Yes, the groundhog was right -- a late spring.</span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">So spring is a time of change. We let go of winter and begin to experience a little bit of warmer weather. We go through our clothes and put the warm clothes away, bring out the lighter outfits. (Well, not just yet where I live, but it is supposed to hit 70 tomorrow, anyway...)</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">For my family, this spring marks a big change. We will move from the only home my son has ever known and relocate south by one state to set up residence in a new home. The lad is away at college and will not see his childhood home again. He will come "home" to a different house (but at least we're telling him where we moved to, right?).</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">I was going to insert photos of houses, old and new, but my technology is not cooperating so I will have to do that later. Thanks for reading.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Comments welcome for folks who have done relocating. Tell me your stories. The new house is wonderful, but like any house is not perfect. We had hoped for a main level master bedroom, but it was not meant to be.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><div class="blogger-post-footer">This copyrighted article was originally published on <a href="http://homeschool-review.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Homeschool Review</a>.

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here is my meal plan for this week. To say I feel like I am in a food-planning rut would be an understatement. Nevertheless, it needs to be done. I am beginning to make some meals that I can save a portion as a freezer meal to take to my daughter when the baby is born. The chili is one of these meals.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I taught myself how to play guitar when I was 14. Back then the available methods were to either pay for classes or learn from a book. I taught myself chords from books. I became proficient enough to play with another guitar player to lead the music for our school's Young Life Club meetings. So I started with the notion that I am not a beginner.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Nevertheless, I figured I would start with the Absolute Beginner course.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I really expected I would be giving a quick overview of the beginner's course and then be moving on to the 13-week course. I was very wrong. Clearly there is a lot to learn about guitar that I did not learn from a chord book starting at age 14. From Lesson 1, I was scrambling to remember all the new information that was being introduced. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In Lesson 1, day 1, I learned the names of the parts of the guitar and the strings that are on the guitar. So, I had previously learned high E and low E, but I had never learned the strings in between. I didn't need them to play the chords C, G, A, Em and D, so I didn't bother. Here is the content in Week 1:</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Then the instructor began introducing chords. I immediately learned that my fingernails were too long. They grow fast, and I have had to cut and file constantly during this review!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Not one chord that has been introduced so far is a chord I already knew (or that I hadn't forgotten)! So... I'm not even done with the introductory course for Absolute Beginners, but I couldn't finish! There was so much to learn! (In the photos below I would tell you what the chords are if I could, but I'm still struggling to remember how to play them, let alone which chord each one is.)</span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The first chord was introduced in Week 2:</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The rest of the chords, progression, strumming, etc. for the song were introduced in Week 3, as well as how the chords all go together with someone singing the song:</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">After learning many chords which are played up and down the neck of the guitar, on frets up to frets 7 to 9, a song was introduced using all the chords. I wanted to finish Practice levels 2 and 3, but I wanted to be able to do the song well, and I just don't have it yet. There are strumming techniques that have been introduced that I just don't have down yet, and chords that I just can't play (and make sound good) yet.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Don't let me scare you away -- I am actually just trying to say, "Don't dismiss this "Beginner" course. It is not just for beginners! Check it out!"</span></span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The course is taught on an acoustic guitar. I only have a classical guitar, so that is what I had to use. I suspect that some of the problems I am having with some of the chords may be because of the guitar I am using. I think the neck is wider. I envy the instructor for his long fingers -- he makes things look easy, but I struggle to do the same chords with my shorter fingers and just... can't... make them sound right! It may, however, just be that I need more practice. This brings me to the beauty of a self-paced video course. 1) I can go at my own pace. 2) I can repeat the video as many times as I want, playing along with the video. This differs from paying an instructor for in-person lessons once or twice a week. When you walk away, if you aren't able to remember what was covered it is difficult to practice until the next lesson. You might be practicing something incorrectly, cementing improper information into the brain and improper chord holds into muscle memory. With video lessons you can repeat and repeat and repeat until you completely grasp it and are ready to move on.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">To recap, this Semester 1 Bundle comes with the 3-Week Absolute Beginner Bonus Content, the 13-week Semester 1 course, and Bonus Songs Lessons 1 & 2. The beginner course teaches parts of the guitar, strings on the guitar, tuning, a series of fret chords that are used in a song that is taught, strumming techniques and some picking. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The Semester 1 course covers:</span></span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Fundamental chord shapes;</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A textural 16th note approach to strumming;</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Basic Chord Vocabulary;</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Sharps, Flats, Chord names</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Finding all A's, B's and E's on the guitar</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Solfege</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The Major scale</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The Minor scale</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Minor Pentatonic scale</span></span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This is in just the first five weeks, and there is so much there that I am not listing! This course is so amazing! I am really looking forward to going through it. There is so much I have yet to learn! I'm going to continue working on this program, because I hope to impress my son when he comes back from college for his winter break. Or, if he is not impressed yet in December, when he comes back from college after his spring semester I am hoping he will be so impressed that he will also go through the course! He also taught himself to play guitar, as I did, but with the advantage of learning from YouTube videos. His playing is so much more advanced than mine, but I still think there is a lot he could learn from this course!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In September I learned of an upcoming product for review by </span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><a class="bbc_link" href="https://lisatannerwriting.com/" rel="nofollow" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: #e7eaef; border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(51, 68, 102); color: #334466; cursor: pointer; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;" target="_blank"><b style="font-weight: bold;">Lisa Tanner Writing</b></a>.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The product is called </span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><a class="bbc_link" href="https://lisatannerwriting.com/balancing-diapers-and-deadlines/" rel="nofollow" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: #e7eaef; border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(51, 68, 102); color: #334466; cursor: pointer; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;" target="_blank">Balancing Diapers and Deadlines</a>. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><a class="bbc_link" href="https://lisatannerwriting.com/balancing-diapers-and-deadlines/" rel="nofollow" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: #e7eaef; border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(51, 68, 102); color: #334466; cursor: pointer; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;" target="_blank">Balancing Diapers and Deadlines</a></span></span> was created by a mom of many blessings. I think she has nine children. (One was born during this review period!) She had to come up with a system to manage her family well and still run her home business. Once she created her system, she decided to make it available so that other moms could also benefit from it!