Snow Day

Homeschoolers don’t have snow days! Why do schools cancel? So parents don’t have to drive their darlings through the snow – OR- (more likely this time) so the school doesn’t get stuck with the kids over the weekend!!!

So why would a homeschooler have a snow day? We don’t have to drive to school!!  I have no problem giving them  a lighter day so they can get out in the snow. However, my children seem to think that it’s their RIGHT to get a snow day because everyone else does. That could explain their cruddy attitude this morning. But wouldn’t you think, that knowing that they can go out and play with friends when their work is done, they would hustle??

Whining is not hustling! GRRRRR!

Pali-what?

I know it’s not Wordy Wednesday….but I need some brain food. Please send me your favorite palindromes. ( A word, phrase, sentence, or verse that reads the same backward or forward.)

Do you remember when you/your kids first realized that Mom and Dad were the same spelled forward and backward? You/They thought that was SOOOO cool.

Here’s a sentence to get you started! Madam, I’m Adam. (Adam’s first words to Eve?) I’m expecting great things from you!

EDIT: This one’s for Anna B:)  (Laynie girl – make sure you show her this!!) Anna: “Did Otto peep?” Otto: “Did Anna?”

Books for homeschool or NOT!

After I wrote about the two books earlier, I started thinking about books that I often recommend to people. The following book is not just wonderful for homeschoolers, but for anyone who wants to help their child do better in school. The author is Peggy Kaye, and the book is Games for Learning. She has three other books as well- Games for Math, Games for Reading, and Games for Writing. As in my last book post, if you only get one, get Games for Learning because it covers a little bit of everything.
