Here we are two weeks into our current school year, so what have I learned?<\/p>\n

— My Diva wants to learn cursive.\u00a0 This will be hard considering I HATE cursive and haven’t used it in years.\u00a0 Guess I’d better remember quick. Good thing I’ve got the internet.\u00a0 There are plenty<\/a> of<\/a> resources<\/a>, freely<\/a> available<\/a>, including fonts<\/a>.\u00a0 The best resource, however, is likely Donna Young’s Cursive Handwriting<\/a>.\u00a0 Lots of worksheets, animations, and more.<\/p>\n

— Diva hates our current history curriculum<\/a> because there aren’t enough females taught about in the text.\u00a0 So, Google to rescue again! I’ve been supplementing the book with research about females from the era.\u00a0 Luckily we are headed into the Exploration\/Frontier life era.\u00a0 I just happen to own all the Little House on the Prairie books.\u00a0 Thank you Laura Ingalls Wilder!<\/p>\n

— After a week of spelling, I’ve learned that while my youngest boy is doing a decent job learning to read, his spelling is atrocious. Then I found (via a friend on facebook) this article about good readers who spell horribly<\/a>, and realized…\u00a0 I need to take my boy back to phonemes.\u00a0 We need to try to intervene in these neural pathways and make sure they being formed properly.<\/p>\n

— After the above breakthrough, I had another breakthrough with my youngest.\u00a0 It seems that his vision is all sorts of wonky again.\u00a0 He’s seeing everything, but it’s off to the right and down from where it’s actually printed. IE:<\/p>\n

\"Vv111-vision\"<\/p>\n

So apparently spelling is the least of his worries.\u00a0 We’ve got to get those eyes back on track.\u00a0 Sigh.\u00a0 Guess it’s time to visit Dr. Wescott again.<\/p>\n

— Capt 740 is doing well, and learning how to do all this stuff on his own.\u00a0 It’s kind of a relief to finally have one old enough to work on his own primarily.<\/p>\n