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">At first glance you might think this product is not a good fit for you, or that it is not something you need. After all, maybe you do not have nine children, but only two or three, Maybe you do not have a home business.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In my own situation, you might have thought it silly for me to volunteer for this review. In my situation -- all children now adults and out of the home, and no home business -- it might seem an unnecessary course to consider.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In actuality, though, in my situation time seemed to be slipping through my fingers. No diapers, no children, few deadlines... time seemed to be slipping through my fingers. I volunteered for this review -- asked for it, actually! -- because I wanted help redeeming my time. I actually have a lot of things I want to get done, need to get done, should get done... but without deadlines, time just kept slipping by and very little was getting done. I was anxious to get started!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My goal during the review period was to work on the course at least three days per week. I wanted to actually work on the course more days per week, but I think I averaged three days per week once I got started. When I first logged into the course I was actually out of town, visiting my son's college for Parent Weekend. Once I got back I did my best to get started quickly. Once I got going, I realized I could either cover sections of the course daily or read a section and then try to apply it, but I could not go at a fast pace if I was also trying to implement the course work.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm sure you would find it helpful to see an outline of the course. Here is the outline:</span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></span><br />

</ul>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The first item from the course that totally benefited me was a plan that might seem obvious to some, but it was something I was not doing. The program recommends having a daily family meeting, going over the schedule and the things that need to be done, and assign tasks to family members. For me that meant meeting with my family of one every day over breakfast, making sure I had a "To Do" list, prioritizing it, and start tackling my list.</span></span><br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Such a simple task, yet it has really helped me to get things done. I didn't do it perfectly, but I did my best, and here is what I found:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1) I got more done when I wrote things down so that I had a list to follow;</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2) When I wrote things down, it made it easier to make sure I got important things done, that I didn't forget to do important things; and</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3) When I did things from a list I had a better sense of accomplishment. For instance, yesterday I had a list "in my head", but at the end of the day I felt like I had only gotten three significant things done. </span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When my husband
got home and asked me what I'd done that day, I was like, "Dog to and from his shampoo, and two packages to the
post office." Then I felt like I'd been a real slug!</span></span> When I finally thought back on my day more thoroughly I realized I had actually:</span></span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">cleaned the master bathroom</span></span></li>

Lisa Tanner actually shops for her family only once a month. Eleven people, and a shopping trip only once a month -- I can't even imagine! Anyway, I really look forward to spending more time learning her method of using the Excel spreadsheet. I have a lot to learn there, and she explains the use of Excel very well.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Lisa Tanner has a method of meal planning that plans the entire year's meals for an entire year! She integrates into this meal planning system a day of the week per child (of an age that matters, so not the newborn, and she doubles up the second child with the oldest child). The child of the day helps plan the menu plan for the year, selecting meals that will be served on that child's days of the week, breakfast, lunch, dinner and shack. The child then has a vested interest in the day's meals, and that child works with mom that day to get the selected foods ready at each meal. It's a great system!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There is still so much for me to cover in this course. I can hardly wait! But I am breathing a sigh of relief now that I will have written the review, because I can slow down my pace. I really want to get into the information about using the Excel spreadsheet for the meal plan / shopping list system. I am not likely to shop once a month (I live one mile from the grocery store), and I am not likely to plan my menu for an entire year (my husband likes a little more flexibility than that), but I am looking forward to figuring out what I will use from Lisa Tanner's systems!</span></span><br />

The story of </span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><a class="bbc_link" href="http://www.stbartholomewseve.com/" rel="nofollow" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: #e7eaef; border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(51, 68, 102); color: #334466; cursor: pointer; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;" target="_blank">St. Bartholomew's Eve</a></span></span> is set in France in the 1570's.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">For many years Protestants in France, known as Huguenots, had been fleeing from persecution, going to Switzerland, Holland or England. The story of </span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><a class="bbc_link" href="http://www.stbartholomewseve.com/" rel="nofollow" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: #e7eaef; border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(51, 68, 102); color: #334466; cursor: pointer; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;" target="_blank">St. Bartholomew's Eve</a></span></span> begins with 16-year-old Philip Fletcher, born in England to Huguenot emigrants, travels to France to stay with his aunt Emilie and cousin Francois, Huguenots still living in France. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Philip stays with his extended family for many years. The Protestant believers have to worship in secret -- it is a very dangerous time to be a Protestant in France. It was intriguing some of the methods used to determine whether the family was practicing Catholicism or Protestantism, such as asking a child in the family to sing Ave Maria (which the Huguenot children were not being taught by their parents). How scary!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The story builds gradually. Initially you come to know the individual characters -- Philip, with his British accent; Francois, and his family members. As Philip and Francois mature, they are also learning fighting tactics, becoming strong young men, and meet new people. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">They begin engaging in battles to defend the Huguenot people. At other times, though, the Catholics are hunting them. Sometimes they hide. Sometimes they flee. Eventually, though, the conflict is unavoidable. The ultimate battle that occurs in the story is known, historically, as the St. Bartholomew's Day massacre. The battles and preparations leading up to this last stand of the Protestants is engaging, and the final battle is compelling and sobering.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I never like to covey enough information that the reader feels I've given spoilers, so I will stop there. Suffice it to say that I encourage you to consider investing in this audio drama.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">What I love about materials by G.A. Henty is the way he focuses on historical events that have become obscure and isolated to us through the passage of time, and by creating an engaging narrative he draws us into an adventure that we care about and learn from. The plight of the French Huguenots of the 16th Century is something we should not allow to be forgotten in obscurity any more than we would want the plight of the Jews in World War II to be forgotten. Remember the saying, "Those who do not learn from history are destined to repeat it." </span></span><br />

Filled with realism, historic events are conveyed that can be upsetting. In this adventure Philip befriends a young lad who later loses his leg while doing his part as the Huguenots defend themselves against the Catholic attackers. Later the one-legged lad is still fighting in conflicts, endangering himself for the cause. This type of story content is realistic but upsetting to my daughter, who has a tender heart. Because these adventures contain content that can be upsetting to some, I do encourage you to listen to the story first, without your children, so that you can determine which of your children you want to have listen to the adventure and at what age.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">St. Bartholomew's Eve, produced by Heirloom Audio, once again upholds the high standards that Heirloom seeks to maintain in each of their audio adventure productions. I highly recommend this adventure to you.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">But don't take just my word for it.

