Made me giggle

The Tiaras cover many different subjects in their homeschool studies. Some we do on a daily basis, some three days a week, some two days a week and some we only touch on one day a week. Tiara 2 does a 'Symbols of America' book which she uses on a daily basis. The exercises are short and sometimes involve coloring. Tiara 2 just turned 7 so she enjoys that sort of thing. Actually, Tiara 1 enjoys it as well. Anyway, a few weeks ago, Tiara 2 had to color the President's Seal. She likes to be very independent and is a great speller so she didn't bother to ask how to spell the President's name. Tiara 1 looked at the page when Tiara 2 was finished and said "Oh my goodness, that looks like BROKE-OBAMA!

Woo Hoo!

For those of us who homeschool, Discovery United Streaming can be (and is, in our household) an invaluable tool. I'm not certain of other states but here in Georgia, we, as homeschoolers, have free access to the site (thanks to Georgia Public Broadcasting). There are certain criteria that must be met to renew your "subscription" every year including the sending of your Declaration of Intent but other than that, the process is extremely simple. On August 1, every homeschooling family that I knew lost their access to the United Streaming website and the poor admin assistant who is in charge of memberships for all homeschoolers in the state of Georgia (we are plentiful, let me tell ya) got bombarded with requests to rejoin. I have been waiting (and waiting and waiting) to regain access. It's an incredible site with anything and everything under the sun available for viewing. I FINALLY got my password this morning! WOO HOO! The Tiaras will be so stoked! Especially Tiara 1 who, like her mother, is a visual learner. Off to check it out now... Have a wonderful weekend!

Sorting out...

all of the curriculum info for next year. I'm trying so hard to get ahead of the game (for once) as I know that eventually, we will get overwhelmed with the hectic schedules of soccer, dance and the occasional co-op class and I will struggle to maintain our schedule. The girls enjoy going full-speed but they sure do wear me out!
