set goals, but I try to have the goals in mind once I start the process of actually choosing curriculum.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-j7GbKGqZDLw/T8YsYKl4gMI/AAAAAAAABW8/-lSoTF_NyIY/s1600/rock+wall+7-10+006.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-j7GbKGqZDLw/T8YsYKl4gMI/AAAAAAAABW8/-lSoTF_NyIY/s320/rock+wall+7-10+006.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
There are several ways to set goals. Some like to use the great forms available from <a href="http://donnayoung.org/homeschooling/index.htm">Donna Young's</a> website. I'm sure there are other sites and programs with goal setting forms. This year, I'm just writing them in my notebook. I try to keep my goals very general. In some cases I leave the nitty gritty to the program I'm using for a particular subject. An example would be math. I have always been very confident in the Saxon and Abeka math programs. I know that my children are getting everything they need if I follow one of these. I think I would find it too overwhelming to set specific goals for math. I admire those who can do this and then use various resources to help them meet those goals. English grammar is another example. I tend to use Voyages or Easy Grammar and I believe, once again, that both of these programs provide the content my children need to learn. So my goals are more general.<br />
<br />
An example of a general goal would be last year's reading goal for Jetter. As a fifth grader, Jetter was able to read, but his stamina for reading was low. A few minutes and he was done, moving on to climbing trees and wrestling with his brother. So, the goal for Jetter this past school year was to increase reading stamina. We accomplished this by simply finding series of books that Jetter was interested in. I started with the <a href="http://www.chcweb.com/catalog/category287_292/BushBoysAdventureSeries/product_info.html">Bush Boys</a> series which I found at CHC. I bought just the first book because I didn't know if he would like them. After one book he was hooked and I ended up buying all the rest. He has also read the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/J-R-R-Tolkien-Boxed-Hobbit-Rings/dp/0345340426/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1338384522&sr=1-3">Lord of the Rings Trilogy</a> and several of the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_2_5?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=redwall+series+by+brian+jacques&sprefix=redwa%2Cstripbooks%2C176">Red Wall</a> books. He is currently waiting (impatiently) to get the next in the series. He reads mostly before he goes to bed. He enjoys the privilege of staying up after lights out so he can read a while. And read he does! I am delighted that it was so easy to accomplish this goal of building reading stamina! Next year, the goal is to increase his writing stamina! I'm not sure that's going to be as easy.<br />
<br />
I try to set goals for each of my children in the five areas below. Sometimes, it works better if the whole family works on one particular goal. This is usually in the case of a virtue that I see lacking in my children and myself. I'll describe each briefly below but I think the one thing that is so important, and that I need to really work on, is the act of REVISITING these goals that I have written. I have, in the past, gone to great lengths to write out wonderful goals for my children and myself, only to stumble upon them in say, April, and think "Oh wow, I forgot we were going to work on that!" (Yes, I can be that scatter-brained! :) So the goal for keeping these goals always in mind is to revisit them on a regular basis. Since I will be dividing our school year up into 6 six-week terms, revisiting goals (and adjusting if need be) will happen at the end of each term.<br />

<strong>Academic Goals</strong> - I touched on this above. When possible, for the subjects like math, grammar and spelling, I try to use a program that I trust is going to cover the important objectives for each grade. Sometimes I will need to add, like in the case of memorizing multiplication facts, but for the most part I can list the goals for these subjects in terms of pages completed. So for Math I can list the academic goal as "Complete one lesson daily." At the end of the six week term I know my child should be at lesson 30, or close to it. Other subjects require more thought though. For example, I wrote about Jetter's reading goal above. For Social BF, the goal for reading is to read more challenging literature, not necessarily a greater quantity. I am including a Family Goal for Writing this year. I think this is an area that we as a family need to work on. I've ordered <a href="http://www.bravewriter.com/about">The Writer's Jungle</a> that I hope to read for inspiration to help us reach our goal in this area. So, in similar fashion, each child will have goals written for each subject that they will study.<br />