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This past weekend, the first weekend in October, was Parent Weekend at Northern Arizona University where my son is attending college. We were looking forward to visiting him, seeing how he is doing, and spending some time with him.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We live on the east coast, and right now the time is three hours later than the time in Arizona. We were leaving on a 7 a.m. flight. It is a one hour drive to the airport, and we aimed to arrive 2 hours early so we could park in a satellite lot, get through security, eat breakfast, etc. That meant we needed to leave our house at 4 a.m., so I got up between 3:00 and 3:30 a.m., which is midnight of the night before, Arizona time! </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We flew for 4-1/2 hours, direct flight, and did our best to sleep some on the way there. We had a nice flight on Southwest Airlines, but upon our arrival it still took an hour to exit the plane (25 minutes), walk to baggage pick-up and get our bags, ride a shuttle to the car rental place and get our car, and get on the road. We were hungry for lunch by this time, 12:30 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, so we found a subway as soon as we could (1/2 hour) and ate lunch at 10 a.m. Arizona time! An interesting point, we left 82 degrees with 97% humidity and flew to 82 degrees and 37% humidity.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The plane flies in to Phoenix, and the drive to Flagstaff is another two hours, which was next on our agenda. Dry in Arizona, we were already slogging down loads of water! Arriving in Flagstaff at about 12:30 Arizona time to a temperature of about 42 degrees, we were now adding a layer over our T-shirts for warmth. We contacted our son, but he was too busy with homework to see us right away. We needed to check in with the University's Parent Weekend people, so we did that first. Then our Airbnb allowed us to check in early, so we went there and took a nap for a couple of hours. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Our son was still not available when we wanted to eat dinner, so we went on our own. After we had eaten he was finally available for the evening. NAU had a Casino Night planned, which we all attended, and it was a lot of fun. We all played a little poker (Texas hold'em), but for the most part we all preferred playing Black Jack. The student really cleaned up! But it was not for cash -- it was for raffle tickets for prizes, and we didn't win any of the raffles.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The proceeds of the evening went to scholarship funds for students on the Hotel Management field at the college.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The next day we woke to snow! No big deal -- a couple of inches that melted quickly except for on the mountains. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We invited our son to join us for dinner but he wanted to sleep in. We dined at Denny's, which is a treat for us since our local Denny's went out of business some time ago. Later in the day he did join us for a barbecue hosted by NAU Air Force ROTC. This lunch was followed by a football game, NAU vs. Weber State University, which our student again bowed out of to do more school work. It was an exciting game, filled with turnovers by both teams, and NAU won. I didn't take photos, and the ones I can find on line are protected by copywrite.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We wanted the student to join us for dinner, his choice, and we dined at a steakhouse, Sizzler. I was feeling more like shrimp, which they also had! They had a killer salad bar that came with my meal, with veteran's discount and senior's discount. Very nice!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">On Sunday a</span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> brunch was planned, but once again our student did not join us, so we dined alone. It showed us yet again that NAU offers the students a huge selection at meals, everything from donuts and muffins to really healthy choices, as well as some very gourmet choices. After our meal our student allowed us to spend some time with him in his dorm. He had been looking forward to some of dad's back scratching time. After a while we went to a movie, at his request - Venom. It's not a movie his dad or I would normally go to, but we didn't mind going to see it with our son since it was the movie he wanted to see. I ate way too much popcorn.</span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">After the movie we offered our son dinner again, but he was again feeling pressure from his assignments, so we took him back to his dorm. We decided to eat dinner at a small local restaurant, and we found a real good one called Salsa Brava. We shared a chimichanga. I highly recommend this restaurant. We especially appreciated their wall honoring the military and their MIA/POW table for the one(s) who won't make it for dinner (kinda like the Air Force's Missing Man formation).</span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The next morning we again dined at Denny's before beginning our drive back to Phoenix for our 1:30 flight. We made one stop on the way there, and I was happy to get some more photos of Arizona plants. Here are some of those photos:</span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We got to Phoenix, turned in our rental car, rode a shuttle to the airport, checked our bags, went through security, and got to our gate around 12:30. We got ourselves a sandwich, which we shared, since we figured it would be an early dinner when we got back east (5:00 on our body clock, 8:00 EST).</span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">By the time we actually landed, picked up our bags, rode the shuttle to satellite parking and got underway in our car, it was actually about 11:00 p.m. We had gone from an "early" dinner to being concerned that there would be no restaurants open to get a bit other than fast food restaurants (which we don't like to do, particularly for dinner). Thanks to the G**gle machine, we found a barbecue spot on the way that was open since it was a sports bar and there were people there watching Monday Night Football.</span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So, midnight found us getting home and eating dinner. What a way to eat an "early" dinner! So we're back. I did not get a menu plan posted. We limped through on some standard quick meals.</span></span></span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In Season 6 there are six episodes, which gives your family over two hours of listening pleasure. Previous seasons had 12 adventures, which was amazing! However I was not disappointed with the content of the six episodes in this set! The six episodes included are:</span></span></div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Dutch Underground, Part 1</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Dutch Underground, Part 2</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Twice Born Fly</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I Wonder Why</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Free Burma Rangers, Part 1, and</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Free Burma Rangers, Part 2</span></span></li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Dutch Underground, Parts 1 and 2, tell the story of the Brinkman children's Oma (grandmother) and Opa (grandfather, no longer alive). The children are visiting Oma, and she relates to the kids how she met and married their grandfather in Holland right during the war, World War II. Oma and Opa lived in Holland when it was overthrown by the Germans. The religious freedoms of the Dutch were being squashed, and Oma and Opa were part of a group of Dutch who were resisting the oppression brought by German rule. There were many close calls, some imprisonment, and a lot of excitement in this story!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Twice Born Fly begins with Charlie watching a fly hatch from a pupa. He is so excited when it happens that he gasps in surprise, ...and with his inhale swallows the fly! That makes for a fun start to the story (but it may not have really happened). His father is able, later in the story, to use the fly's "second birth" as an allegory to explain Christian rebirth to Charlie.