If this week has taught me anything it’s that I should never underestimate the evil genius potential of my children. We’ve been going through the re-evaluation process for the Kindergarten IEP. These evaluations hold information that no other evaluations have ever told us before. We knew our younger son was highly intelligent. There’s never been… read more »
Making Slime
2012
As part of our science time the other day, the boys and I made slime. I got the recipe from Our Best Bites, and it’s really simple. I had my older son stir the Borax into the water until it dissolved, and I had the younger one empty the glue into another bowl and stir… read more »
From the Other Side
2012
I’m learning a lot about my boys by being their full-time teacher, and not just their parent. I’m learning how many of my older son’s behaviors were really academically related even though the public school seemed to think that just because his grades were OK, he was fine. It’s really astounding how little they understand… read more »
Cyber School Week 1
2012
This is the first week of cyber school. It’s overwhelming with two children in different programs and all of the online stuff plus their classes, plus testing, plus evaluations, plus evaluators who don’t show up for said evaluations, etc. The last few days have taught me a few things. 1. I like not yelling at… read more »
A New School Year
2012
School officially starts next week, and I feel grossly unprepared. I still log into my email first each morning, and not Blackboard. I need to change that. I’m not thrilled with having yet another place I need to log in and check each day, but I’ll get over it. Things for the boys’ classes have… read more »
And Breathe.
2012
If you read my #SNRyanGosling post this week, and for the last few weeks, you’ve probably surmised that our school district has been less than stellar. Let’s just suffice it to say that due to the illegal activities and things said to and about me that I wouldn’t be sad at all if people lost… read more »
#SNRyanGosling – Throw Them Under the Bus Edition
2012
What are you waiting for? link up already! Since people want to throw me under the bus lately, and didn’t want to do what was right until official paperwork was filed and the school board was contacted, I’m throwing them under this bus this morning. Why? Because I can, and after the weeks of them… read more »
#SNRyanGosling – A Mix Tape
2012
This week Ryan comes to you talking about allergies, the school (yes STILL. They’ve never solidified my decision to homeschool more), and therapy. OH! And I just thought of one for OT for next week. “Write that down.” Name that movie. Without further ado, the star of our Fridays, and hosted by Sunday,
School Transitions
2012
We have both boys transitioning this year. Have I mentioned that? I probably have. It’s one of the things that’s been preoccupying my mind these days. Since our oldest wasn’t diagnosed until he was 8 1/2, these are firsts all around. We have the older child transitioning to middle school. Having a child in middle… read more »