<strong>Behavioral Goals</strong> are more difficult for me to write. I think that is because I have to admit the misbehavior that is going on, and then make the efforts to correct it. I think most moms know the necessity of discipline, and I don't think I'm the only one that finds it difficult. To take away a child's privileges in order to teach them to follow the rules, or be kind, or respect property (or whatever it is) is not just a hardship on the child being disciplined, but on the parent doing the disciplining. Here is where the many prayers for grace come in! I have to pray in order to be the consistent, loving parent I need to be. Once again, writing these goals and then revisiting them each term helps us to stay on track. The beauty here is when the goal is met and you can give a great sigh of relief. ("Whew! Thank you Lord, that little Beany has learned to stop hitting in anger"!)<br />

<strong>Spiritual Goals</strong> are most often family goals. Perhaps we want to make attending Adoration weekly a goal or maybe we need to work on more reverence during our family prayer times. Or, maybe we're seeing the need to pay more attention at Mass. The latter was one that we accomplished a couple of years ago. It was quite simple: After Mass my husband would ask the kids what the Gospel was about, or the homily, or the first reading, etc. Since they new the question was coming they listened more intently. I also listened more intently because of the conversation that often began after the question was asked. This is also the area in which goals regarding virtue come in. Areas like self control, obedience, fortitude, etc. can all be spiritual goals.<br />

<strong>Social Goals</strong> are being added to my list for the first time this year. I think my children have done well in the social area so far. They see their friends on a regular basis and they all seem to do well in making new friends, although some are a little more quiet than the others. Also, one of the many advantages of having several children is that there is usually someone around to do things with. Jetter and Builder are together 24/7. Beany sometimes joins them or sometimes he and Patch play. Social BF is the one I worry about most in this area though. As she matures, she doesn't seem to want to play the same games as her brothers. She needs other girls her age to talk to. So we are making plans for guaranteed time with her friends on a regular basis. One of these plans is to continue the book club she started last year. It was quite a hit. All her friends came over once a week and discussed a book that they were all reading. It was simple, easy, and the girls just loved it. This year we are also talking about a co-op which will be a new experience for me. Boys Scouts is on the list of possibilities for the boys as well. All of these things take effort on my part (driving here and there, making sure to take the time to arrange for kids to come over, planning events like field trips that groups can do together ...) but social interaction is part of the whole development of a person, so, in my opinion, it's just as important as math or spelling.<br />

<strong>Physical Goals</strong> are pretty easy to cover around here! I am blessed (although at times it might seem more like a curse ;) with active children. But even though there is no lack of physical activity, there are <a href="http://www.ehow.com/info_8250625_objectives-elementary-physical-education.html">specific physical skills</a> a child should learn. Some of them are picked up by playing with their siblings and friends, but I usually try to involve my children in at least one sport each year. The fall is usually our busiest time of year with soccer and football. This year we are also considering Tae Kwon Do for the boys which will be more of a year round activity. Builder started last year and did very well. Social BF discovered her love for dance, so we will continue that for her. Even though we live in a small town, the list of opportunities is really quite extensive. Once again though, it takes that effort to get the kids to practices, watch the games and competitions, wash the uniforms, etc. It helps that my husband and I both see the need for this so we share the load. <br />
<br />
<br />
So, in ending this rather lengthy post, I will confess one of my goals! My goal for this coming school year is to not only prayerfully write the goals, but once again, to revisit them each term and adjust when necessary. I love the feeling of crossing a goal off the list once it is reached!The Academy of the Good Shepherdhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03532215376466282909noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1414152713480801989.post-61180266226421441302012-05-26T09:06:00.000-04:002012-05-27T10:12:41.956-04:00Battle Preparation<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Taking a little divergence from my planning posts to write about something controversial. This is something that is weighing so heavily on my heart and mind that I don't have much mental energy for anything else. I posed the question, "How do we prepare our children for the battle?" at the <a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MODGFamilies/">MODGFamilies</a> Yahoo group, so if you are part of that group this might sound familiar. I feel like this issue warrants a blog post, though I'm not sure I will be able to address it properly. Please bare with me.<br />
<br />
This whole question arose when, in choosing a speaker to give the commencement address at the high school my son attends, the faculty chose an openly gay man. This man had recently posted on face book, or maybe YouTube, that he was engaged to another man. Because of his openly gay stance, the principal decided to uninvite him to speak. As you can imagine, this caused quite a problem for the man invited to speak, his family, and the faculty at the school. I wont go into detail but suffice it to say things were a mess. After four years at this high school I was so happy Night Owl was graduating. I knew things weren't perfect there. The Religion classes weren't always the best, but there was nothing said or taught that we weren't able to discuss at home, and bring the Church's truth and clarity to. <br />
<br />
What I didn't realize, is that there was a prevailing attitude of relativism which had affected my son to some degree, and for many of the students at the school to a large degree. I don't think "relativism" was actually taught as in , "all is relative". But there was that underlying attitude of relativism that seeped its way into the school. I'm picturing it as a vile green smoke, that nobody seems to notice. No one sees it and it has no smell, but its affects are damaging like a poison.<br />
<br />
So we set the stage with relativism, and we throw in the fact that there is very little solid Catholic doctrine being taught. Now we have a shaky foundation on the building into which this green mist seeps. Finally, when the seniors at the school are just about to graduate an issue like this comes up.<br />
<br />
The teachers and students are angry at the principal who eventually blames everything on the Bishop. The students are in a frenzy. They all rally for the speaker. They make t-shirts in one of their classes, they make a "students against homophobia" video in another, they are given permission to call an assembly... What a frenzy! Everyone supports the speaker, but no one, no one, uses this as an opportunity to teach the students what the Church teaches. There are letters to the editor about how the Catholic Church teaches hate and fear. There are letters about bullying. Anyone who tries to speak out for the truth is considered a hateful homophobic. My son, and many others are confused. <br />