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I Wonder Why is a story that focuses on a different missionary family that the Brinkmans know, and how this family came to relocate to India. The children in the family have some difficulty adapting to this move, particularly as the orphanage they are ministering to is filled with (28) children who seem to be particularly mean and disobedient. As the story unfolds, God reveals the answers to "I wonder why..." that one of the missionary children was asking at the beginning of the episode.</span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Free Burma Rangers is a particularly gripping adventure. It begins with a missionary kid, who as a child attending boarding school is focused on wanting to grow up to be a soldier, and after that a missionary. The young man finishes boarding school, where he was not acting "like a missionary kid". He confesses to his dad that he has not been living the way he should, and he commits to change. He attends college at MIT, where he participates in Army ROTC, and after graduation joins "special ops", The Green Berets. After serving in this capacity for many years, he has met a woman that he wants to marry. She is not in agreement, and he continues to pursue her. He leaves the military and studies for the seminary, after which he goes into the ministry as a missionary, just like he said he would at one time as a child. Before he goes, though, the young woman, Karen, does come around and they get married. The story continues with his adventures as a missionary, and the group he is a part of called the Free Burma Rangers. The adventure eventually includes the Brinkmans, and the situations get very intense!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Some of the episodes in Season 6 suggest that children under the age of 10 should listen with their parents. I know that when my youngest was under the age of 10 it would not have been good for him to be listening to these alone. Some children have very tender hearts and need their parent(s) present to reassure them or to answer questions. These stories, based on real events, can be frightening. It is wise to be there to assure your children that they are not in this type of danger living where they do. (I say this assuming it is true. I guess I might actually have readers who live in places and situations that are just as dangerous. If this is your situation, then I guess you want to assure your child that we do not need to fear death if we are born again.)</span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I love Brinkman adventures! I received this product as a digital download. I was going to then burn the adventures to a CD, but it turned out I really wasn't going to be near a CD/MP3 player much during this review period. I thought I would load it to my cell phone, which involves iTunes, but I really haven't figured out how to use iTunes with my cell phone. (I know -- that's really sad. But it is true.) My husband made a suggestion that is what I finally ended up doing -- I emailed the digital product to myself, then opening the email on my phone I was able to listen to the episodes. They went to a Google drive or something, and then I could listen. I really need to get my daughter to teach me how to use iTunes...</span></span></div>

I also learned recently that there is a radio station in Texas that airs Brinkman Adventures as a weekly show on their station. I'm going to try to figure out when it plans (EST), because I think I can tune into the station using Alexa or on my computer. I'd love to hear more episodes! I do not own them all.</span></span></div>

I also needed a look at 3 John, so I printed that as well. I tried using color print, but my printer wasn't up to snuff, so I switched to black and white. I figured I would 3-hole punch the paper and start a 3-ring binder for my Books of the Bible At-A-Glance.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So that you can see what the printouts <i>should</i> look like, here is a snapshot of the John page from the PDF:</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">See how vibrant the colors should be? My printer is disappointing me greatly.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So now that you see the page for John, let me zoom in and highlight it for you section by section (larger, easier to see).</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">At the top of each page, the name of the Bible book is at the top. Next you see what number book it is in the Old or New Testament, </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgY_IZrDY5Fyd987M_7ElpZyLg3pLCqeRHZo5fiATTeuBbjIkaBgZub8B-dh_lArtZmshZyYdFWE-GIMrrxzmgQkLOw0WttVdGKsILXTviM-4rdA2ynghkm8n8dnbDnu5owfekaqpvMxB4/s1600/John+-+top.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="247" data-original-width="422" height="372" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgY_IZrDY5Fyd987M_7ElpZyLg3pLCqeRHZo5fiATTeuBbjIkaBgZub8B-dh_lArtZmshZyYdFWE-GIMrrxzmgQkLOw0WttVdGKsILXTviM-4rdA2ynghkm8n8dnbDnu5owfekaqpvMxB4/s640/John+-+top.JPG" width="640" /></a></span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">who the author is thought to be, when it is thought to have been written, and the time period it covers. John is thought to have been written 80-90 AD, but it is a history of the period from approximately 7 to 26 AD.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The next line reminds you that there are 39 Old Testament books and 27 New Testament books, with a numeral 4 reminding you that John is book 4 in the New Testament. Each book has a "Claims to Fame" section. There is a reminder of famous stories included in the book, as well as the books "most famous verses".</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Boy was I surprised at the price they wanted to charge. I scrapped the idea and headed home. I discussed it with my hubby. I'll just print out pages as I need them and go with my initial plan of having a printout in a 3-ring notebook that I build as I go along.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I can also just work from the PDF document, but I'm a real paper-in-hand (book-in-hand) kind of girl, so I like to have a print out. Eventually I will probably be highlighting sections and taking notes like I do in my Bible. That's hard to do on a PDF.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I am not a major theologian. I did not attend seminary.

Or, before you do that, maybe you want to read a few more reviews and see what other reviewers thought. Maybe someone else was/is "more objective" than I am or saw different perspectives that they brought out that might interest you.

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">As I homeschooled my son, I came to realize there was much more to the label "Art" than I had previously thought. Using the <a href="http://amblesideonline.org/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Ambleside Online</a> curriculum, much of the "Art" that we covered was more Art History, in the form of artist study and studying an artist's specific works.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">One of the girls in our 4-H Club was taking art classes and learning wonderful techniques. I wanted to sign my son up for classes, but he didn't want anything to do with it. He did not want group classes, and he did not want to be taught or be required to do a certain type of project at a certain time. He wanted to continue his art "free style".</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">As he got older, the line became fuzzy between "art" and "craft". He no longer does paintings, seldom does drawings (although occasionally he comes up with an amazing drawing). </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Now, though, he is a craftsman of whips made out of paracord -- bullwhips, snakewhips, and I don't know all the names of the types of whips he makes. He got a blue ribbon and a champion ribbon on the bullwhip he entered at the county fair.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">He has started his own business selling his whips on line (Eagle Whips on Instagram). And he loves making them!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So what I learned about art while home schooling my lonely only is to let the student lead. I don't expect him to have a career in Art when he picks his career, so what does it matter if he ever learns how to draw a picture with depth, or create a landscape with pastels, or that red paint mixed with blue makes purple? My goal as the teacher, in addition to directing my son in ways that he can learn about art, should be to introduce art in ways that help him love the art! And my son was able to pursue what interested him and then specialize in what he loved. And that is why we home school!