We have started to school all year. We just have to many things that just pop up that we need those summer months to stay on track.:)

We have 3 kids that sound just like yours and one happens to be a 6 year old boy! He is hooked on the computer and video games and that is all he thinks about. Last week we started a new system for rewarding our kids for doing their school work correctly and in a timely manner. For each subject they complete they get a ticket for 5 minutes on the computer and if they make it through all of their subjects with out any problems we give them a bonus ticket for 10 minutes. This has worked really well. My kids need a reward of some kind that they can hold and understand. They have to keep track of the tickets and this has also help with the whining when their turn is over. HTH.:) Lori

started to do more. We try to do one crafty thing a day. My kids love anything with an activity or craft involved. They do retain more when I have them do a project. I am just not a project type mom.:( I am trying though!:) Luckily, my husband has taken over the science experiments. I just really can't get it to those.

I tend to only post Wordless Wednesdays and Weekly Reports. I am more of a lurker. I tend to read everyone else's posts then if I can't find an answer to my question I will post. I have learned so much just by lurking!:)

Wordless Wednesday http://www.carrhomeschool.blogspot.com

My name is Lori, married to dh for almost 11yrs. We live in North Texas. We have a dd 10, ds 6, and ds 4. We have been homeschooling for almost 3 years. Dd was in ps though the 2nd grade when we just couldn't take it anymore. I had never really heard of homeschooling until a new family joined our church that homeschooled and just talking with them let me know there was really another option out there other than ps. We couldn't afford private school. So, we went against every member of our families and most of our friends advice, and started to homeschool. Dd has had a hard road getting up to grade level these last 3 years and is still struggling but it is amazing how far she has come. It is amazing how much damage being in ps from K-2 did. We just enrolled her in K12 and we are loving it. With ds6 we are following WTM suggestions and he is doing great. Ds4 we are doing http://www.letteroftheweek.com and BFIAR. The are both doing great. Hope everyone has a good evening, Lori