In all his life I never thought I would have to prepare him for this. We studied the Catechism, we studied the saints, we studied the Bible. I never thought to talk to him about how this issue would present itself in so much confusion that it would be hard to know what is right and what is wrong. The faculty member who was involved in choosing this speaker spoke of how they teach tolerance at the school. We did not know that going in. We would have made different choices. I am not a theologian but I do believe that tolerance is not a Catholic teaching. I believe that LOVE is a Catholic teaching and sometimes love is hard. Love tells us to love the person and help the person, not continue to enable him to live in a way that displeases God and will never make him happy. I love this quote by Fulton Sheen regarding tolerance (mentioned at MODGfamilies) ~<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"There is no other subject on which the average mind is so much confused as
the<br />
subject of tolerance and intolerance...<br />
Tolerance applies only to
persons, but never to principles.<br />
Intolerance applies only to principles, but
never to persons."</blockquote>

As my son graduates, I am relieved that this ordeal is over for him. I am even more relieved that he is back on track and all is well in his heart and soul. But I'm not willing to let it go. In speaking with a friend recently I was so tired of it all I said I was done and we're moving on. But I notice I can't just move on. The fact is, there are so many children at the school who have been affected by this mess. How are they moving on? Is it no big deal, "live and let live"? Are some choosing to act as though it never happened? Have some become militant in the campaign for gay rights? I don't know. I do know that I need to keep praying. I need to discern mightily - will any of my other children go to this high school? If so, how will I prepare them differently? If not, I have to realize this issue and others like it will come up in their lives no matter where they are. How do I prepare them for that? I don't know yet. I am praying for wisdom because I feel at this point that is all I can do. And then that nagging question... "Should I be doing more than just praying? Should I be in that school, in some way, to shine the light of Christ? Is there some way that I can dispel some of that green mist to bring the clarity of truth?" I need to pray for courage if that is the case, but I am surely lacking in it!<br />
<br />
I would like to end with a quote by a priest who is the pastor at another Catholic Church in our town. His homily a couple of Sundays ago was in response to the mess at the Parish in which we are members. His entire homily was beautiful. A very loving, compassionate explanation of the Church's teaching. I wished I had a tape recorder with me that day because I knew I would not be able to remember it all. He did send this short quote to me when I requested it, for which I am grateful. It is very pointed and a great explanation for all who don't understand why the Church does not accept the homosexual lifestyle~<br />

