School has started

It's that time of year and School has officially started.  Our Home School begin on Thursday last week so we have two days in so far.  It started out a little crazy but all ended well.  The next day went a lot smoother and the kids were studying hard.  It has finally cooled down a bit so much as at night we have to keep the windows shut to keep the cold out.  Sure beats those 100 degree days we were having.  We have another new Cockatiel to add to the group.  The baby birds are growing and more eggs are ready to hatch.  It has been a great year for the birds around here.  I counted over thirty chickens the other day and the children love playing the catch chicken game.  The new puppies are running around the yard eating good and are old enough to make it on their own but the children do not want to give them away.  They have too much fun with them!  It's off to house cleaning and coupon cutting I go but here is a wrap up of whats been happening in my little world!

Homeschool Tip Of The Day

It's not what you say but what you do. Actions do speak louder than words! While homeschooling your children it is so important to remember that you can speak all day with your mouth, but when it comes right down to it your children are going to grasp what you say when you practice what you preach. They are watching every move you make. This is your time to shine and make a positive impact on your teaching efforts! When your days are weary, arise and shine and let your enemies be scattered! YOU will Succeed!

Stilts History and Homeschooling

Ok, here is one homeschool project you don't see everyday! Walking on stilts (also known as tied-on long feet) an old custom in China. You may have seen them in a circus act if you have ever been to a circus. Not only did we get to learn about stilts the children actually made a set. I am having trouble with the uploading process but will upload a picture as soon as it is working correctly. Have a great day!
