[So if you were to write something on your schoolroom walls...what would it be?]

Love it!

 

Here is my favorite, "Educating is not the filling of a bucket, but the lighting of a fire." by W.B. Yeats.

 

That's my favorite school quote too!

[What program do you love that you are surprised is not more well-known/liked?]

Cozy Grammar--We bought this several years ago after reading good reviews, but I never hear it mentioned anymore. My kids love this program because she makes grammar easy to understand. It's a short dvd lesson (no more than 10 min.) and then a worksheet. They find her amusing too.

 

Rainbow Science--we'd had great success with this program. The down side is that it's pricey.

 

Writing Strands--at least for the younger grades (haven't used past book 4.)

[Fess up: How many of the home schoolers here...]

Well the main floor is still relatively clean, but that is because I cleaned it before bed last night and we have barely been home. THe upper level and the basement, I would hide my head in shame if anyone actually saw them right now. Hopefully by the end of the weekend my upper floor will be cleaned up again. Of course it never lasts long with these little tornadoes living here.

 

That's how my house usually is.....it's really hard to have it all clean at the same time.

[The most interesting thing I saw at the HS convention yesterday was...]

I'm interested in knowing more about this also.

[I have color coded my kids!]

I have done this with many things. I want to do it with cups now. I am tired of 20 dirty cups on the counter just from a "quick drink of water". :glare:

 

 

Oh, me too!