The key is the complementarity of men and women. Sexual complementarity has to do with God making the human person as male and female, and they are meant for union. This union is a bodily reality as well as a spiritual, emotional, and psychological reality. Only a man and a woman can enter into a bodily union in the natural way. The bodily union is sacramental for Christians as it is meant to express a union with God and a union that images God’s love in the world that is total and complete (bodily), forever (unending), and open to life (conception of new life) if they are of the proper age. Only a man and a woman can give and receive each other in this embrace in a total way (bodily, psychologically, emotionally, spiritually). Our bodies are important. Our bodies do matter and what we do in our bodies will have lasting effects on our hearts.</blockquote>

<br />
Now that I have my <a href="http://www.academyofthegoodshepherd.blogspot.com/2012/05/brain-clutter-solution.html">scattered thoughts down on paper</a>, I can begin to really organize for the coming year. I'm actually a bit late getting started on the planning process this year. My mind had been full of many things that we were dealing with, (like college hunting for Night Owl!) and planning for the future had to take a back seat for a bit. But, my enthusiasm for planning a new year, and the knowledge that planning is essential if I want to have a peaceful, successful year to come, has kept me from keeping it on the back burner for too long. <br />
<br />
I wont be linking back to any old planning posts, although there are many! My methods for planning have basically stayed the same, but each year I read about or come up with new ways to do things. For me, this keeps things fresh. I have an enthusiam for trying new things. I've often heard people say "If it isn't broken, why fix it?", but I'm always ready to tweak things or change things completely just for variety. <br />
<br />
So, how am I planning for the 2012-2013 school year? There are several things to take into consideration and I will hit on each of them in seperate posts to keep this one from getting too long. Here are the steps I will be taking:<br />
<ol>
<li>First, get all the random thoughts swirling around in my head down on paper. I already did this, and I'll call this first step "<a href="http://www.academyofthegoodshepherd.blogspot.com/2012/05/brain-clutter-solution.html">Brain Declutter</a>". Once this notebook is full, it wont be forgotten! I plan to re-read my notes regularly as I plan so that I don't forget to incorporate a new idea or a new resource.</li>
<li>Set Goals. I will do this for each child individually and for our family as a whole. This can be divided into five sections-</li>
<ol><ol>
<li>Academic Goals</li>
<li>Behavior Goals</li>
<li>Spiritual Goals</li>
<li>Social Goals</li>
<li>Physical Goals</li>
</ol>
</ol>
<li>School Calendar - This is simply deciding when our school year will begin and end, and any breaks that we will need to take throughout the year.</li>
<li>Choose Resources - This is the fun part! Here I carefully decide on the resources we will use to help us meet the above goals.</li>
<li>Create shopping lists. My lists cover the items I need to gather (already on my shelves) or purchase and from where I will purchase them.</li>
<li>Carefully consider how and when each resource will be used. This includes setting some loose goals regarding where the children will be in each resource per term.</li>
<li>Devise a method to keep everyone informed of what they are to do each day, in each subject.</li>
<li>Create a daily schedule and work out the logistics.</li>
</ol>
I thought my list was complete but I just happened to jump over see what was going on at <a href="http://wildflowersandmarbles.blogspot.com/">Wildflowers and Marbles</a> and I found <a href="http://wildflowersandmarbles.blogspot.com/2012/05/planning-in-pretty-notebooks.html">this beautiful idea</a>! Jen is awesome when it comes to pretty organizing ideas! So adding a number 9 -<br />
<br />
9. Organize it all into some pretty notebooks!<br />

I thought I would come back to this and add links to the planning posts that follow. They are not all complete, but here are the next, completed posts:<br />

<br />
Over at <a href="http://4real.thenetsmith.com/default.asp">4Real</a> some of the ladies are talking about <a href="http://4real.thenetsmith.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=42205&PN=1">Decluttering the Mind.</a> I thought I'd share a bit about how I do that. This year in particular I've had a lot on my mind and not a lot of time to be organized. When I tried to sit down and start my planning for the coming year I had too many thoughts swimming around in my head! It made it difficult to focus. There were too many thoughts and not enough of the organization that my "type A" personality craves. This was causing much stress and anxiety. Enter the "Everything Notebook" or, to take a phrase from the ladies at 4Real, the "Brain Dump" Notebook.<br />
<br />
I bought this little journal notebook from my local store when it was on sale. It's a bit fancy for what I need. I'm not usually a "jewel studded" person, but I thought this was pretty, and the price was right. I had it sitting in my "giant bag of things to read and do" for a while until I decided I was going to use it to write random notes down, in no special order. Well it didn't take me long to nearly fill it! <br />
<br />

