I’m going to attempt to ressurect this blog. To those of you still reading (and there are some of you! Thank you so much!!!), I apologize. It’s been a really weird summer for us and then school started and well, I’ll not try to justify anymore.
I’ve been doing some new things with preschool around our [...]

Winston Grammar
Posted in homeshooling on September 6, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Well, we’ve started the homeschool year about 4 weeks ago. So far, everything I chose for this year has been going well and Mr 12 is enjoying the curricula…except for Winston Grammar. I thought it would be a huge hit. It’s hands on, quick, painless, etc.
BUT, Mr 12 prefers Shurley English. That’s a total surprise [...]

Phew…I know it’s been quiet around here and I apologize. I have had such a crazy month that I’m just now resurfacing to find the computer and blog.
We went on our househunting trip (42 houses in 1 week makes for very tired mom, dad, and children). Thank goodness for my wonderful mom who came with [...]

Oh my! Where did the summer go? In just a few weeks, we will begin school around here at the Amblin household. I feel like I haven’t had enough summer with my little ones. We’ve had such a wonderful summer this year with vacations to Florida and North Carolina. We’ve been to the pool [...]

Sorry for such a long absence. Our family went on vacation and we’re finally back and settled in.
Let’s see…
We went to Disney World for 3 days. Lots of fun! I highly recommend their disability pass for those of you who have autistic children. It made SUCH a huge difference for my son, and by default…all [...]
Tips for Reluctant Math Students

Many of you know that I homeschool our eldest son, Mr 12. It is truly a blessing and probably the best decision we have ever made regarding this particular child.
Math has always been challenging for him. He is good at it, but has a poor self image of himself as a math student due to [...]
Homeschool ideas for struggling writers

I have a son who struggles mightily with writing. He has 100% effort and tries so hard. But writing remains a real challenge. I’ve found some things this year that are really helping so I thought I’d share them. If you have any ideas, I’d love to hear them as well!

Winter break is winding down, and our more formal homeschooling is soon to begin. Next Tuesday is the “official day”. I find myself a bit torn.
I’m excited to begin opening up the books, reading, writing, sharing, experimenting, etc.
At the same time, I will miss the holiday break. We spent our breaktime just hanging out together. We:
*went [...]

This morning is cold, extremely windy and rainy. Ick. But, things are looking up nicely with a Starbucks Carmel Apple Cider and Christmas music on the radio.
We have begun our Christmas around the world unit study. We chose the countries of Greece and Ethiopia for this week. It has been really amazing learning [...]
