Thank You!

My ds19 is a mechanic. Some of his co-workers attended college, but ds attended our local vocational school for his junior and senior years of high school. He took automotive repair classes. His core classes weren't anything special. Now he study's the different areas of repair on his own, and as he gains on job experience he is able to get his certifications.

We have plenty of those days. :lol:
Stopping what were doing and taking a time out usually works for us. I send my ds to his room or somewhere that he can be alone. No TV, no games, nothing just him with alone with time to unwind. I tell him to come back when he's ready to work. When he's decided he's ready the rest of the day usually goes good.

I enjoy square foot gardening. The dirt is loose, and the sections are small. It just seems more manageable to me.
My squares are 6 inches deep, with wooden bottoms. Everything seems to grow fine.
For my tomatoes I prefer the cages over the recommended trellis. And I only used one kind of compost.
Yesterday I saw that the first spring plants are starting to pop up in my area. I am ready for the growing to begin!:D

I'm doing a lot of flip flopping as well.
My math plan started with Singapore, but then I went to MM. MM didn't work and now we're back to using Singapore. Next fall we're switching to CLE math. I'm also planning to give LoF a try.
Writing has been a mad mix as well. Back and forth between WWE & Writing Strands. Neither are working and now I have my eye on IEW. I just bought the Unit 1 & 2 source text e-book to experiment with.
We've strayed away from our Science & History curriculum too (boring), and we are just been winging it.:lol:
I have experience homeschooling my older dc during their middle school years, but this is my first year homeschooling this ds. It just takes a bit of trial and error to find what will works sometimes.:confused:

I've always loved the name Hannah (it was an old family name). But my husband didn't nix it. Nature did... I have three boys. :lol:

Before I had my wisdom teeth taken out I was terrified of having it done. Turned out that I was worrying over nothing. That same evening after having them pulled I went and watched my sons baseball game, and did exactly what I would have done any other day (although I wasn't aloud to drive). It was the same way for my son when he had his out too.
Everybody's experience is different. Ours was good. Hopefully hers will be too.

Writing
Dictation is being done through AAS but that is all. I have WWE, Writing Strands, and Write Source. None of them are working for us. I'm still debating on where to go from here. Maybe IEW.:confused:

Our local schools all ranked a 9.

Looks like a book my ds will really enjoy. I put in a hold with the library as well. :)

To Jean in Newcastle: I don't have any definition in mind. Any definition is fine.
Thanks to all for taking the time to respond. I knew I could count on the members of this forum to give me a more thoughtful answer than a simple ability to read.

I'm taking an online class and my assignment is to ask people what it means to be literate. Then I have to write an essay on it the subject. So, if anyone would like to share their answer to the question "what does it mean to be literate?" please do. I'm not looking for any right answer, just opinions.