<em><span style="font-size: x-small;">"Giant Bag of Things to Read and Do"</span></em></div>
<br />
I keep it with me on a regular basis and I've discovered how valuable it is for when I'm waiting. I think I spend a lot of time just waiting - waiting to pick up Social Butterfly from dance, waiting for Night Owl to get done with his Chem lab at the university, waiting for various sports practices to end ...<br />
I used to keep all my notes on my computer, but I don't always have access to that. This little notebook has been just perfect for what I need. As I'm leaving the house it's become my habit to grab my phone, my purse, my keys, and now this little notebook.<br />
<br />
I decided right away that I was not going to try to keep it in any special "order". This was difficult for me! I don't even date the pages! That's because I want to keep it random. If I'm writing notes on our schedule for next year, I don't want to feel like I can't insert a note about Builder's Math. If things were dated and in some sort of order I would hesitate to write it down. I add these random notes by simply inserting a "random thoughts" box right smack down in the middle of my other strand of writing. I just draw a box around it and label it "Random Thought" or "Side Note" or some such thing. Then I continue on with my thoughts on scheduling, or whatever I happen to be writing about.<br />

Is it confusing to read then? Not really. I think since they are just my thoughts I can pretty much follow them. It's actually sort of fun to detour from what I'm writing to insert something completely off topic. I put these detours into boxes or surround them with brackets; something to set them apart from the original writing. I haven't gone so far as to use different colors yet. I'm afraid I'd get too caught up in the "artsy" part and lose track of my thoughts.<br />

This little notebook has really been the basis for much of my planning for the coming year. It's been a crazy Spring so far and before I could actually get to the nitty gritty of planning for the coming year, I had to get all the those thoughts swirling around in my head down on paper. My "Brain Dump" notebook has been just the thing I needed.The Academy of the Good Shepherdhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03532215376466282909noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1414152713480801989.post-60556103918016589292012-05-10T14:42:00.000-04:002012-05-10T14:42:22.400-04:00So, When Do You Blog?I have a question for those with blogs who read my blog... When do you find time to blog? <a href="http://sevenlittleaustralians.blogspot.com/2012/05/liebster-award.html">Erin</a> was so kind to comment <a href="http://sevenlittleaustralians.blogspot.com/2012/05/liebster-award.html">here</a> that I don't blog enough. I wish I could find the time to do more blogging. I have all sorts of ideas in my head that I would like to share. The trouble is, I think of something to blog about and look over at my computer. But on the way, my gaze passes "Mount Laundry-more", "the Valley of the Sink of Dirty Dishes", the angry looking daughter who is waiting for her math help, and my nose is telling me there is a 1 year old with a dirty diaper that needs changing - NOW.<br />
So, dear readers, when exactly do you find time to write the wonderful blog posts I read?