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">For many home schoolers, however in my home school a day arrived when we began to see a need for changes in this area. Through no fault of the student, there had been a season of less-focused parenting. One day, when he was six, I received a call that my dad had died.</span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">That same year my step-dad had been in and out of hospital, nursing home, hospital, and ultimately hospice. Six months after my dad died, my step-dad died.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I was struggling to home school, with a senior in a private school (using my car), and I was now responsible for my dad's estate, selling house, condo, collections, stocks, properties out of state -- I was over my head. I assumed my mom would handle my step-dad's estate. She did not. And six months later we learned she was terminal with lung cancer, and seven months after my step-dad, my mom died.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I'm not making excuses, but I wasn't doing well, and I needed some sort of help, some group activities for my son. I had done 4-H with my older (now adult) children, so I started my son in 4-H Clovers, and then 4-H as he got older.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In spite of the fact that I knew how to "do" 4-H, it was never a good fit for my son. For years we continued with 4-H, but we made efforts to branch out in other ways as well. We tried going roller skating with other home schoolers every Friday afternoon. That, it turns out, is still a rather solitary activity. We joined a home school field trip group, where we went on a group field trip twice a month, but it was also not a good fit.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We finally found a groove in Cub Scouts/Boy Scouts.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We finally had some constructive activity to help us shape his character, direct his activity and energy level, and something he enjoyed doing.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">But as the years passed, he came to enjoy it less. To a degree it still came down to some difficulty dealing with others (boys). There was even some bullying going on (our son was short for his age, and for a time he was stout), and there was difficulty with adults and scouts thinking he was younger than he was.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">He was also not happy with the disrespect the boys showed to other scouts and to the adult leaders. When the Senior Patrol Leader said, "Line up!" my son wanted the other scouts to line up at attention and quietly listen for instructions. They didn't.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Seeing this aspect of my son's personality (what he wanted seemed to be military discipline), and knowing Boy Scouts was not supposed to be a military organization, I started brain storming again. When I was a kid my brother was in Civil Air Patrol, and I'd seen blogs of others whose kids were in Civil Air Patrol, so I told my son about it and we checked it out. My son loved it and joined.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The Boy Scouts program ends at age 18, unless you go into leadership from there. My son turned 18 during his senior year and was so busy he did not go into a leadership position from there. He has been working on his education, and is also working to achieve a similar honor awarded to Civil Air Patrol cadets, the Billy Mitchell Award. He can do this because Civil Air Patrol permits cadets to continue until age 21.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">My point in walking you through my experience is to encourage you to consider socialization, particularly if you are home schooling a lonely only. Maybe you don't need to, but we sure did. If you brainstorm and research you will find there are many activities available for you to consider. If you don't know where to start, you can try to find other home schoolers by posting a 3"X5" card on a bulletin board at your local grocery store! My area has home school groups for chess club, 4-H, Boy Scouts, field trips, co-ops, classes, and on and on. Find out what is available to you! </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When you are homeschooling only one student, there can be challenges. To name a few:</span></span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">you can feel like there is no one you are accountable to on any given day, so you can slide into a loosey-goosey attitude where your plans are not concrete and the urge to change your plans can win at a moment's notice;</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">these whimsical changes in result in you not getting as much done as you had hoped;</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">when your student argues to not do something, it is hard to stand firm since you often feel like it really doesn't matter overall;</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">there is not "competition" between students, so it can be hard for a student to be motivated to do their best or to do a better job -- it can become an attitude of just getting it done because mom assigned it.</span></span></li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRjrbjDr9z089Hn_IHCVC_95oe5PlZkpDp4pAjaNUm64BdDlZ4_jXUO9FInZ6LuL5BKnuVfVG_VfJfp1TJ8OWue-tV48ZD8UMYvOJqRqZRGdWthAE69Df0etvNG_AlgRemioR-5miOb3E/s1600/Spanish+Review+070.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRjrbjDr9z089Hn_IHCVC_95oe5PlZkpDp4pAjaNUm64BdDlZ4_jXUO9FInZ6LuL5BKnuVfVG_VfJfp1TJ8OWue-tV48ZD8UMYvOJqRqZRGdWthAE69Df0etvNG_AlgRemioR-5miOb3E/s320/Spanish+Review+070.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<ul>
</ul>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> Some methods I employed over the years to combat these tendencies toward malaise:</span></span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Make plans to do group activities so that there are set plans, a set time and date, and other students so that there is good peer pressure for the student to do a good job.</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Blog, and join blog rings where you post certain blog posts on certain days.</span></span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Overall, though, most of our days did just slide into slogging through it, just my student and I. So my friend became my daily lesson planner. If I planned it, I tried to make it happen.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">For our Nature Study efforts, in the style of Charlotte Mason method studies, we were using the <a href="http://amblesideonline.org/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Ambleside Online</a> curriculum. I discovered another blogger, Barb, over at <a href="https://handbookofnaturestudy.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Handbook of Nature Study</a>, and she had a weekly Outdoor Hour Challenge (with a <a href="https://handbookofnaturestudy.com/email-subscription/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">free subscription</a>), and that kept me going for a long time. I loved being able to complete the challenge, write a blog post about it and link up on her blog. And Barb would comment on my blog posts -- a small thing, but it kept me going.</span></span><br />

<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgD8N4mf4BVz_q14w2Mxhj5ebtWVWllUM5IxPFqnPZH6y3ZZhPtdeTO7I7wZgN1VGYOUk6714v1vTnHyutM2ZV9i7w02N444NfWs5AIsvKJd6whfzCIisGV9-6AgZ9bZXCweT7DH2v821s/s1600/welcome-boy.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="214" data-original-width="208" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgD8N4mf4BVz_q14w2Mxhj5ebtWVWllUM5IxPFqnPZH6y3ZZhPtdeTO7I7wZgN1VGYOUk6714v1vTnHyutM2ZV9i7w02N444NfWs5AIsvKJd6whfzCIisGV9-6AgZ9bZXCweT7DH2v821s/s1600/welcome-boy.gif" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Mid-September, and the evenings are beginning to cool down. When I open my window at night I hear that old familiar sound that means Autumn is in the air.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Speaking of... Have you ever studied crickets with your students? Crickets make a great Nature Study for September and/or October.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The first book I think of when I think of a Cricket Nature Study is Comstock's Book of Nature Study.</span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFee5wCWF4dUj-JOC13HhqW5RxwQ_j4DDvsmE_Bi1mMnI8LEnZc8_dEkFg9FKWb5bsO9ESVsX8gQaSjqYWu4r9rZFr8DFllzZtmCUOA2dhV_QcxWKo5woyjT-n9qDBVfYiDdawmk-u9Po/s1600/Handbook+of+Nature+Study.