He dove suddenly and went in low over a field of rye to gather speed. He nosed the plane straight up and was pinned against the back of his seat.

Scrapbook Pages - August 2005

Opening Ceremony and 2 games

Yesterday, we had the opening ceremony for baseball and a double header.

The opening ceremony was a complete waste of time. The kids stood on the field and did absolutely nothing. They did do the drawing for all of the raffle tickets. We didn't win anything but a mom on our team one the 42" TV, so that was kind of cool.

The PA system they have didn't work. So they used the one in a police car, gotta love living in a small town.

Emerson got to draw one of the raffle tickets

But the boys mostly looked like this



Then they had two games 1 playing the Blacksox and another against the Braves. We did okay against the Blacksox and one but were stomped by the Braves. We didn't even get to score. Last year, our team, the Rockets, dominated for the most part only losing one game all season. Now most of our team has aged out and moved on to coach pitch.

Part of the first game and the second game I worked it the dug out. It SUCKED!!! It was like dealing with Ethan on his worst day * 14 kids.  I hope to never end up in there again.

2011 - 2012 School Year

I loved using Moving Beyond the Page this year and highly recommend it but Ethan didn't like it very much, his main complaint being it wasn't hard enough. So this year I sat down researched and have put together our own curriculum. I'm nervous just thinking about going it on my own.

For Ethan

Spelling -Soaring With Spelling Level 1

Grammar -Growing With Grammar Level 1

Handwriting -Handwriting Without Tears - haven't decided between 1st or 2nd grade level. My friend has both so I'm going to take a look before I purchase them. Decided on 2nd grade

Art -Meet the Masters Track A Year 1

Math -Teaching Textbooks Math 3 (if Ethan can pass the placement test when it comes time to order everything) or Mathematical Reasoning Level C I'm going to start with Mathematical reasoning level c and then move onto teaching textbooks when we finish

History -Story of the World Volume 1

Science - Classic Science Elementary Chemistry

Music - Children's Music Journey

Some other things I plan on purchasing for the school year.

From Mindware

• Writing Prompts Grade 1


• I Have, Who Has Math Grade 1 to 2


• Math Mosaics Addition and Subtraction


• Meg Mackintosh Mysteries Books 1 - 4 and if he likes those Books 5 - 8

For Emerson

who asks daily where her school work is, I'm going to get

Mathematical Reasoning Beginning 1

I'm also going to have her do Meet the Masters and Children's Music Journey with Ethan

Imaginets

lapbooks for alphabet, numbers, seasons, days of the week, and months

If she starts showing signs that she is ready to learn to read I'm thinking around her 4th birthday or so I'll purchase Headsprout for her.