<br />
I'm delighted to recieve the Liebster Blog Award from my good friend Erin at <a href="http://sevenlittleaustralians.blogspot.com/">Seven Little Australians and Counting</a> ! Actually, she's not really an "in real life" friend. I wish she was though! I love reading Erin's blog posts and sharing ideas with her over at <a href="http://4real.thenetsmith.com/default.asp">4Real</a>. Maybe some day I'll get to Australia to meet her, or maybe she would rather come here ... probably not though. Michigan would seem rather boring ... and COLD compared to Erin's home town.<br />
<br />
My understanding is that the Liebster Blog Award is given to bloggers with less than 200 followers, to help them build their number of readers. With only 7 followers, I am just a humble little blogger sharing my thoughts, when I get a moment to do so! My hope is that some of my ideas may help my readers, just as I have been blessed by reading the blogs that others write.<br />
<br />
So now to pass this very nice award on to fellow bloggers:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.assumption-academy.blogspot.com/">Beginning With The Assumption</a> is a relatively new blog find for me. I enjoy reading the posts written by KackyK, another member of <a href="http://4real./">4Real.</a><br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.threeplustwo.net/">And The Kitchen Sink</a> is another great blog. I love to read about the very real adventures that happen in this wonderfully large family!<br />
<br />
Allison's blog, <a href="http://totustuusfamily.blogspot.com/">Totus Tuus Family</a> has always been one of my favorites. I think it is quite popular so I doubt she needs more readers, but I notice her members count is just under 200, so I'm going to include her!<br />
<br />
I've just found Catie's blog, <a href="http://ourcatholichomeschool.com/">Our Catholic Homeschool</a>. It was mentioned on the <a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MODGFamilies/">MODG Families Yahoo Group</a> just as I was about to write this blog post. Perfect timing! So far I've enjoyed reading some of her curriculum reviews and seeing the photo of her precious new baby!<br />
<br />
So there are four blogs that I am happy to direct you to! Hope you enjoy reading them as much as I have!The Academy of the Good Shepherdhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03532215376466282909noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1414152713480801989.post-21338446189028358992012-05-07T08:49:00.000-04:002012-05-10T14:42:46.744-04:00Time to PlanIt's that time of year again, time to plan for the upcoming school year. There are so many things to think about: Goals for each child, school supply storage, book storage, systems for keeping things organized, systems for assigning work, how to do a better job at keeping the house clean ...<br />
All this on top of just trying to finish up this year! <br />
<br />
This has been our busiest Spring ever! Between Confirmations and First Communions, Dance Recitals and Highschool Graduations I've hardly had time to think about next year. I feel like I'm in survival mode. I just keep thinking, "If I can just make it through June we'll be fine!" Yet, the planning bug is persistant so even while I'm planting daylillies and spreading mulch to get ready for the Open House my mind is working on planning for the school year of 2012-2013.<br />
<br />
So posts ahead will be about this and that, eventually getting to my final plans for next year. If all goes well, those ideas I have stored in my brain will be the basis for an exciting year of learning for all my children, and for me!The Academy of the Good Shepherdhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03532215376466282909noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1414152713480801989.post-48622203514034975012012-05-03T10:46:00.000-04:002012-05-10T14:42:46.747-04:00My First Blogger Award!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Wow! I am honored to receive my first blogger award! Thank you to <a href="http://stfrancishomeschool.blogspot.com/">St. Francis De Sales Homeschool</a> for the "Versatile Blogger Award". <br />
Here are the rules:<br />
<ul>
<li>Thank the person who gave you the award and link back to them.
</li>
<li>Tell your readers 7 things about yourself.
</li>
<li>Give this award to 15 recently discovered bloggers.
</li>
<li>Contact those bloggers and let them in on the news. </li>
</ul>
Okay, seven things about myself.... Hmmm. Grab a cup of coffee or something with caffiene because this wont be too exciting! :)<br />
<br />
1 - I had my 6th baby at the young age of 46.<br />
<br />
2 - My oldest son is headed to Hillsdale College in the fall, and my baby is 1.<br />
<br />
3 - My favorite vacation is camping - anywhere. I like condo's on a beach too, but tent camping is my all time favorite. Hotels are too confining for this family with 5 rough and rowdy boys!<br />
<br />
4 - I was a classroom teacher for 10 years before I started homeschooling. I loved the classroom but I love teaching my own children even more.<br />
<br />
5 - My favorite time of the school year is the planning time! I love to plan and I love to look at new curriculum. Nothing is more exciting than a blank spreadsheet just waiting to be filled in! <br />
<br />
6 - I don't like jelly beans!<br />
<br />
7 - My favorite meal is anything eaten with my husband in a nice, quiet and peaceful atmosphere. So PB&J in the car in a parking lot works just fine!<br />
<br />
Now I'm supposed to pass this award on to 15 recently discovered blogs. I will admit that not all 15 of these are recently discovered, but if you haven't discovered them I highly recommend them!<br />