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="480" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFee5wCWF4dUj-JOC13HhqW5RxwQ_j4DDvsmE_Bi1mMnI8LEnZc8_dEkFg9FKWb5bsO9ESVsX8gQaSjqYWu4r9rZFr8DFllzZtmCUOA2dhV_QcxWKo5woyjT-n9qDBVfYiDdawmk-u9Po/s320/Handbook+of+Nature+Study.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It has a great section on crickets. Did you know that some cultures keep crickets for pets? If you want a fun way to interest your child in crickets, consider making a unit study out of it. This can be short and sweet, so that you can keep cranking with your previously scheduled plans, or it can be expanded to include everything you want to do for the week.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The first thing to do is to get some picture books to read. I recommend at least one fiction and one non-fiction. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here are some picture book titles I found:</span></span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>The Very Quiet Cricket</i> by Eric Carle</span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i> </i></span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Chester Cricket's New Home</i> by Garth Williams</span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i> </i></span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Cricket in Time Square </i>by George Selden</span></span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here is a non-fiction book I found about crickets (in addition to the Comstock <i>Handbook of Nature Study)</i>:</span></span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Crickets</i> by Cheryl Coughlan </span></span></li>
</ul>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You could do your Cricket Unit Study work all in one day, or spread it out over the full week. I recommend you begin by reading the section in <i>Handbook of Nature Study</i> about Crickets. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyqZGUAQTMAjmrSHTYzUODtPDI9MXyp6x1svEtf4DFz821vg7W-up5C1FPU51fLfxttKut1eoXB5bQ9onojqIgl6-CfTbcLP7hD50PrVQzMSy4Yx0U9aApqbHVigY4TYW8adMAhivaPYU/s1600/Cricket+content.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="480" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyqZGUAQTMAjmrSHTYzUODtPDI9MXyp6x1svEtf4DFz821vg7W-up5C1FPU51fLfxttKut1eoXB5bQ9onojqIgl6-CfTbcLP7hD50PrVQzMSy4Yx0U9aApqbHVigY4TYW8adMAhivaPYU/s640/Cricket+content.JPG" width="480" /></a></span></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It is very informative. Pay special attention to information about different types of crickets.</span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIPL9MeADslF8lra7OD_31vRXqcVbjZlksx8Y2aWerXLgJC7VJY1uEjapb1ETdF8nN97FUobB-ccEa8niWc5qm20UuYlSuaYKIWz1Yn5rXil3TtOMK_-sxlop4Qk9xVGYnA5oKo2nB6qY/s1600/Cricket+picture.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="381" data-original-width="437" height="278" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIPL9MeADslF8lra7OD_31vRXqcVbjZlksx8Y2aWerXLgJC7VJY1uEjapb1ETdF8nN97FUobB-ccEa8niWc5qm20UuYlSuaYKIWz1Yn5rXil3TtOMK_-sxlop4Qk9xVGYnA5oKo2nB6qY/s320/Cricket+picture.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You will want to figure out, later, what type(s) of crickets your child finds on his cricket hunt. We also had fun making a cricket house. Instructions are in the book.</span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJHHq490OpxW1W2ZJZJVa849IxWtAzmesKwfam-P_oYIKPJTHpmSJ-KVrF4rX8UjeW9xLg1gud_nxDI0SlXT2IFIwQBafxeATVBn2v0mKhx44T_uYYnYOxDDZszYagSahybbUv0CdriZA/s1600/Cricket+House.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="553" data-original-width="297" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJHHq490OpxW1W2ZJZJVa849IxWtAzmesKwfam-P_oYIKPJTHpmSJ-KVrF4rX8UjeW9xLg1gud_nxDI0SlXT2IFIwQBafxeATVBn2v0mKhx44T_uYYnYOxDDZszYagSahybbUv0CdriZA/s400/Cricket+House.JPG" width="213" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was doable, in my house, because we have way too much clutter. We were able to come up with a flower pot, soil, sand, moss, and a globe to an oil lamp. Initially, though, we just used a shoe box.</span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This type of hands-on activity is fun for a little guy. He was having fun learning, and I was still able to write "school" activities down in my school planner (for accountability - I get reviewed every year because of state law).</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here the unit study activities might look like:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bible: Read Deuteronomy 28 and ask your student to listen for the mention of crickets in the reading. (It is in verse 42)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Math: Send your students on a cricket hunt. Give each one a mason jar with a lid. Send them off to the edge of the house foundation. They can look under leaves behind the shed, or under random tarps under the deck or around the yard. Check the wood pile. (They might want to wear gloves.) Have them round up as many crickets as they can find. Have them count them. Who found more? How many did they each find?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Science: Look at the various crickets. Do they all look like the same species? Within the ones that seem to be the same species, are they all the same? When we did the study, we found we have black crickets in our area. We were actually able to learn that you can tell the difference between the male and female crickets. Who knew? </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Art or Science: find a <a href="https://www.abcteach.com/documents/animal-diagrams-cricket-labeled-parts-12846" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">diagram of a cricket</a> online so you know the names of the cricket parts. Print out a <a href="https://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/insects/orthoptera/labelcricket/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">blank diagram</a> and have students fill it in. Have student draw their own drawing of a cricket.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Literature: Read picture book/have student read picture book, or begin reading <i>The Cricket in Time Square</i> (a classic!).</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">See how this works? You could practice handwriting by having them write out one sentence from the book you read. You could work on spelling by creating a list with words you introduced in this study, like "thorax", "cercus", "palps", "spiracles" and "ovipositor". You could work on vocabulary by having them look each word up and write out a definition.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You could include physical education by actually going on a nature walk to try to find crickets, but I guess even hunting for them in the back yard would be fine to count for physical education. You can include "health" by having them wash their hands at the end of the activity and talking about the importance of washing hands when dirty or before eating.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The only subject I didn't include was Social Studies, but you could include that by researching the cultures that keep crickets as pets (I think it is Japan, but I might be wrong). </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I hope you have enjoyed by recounting of our cricket study and my brainstorming on how to make a complete unit study of it. Unit studies can be a great way to cover school for grades K-3 in particular. I hope you enjoy! </span></span><div class="blogger-post-footer">This copyrighted article was originally published on <a href="http://homeschool-review.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Homeschool Review</a>.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjU94DPeRMOndK_V_6sI55e02lJ2JcV_wn6VXA5Qr4L0uaSMjWjPGVW2qOmFCf-qiry3r6Ruf1_bz4WPEgZh2T8ORCmn61YFOoHTIgr5WMjUcVOxSdeTsgxmQ8sjaejjOYA_rQewmNkMFs/s1600/Mothers+Day+5-2018.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="225" data-original-width="523" height="274" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjU94DPeRMOndK_V_6sI55e02lJ2JcV_wn6VXA5Qr4L0uaSMjWjPGVW2qOmFCf-qiry3r6Ruf1_bz4WPEgZh2T8ORCmn61YFOoHTIgr5WMjUcVOxSdeTsgxmQ8sjaejjOYA_rQewmNkMFs/s640/Mothers+Day+5-2018.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A post to update folks is long overdue.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We got a family photo taken (above) the day my youngest celebrated high school graduation. I'm on the far left, then Dad, then my youngest, then my oldest, then my son-in-law, then my middle "child". (I don't use names -- want to protect some privacy." Then there are the dogs -- Cody on the left, and the yellow blur on the right is my oldest's dog named Coda.