<br />
I have tried many spelling programs since we started homeschooling. For various reasons, I found that, for my children, the traditional spelling workbook with a list and then several pages of activities just didn't work. Maybe it's the "why?" factor. My kids are like me, they don't just want to know how a word is spelled, or how a math computation is done, or how to diagram a sentence.... They want to know <strong>why</strong>. Why do I spell <em>chair</em> with an "ai" instead of using a final "e"? Why are <em>be, me</em> and <em>we</em> not spelled <em>bee, wee,</em> and <em>mee</em>? I think this made memorizing a list of words difficult for them. So I started looking for alternatives. I have actually used a couple of effective programs but today I am going to talk about <a href="http://www.allaboutlearningpress.com/all-about-spelling">All About Spelling</a>.<br />
<br />
I have found <a href="http://www.allaboutlearningpress.com/all-about-spelling">All About Spelling</a> to be quite effective. I will admit that the program is "mom-intensive" but I think any effective spelling program is going to take some mom time. I also believe the time that I put in with my children in the beginning will pay off later when they no longer ask me how to spell every other word. I find that All About Spelling gives them the tools to spell words so they no longer need my help.<br />
<br />
Several of my children have used this program at one stage or another but I am going to concentrate on Jetter since he seemed to benefit the most from it. One of the benefits of this program is the use of tiles. This was especially helpful for Jetter early on as handwriting was painful for him. He didn't have to write anything, so he could concentrate on learning to spell. I appreciated that the tiles were colored to differentiate the vowels and the consonants. He learned early on that every word has to have a vowel. If the word he was spelling was all blue, I would simply ask "where's your vowel"?<br />
<br />
As Jetter got older he started to get a little bored with the tiles so we tried some different things. First, I continued to use the white board to which I had originally attached (with magnets) the letter tiles. Instead of using the magnet letters, I gave Jetter two different colored dry erase markers. He could write big so that was nice, and the colors once again helped him to see the vowels, vowel combinations, consonants, etc. This was a great way to renew his interest when things started to get a bit stale. (The end of February is always a good time to break out something new, in my opinion!)<br />
<br />
I also discovered, once again as Jetter got older, that this program is fun to do at the computer. I would let Jetter choose whatever font he wanted, as long as the letters were clear (no ultra-fancy calligraphy). We enlarged the font to about 18 to make it extra clear and then he chose his two colors. Doing it at the computer was really great because I could go back and use the highlighting tool to point out specific spelling patterns to him.<br />
<br />
The use of dictation sentences is another plus. Both phrases and sentences are given as dictation exercises. I think this is invaluable. Children can learn to spell words in lists, but often I hear, and find in my own situation, that the correct spelling of these words is not carried over to their other written work. It can be quite frustrating to put stars and "A"s on a child's spelling tests week after week and then find that in their written work they can't spell well at all. Practicing the words within sentences for dictation really helps.<br />
<br />
One last point I would like to make regarding the "mom time" required. If several children are using the program, the cards that come with it are great! I can ask Social Butterfly to use the cards to quiz Jetter or vise-versa. I used the cards to test my kids at the end of the lesson. If they missed a word I just tucked it back into the section for the next lesson. That way it was easy to remember that the child needed a little more review in that area and I didn't have to make any markings in my book. (I know, "big deal" - insert eye roll). But, if you're like me, you might jot little pencil notes to yourself in your teacher's manuals. With several children using, or who will be using the program all those little pencil jottings add up. Simply putting the card in the pile of next week's words reminds me to review that concept.<br />
<br />
So <a href="http://www.allaboutlearningpress.com/all-about-spelling">All About Spelling</a> has been an excellent program for us. I highly recommend it. Even for those with older children, it can be tweaked in the ways I mention above so they don't feel it's too juvenile. One thing though, if you do decide to tweak it, I think the tiles are important, at least in the beginning of using the program, regardless of the child's age. There's just something about the concept of building the word that helps.<br />
<br />