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My high school graduate was not able to find summer work. He spent his summer promoting his home business - <a href="https://www.instagram.com/eaglewhips/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Eagle Whips</a> (you can find him on Instagram). And he built up his inventory of whips so they could continue to sell even while he is away at college! (He's not allowed to make them at college. They are considered to be a weapon. Go figure.)</span></span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeoXfhP1Ob8TUN7TZhwLgHKi9Ot40PV9ZJl0VZBcOT73ikLWvO2-dCYD7OYHFj3-o4m-LH188Rtys_VyH8wEgs0XJh52LNd86n2yKqcX-jBAzaNoJiRfxu_kWXySLZccmQA_2Yz1PGrAo/s1600/whip.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="480" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeoXfhP1Ob8TUN7TZhwLgHKi9Ot40PV9ZJl0VZBcOT73ikLWvO2-dCYD7OYHFj3-o4m-LH188Rtys_VyH8wEgs0XJh52LNd86n2yKqcX-jBAzaNoJiRfxu_kWXySLZccmQA_2Yz1PGrAo/s640/whip.JPG" width="480" /></a></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Another week, another plan. Here's what we decided on this week:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><u>Saturday</u></b>: Date night bumped from Friday this week.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><u><b>Sunday</b></u>: Chicken Caesar Salad, rolls</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><u><b>Monday</b></u>: Lasagne (from freezer, prepared in advance), salad, garlic knots</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><u><b>Tuesday</b></u>: Pork chops, stuffing, steamed yellow & zucchini squash</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><u><b>Wednesday</b></u>: French Bread Pizza, salad</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><u><b>Thursday</b></u>: scallops, noodles, asparagus</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><u><b>Friday</b></u>: Date night: Dinner out</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well, that was the plan. We followed it Saturday, Sunday and Monday, but then the Civil Air Patrol was activated to go to the Carolinas to shoot photographs of the hurricane damage from Florence. So my hubby, who is trained to do those missions, went to South Carolina and will be there all week. I have too much food in my fridge to make more meals, so I am eating leftovers all week: lentil soup, lasagne, some things my neighbor (who is going out of town) gave me... So, the plan became Caesar Salad, Lasagne, then leftovers, leftovers, leftovers.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hope you're having a great week! </span></span><div class="blogger-post-footer">This copyrighted article was originally published on <a href="http://homeschool-review.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Homeschool Review</a>.

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I received two emails. One instructed me step-by-step on what I needed to do to get going with Picta Dicta. The second email gave me a link to set up my account as well as an Order ID and a Base License Code. As soon as I received these emails I went to the site and set up my account, with two student seats. Once I had done that I started poking around, learning how to use the program.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Picta Dicta Vocabulary Builder is a program to build Latin vocabulary. For a high school student it would probably be best as a supplement to a primary Latin curriculum. Without a primary Latin spine, it is still a great educational tool. Picta Dicta can actually be used over a broad spectrum of student ages, from beginning reader to retiree. I was so happy to have this opportunity to review Picta Dicta because I have been working on my Latin on and off for about six years, and I welcomed this opportunity for a new way to increase my vocabulary. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When one logs in to Picta Dicta, Vocabulary Builder, the first page is always the following:</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The page you see above shows the program has 36 pages (each page has its own focus, so think of each page across the bottom row as a unit, each number on a page as a chapter). Each page has 6 chapters. If the student is able to keep to a pace of one unit each week, the program can be completed in one school year. (A typical school year is 36 weeks.) </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The green stars you see show the student's progress and how well she did. As you can see, I did not do well on Test Forms. I decided to go back into "Test Forms" to see if I could improve my score.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Once you have clicked on a lesson you get an introductory page. To continue you click on the pointing finger-hand in the bottom right corner of the page.</span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When you click there on the Test Forms lesson, you are taken into the test questions.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Revisiting this page reminded me why I got only one star. I'm not good at this particular section of the program. I haven't been focusing in the genitive case, the dative case, etc. I would need to back up and redo a previous section focusing on these cases to improve my score.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So if you change your mind and want to go to a different lesson, you click the arrow in the bottom left corner of the page. (It is on the "quid" page; I just cut it off of my snap shot above.) When I did this, I had to log in again. This isn't too difficult if you let your computer save your log in ID and your password, but it is still a <b>very good idea</b> to write these down somewhere when you first set up the program.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">My progress on this program has been slow. I really want to learn this material well, so when I don't do well on a chapter I go back and do it again. And again if necessary. I find I am really motivated by the stars. I really want four or five stars when I can get it.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I went to Unit 2, where I am currently working, so I could show you how the program works. When you have completed a chapter but want to improve your score, you can go back in and work on it again by clicking on the little blue arrow to the right of the Chapter information:</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">By doing this on Chapter 7, I can also show you examples from the different chapters in a unit. Unit 2 (or "Page 2") is not the same as Page 1, so maybe these aren't exactly units... </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Clicking on the hand again, the student receives a word and hears the pronunciation.</span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Click the hand and on the next page the student picks which picture/word grouping the vocabulary goes with. Sometimes this is trial and error, but it is a very effective way to help the student learn the vocabulary (when the student repeats chapters with poor scores).</span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Then when the student gets the answer correct, there is a green check, and the full sentence is heard. If the student gets the answer wrong, there is a red "X" and the full sentence is still heard. The student gets another chance later in the lesson to try again.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I improved my score to four stars!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I opened the next chapter, "Spell".</span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZCPrmMeOw_n49Oa1PeLo_ZgGRMxLg_iVZViddNPF6x-2ilZYDRaenZ2sjhvQU8N12flTsfuc5xqCZI6UVTN7eOUNivLT8C1x-xVmVLa0g8V0MyWuqUa5IgI_XGhrxOp75au70JDDeE9s/s1600/Ch+8-1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="346" data-original-width="667" height="330" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZCPrmMeOw_n49Oa1PeLo_ZgGRMxLg_iVZViddNPF6x-2ilZYDRaenZ2sjhvQU8N12flTsfuc5xqCZI6UVTN7eOUNivLT8C1x-xVmVLa0g8V0MyWuqUa5IgI_XGhrxOp75au70JDDeE9s/s640/Ch+8-1.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I liked the advice given in the bottom of the Spell intro page. It reminded me to mention that you can review a word by pressing the info icon on the lower lefthand corner. What I didn't like is that this is a "thumbs down" icon, like "I give up!" And when you press on it, you have gotten the answer wrong and get a red "X". On the other hand, if the student just plans to go through twice, this is no big deal. The first time can be for learning. The student can press the lower lefthand icon on each word, take lots of notes, and when done with all the vocabulary for the chapter the student can go through again and answer the questions accurately. This writing of the vocabulary helps to cement the information into the brain with many learning styles.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I have really enjoyed working with Picta Dicta and plan to continue working on my Latin vocabulary. I strongly encourage you to consider adding this program to your arsenal of curriculum products this year if you are studying Latin. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Time to post the menu plans for this week. I've had some weeks of less than healthy meals -- I'm finally ready to walk the straight and narrow. This week's meal plans reflect healthier choices -- no sugar, no processed foods, blended with selections my husband will appreciate. Here's the plan:</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Over the past many weeks I have had the opportunity to work with a new on-line grammar program called </span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><a class="bbc_link" href="https://grammarplanet.com/" rel="nofollow" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: #e7eaef; border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(51, 68, 102); color: #334466; cursor: pointer; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;" target="_blank">GrammarPlanet</a>.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><a class="bbc_link" href="https://grammarplanet.com/" rel="nofollow" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: #e7eaef; border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(51, 68, 102); color: #334466; cursor: pointer; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;" target="_blank">GrammarPlanet</a></span></span> was created by the makers of Analytic Grammar. I have never gotten to try Analytic Grammar, but I have heard good things about it. </span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><a class="bbc_link" href="https://grammarplanet.com/" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: #e7eaef; border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(51, 68, 102); color: #334466; cursor: pointer; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;" target="_blank">GrammarPlanet</a></span></span> has two ways the program is available to families. You can either use the free version, which includes commercials (I really disliked these -- over-loud commercials at the end of the lesson) or you can pay a one-time (forever) fee of $39 for a student account. (Great price for a lifetime purchase of this program!)</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><a class="bbc_link" href="https://grammarplanet.com/" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: #e7eaef; border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(51, 68, 102); color: #334466; cursor: pointer; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;" target="_blank">GrammarPlanet</a></span></span> goes through the concepts of grammar in a very systematic way. When I was teaching my oldest grammar for the first time, I remember teaching that there are eight basic parts of speech: nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, pronouns, articles prepositions. However the method of teaching these parts of speech was no where near as clear and easy as the way they are taught in </span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><a class="bbc_link" href="https://grammarplanet.com/" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: #e7eaef; border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(51, 68, 102); color: #334466; cursor: pointer; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;" target="_blank">GrammarPlanet</a>.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The method used for each lesson of </span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><a class="bbc_link" href="https://grammarplanet.com/" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: #e7eaef; border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(51, 68, 102); color: #334466; cursor: pointer; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;" target="_blank">GrammarPlanet</a> is:</span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">1) Print out and read pages for the lesson; student keeps handy while doing lesson;</span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">2) Watch video for lesson;</span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">3) Do exercises/practice for lesson;</span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">4) Take test for lesson.</span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">If the student misses too many items, the parent needs to reset the lesson for the student using the teacher account so that the student can repeat the material. This method keeps the parent/teacher in the loop so there is no question as to how well the student is doing, and no ability for the student to ignore a lack of understanding and just keep trying to move forward in the lessons.</span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The grammar material is introduced in a specific, carefully thought out order. It begins with nouns, and explains very well that "Noun" does not only refer to things (the old "person, place or thing"), but also includes concepts. </span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The lessons work through adjectives, articles, etc. Each lesson carefully introduces and covers the concept of the lesson and reinforces the lesson in the video and the practice.</span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I worked on the material as a student, and there were some times when the first practice question would immediately stump me as to how to label and diagram the sentence. I decided that for me actually doing the problem examples (and sometimes getting it wrong and having the program tell me the correct answer) was part of what I needed to learn the material. It caused me to realize I would not want to jump on my student too quickly for wrong answers either. That was a new thought...</span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Sorry for all the blotches -- there is writing on the back of the page as well and the ink bled through. The diagrammed sentence says: "According to witnesses in another village, the sky split in two and fire appeared over the forest." I think it is amazing to know how to diagram that sentence!</span></span></span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><u><b>Sunday:</b></u> visiting daughter and son-in-law--dinner out to celebrate their anniversary (seafood)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><u><b>Monday</b></u>: cheeseburgers, corn on the cob, potato salad, pickles, chips</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><u><b>Tuesday</b></u>: Taco Tuesday: Tacos, quacamole, black beans, chips, etc.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><u><b>Wednesday</b></u>: Pan-fried chicken, rice, steamed green beans</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><u><b>Thursday</b></u>: spaghetti, salad, garlic knots</span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sorry I didn't post a menu plan last week. I was actually traveling. I don't ever post that on my blog, but I do usually post a menu plan anyway to suggest that I am home, for home security and that sort of thing. Anyway... This week's menu plan:</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><u><b>Saturday:</b></u> Arrived home from airport having picked up a pizza on the way. Ate at about 8:00 -- way late for us.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><u><b>Sunday:</b></u> Our neighbor blessed us, knowing we had no food in the house, and gave us dinner -- Chinese food of duck, noodles, and vegetables. Very yummy!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><u><b>Monday:</b></u> Pork chops, buttered noodles, steamed green beans (right out of our garden!)</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><u><b>Tuesday:</b></u> Salad plate with romaine, tomatoes, peppers, cucumber, tuna fish salad, hard boiled eggs and chunks of cheddar cheese</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><u><b>Wednesday:</b></u> Lentil soup, salad, rolls</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><u><b>Thursday:</b></u> Lasagne roll-ups, salad, garlic knots</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><u><b>Friday:</b></u> Date night - dinner out!</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What's for dinner at your house this week? </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