Lastly, the people at <a href="http://www.allaboutlearningpress.com/all-about-spelling">All About Spelling</a> are great about answering questions! I posted one a couple of years ago and not only did I get a quick reply, but the representative took the time to post a lengthy and detailed answer to my question. He or she also continued to converse with me as I asked about other scenarios. So another plus - the customer service is very helpful!The Academy of the Good Shepherdhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03532215376466282909noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1414152713480801989.post-90387340516798358972012-03-24T12:34:00.000-04:002012-04-28T06:03:27.929-04:00Finally, Spring, after a very long Winter!Looking at my last blog post and noticing how long it's been since I posted helps me to realize that I was in a "mood" for almost a year. It's hard to describe it - not depression, not burn out - maybe just "lack of enthusiasm". Of course, the trip I was planning in that last blog post was wonderful. We enjoyed South Dakota and Colorado especially. So much so that I was ready to pick up and move someplace where there were mountains.<br />
But, coming back home wasn't anything too exciting and I settled back into this "mood". The school year started okay. I had planned some really neat stuff, but for most of this year we have just sort of plugged along, getting it done because it was on our list, fighting off the temptation to do the minimum just to say it's done, etc. What happened to our love for learning, our excitement about a new book or experiment we were starting? What happened to the long afternoon tea times when everyone was content to sit and listen to the books we were reading aloud? This year, it seems like everything was forced for some reason. Textbooks took the place of "living books" because "everything" was all conveniently covered. Workbooks ruled the day because they were easy for me to assign. Sigh. <br />
"SIGH" - that's how I felt, like one big "SIGH".<br />
<br />
Now, lest you become too discouraged, I will say I eventually saw the light in this seemingly endless tunnel of "sigh-dom"! I'd been praying and praying. Wondering why I felt this way. Wondering if (gasp!) this was to be the end of our homeschooling adventure. Wondering what plans the Lord had for us.<br />
<br />
But slowly, painfully slowly, I began to see light. It reminded me of the years we chose to drive through the night on our family vacations. Those hours in the middle of the night when there was little traffic (a plus!) and my poor tired husband, who had just driven 10+ hours was knodding off or sleeping and it was just me, in the dark, trying desperately to get a little farther before I had to wake him back up. But then, the sky starts to lighten and then (after almost an eternity it seems) the first rays of the sun come up over the horizon. Ta da! I remember one year my brother telling me he cranked up the Alleluia Chorus right at that moment and woke up his whole car load of kids. But it's like that! The sunlight brings new hope. Yes, I can make it all the way to Florida, or Colorado, or wherever we are going. The sun is coming up and look! There's a Starbucks at the next exit! :)<br />
<br />
I'm not exactly sure of what caused the "light" here, except for grace. Lots of grace. But I began, all of a sudden, to see the value of what is happening in our little academy. I think, in my times of sigh-dom, I had lost sight of that. I remember thinking things like, "We don't need to study Latin. It's too hard. What's the use?" and "Why am I making my kids memorize the Preamble to the Constitution? Do they really need to do that? Does it really matter?"<br />
<br />
Oh yes! More than ever it matters! These doubting thoughts were lies of course. The Lord began to slowly open my eyes to the truth. Just little glimmers of sunlight peeking through at random times. One thing that really helped was Night Owl's college choice. <a href="http://www.hillsdale.edu/">Hillsdale College</a> is a small liberal arts college with very high academic standards. Guess what? All the "stuff" I was doubting and thinking was unimportant is very important to the folks at Hillsdale. I know there are other colleges that are similar. But even more importantly, all the "stuff" I was doubting is very important to my children! Whether they go to college or not. Another thing that has helped is all the talk about Charlotte Mason over at the <a href="http://4real.thenetsmith.com/default.asp">4Real Boards</a>. A renewed interest in all things Charlotte Mason has been very helpful! And then there is the realization that, as a homeschooling mom, my loss of hope was causing me to shirk the responsibility of truly teaching my children to learn, and even more importantly to "<em>love to learn</em>". <br />
<br />
So, with renewed hope, lots of thanks-giving, and some "sunshine on my shoulder" we will keeping moving on. I've started to plan for next year and I can tell you I am so excited about the books we will be reading and the experiments we will be doing. My own excitement will spill over to the children, just as, I'm afraid to admit, my "sigh-dom" spilled over. I'm ending this post with a promise of prayer for all my fellow homeschoolers. I know it's difficult at times and the gloom sets in. We start to lose our way in the darkness or feel that the burden is too great. But there is hope, it IS coming. Be patient. Pray, pray, pray! Talk to friends, spouses, priests. <br />
<br />
This is such a wonderful journey, and I am so thankful to be on it!The Academy of the Good Shepherdhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03532215376466282909noreply@blogger.com3
