Hurray for Christmas break! <br /> I will try to remember to bring some recipe ideas too. I am not really good at recipes. I just make things up as I go, which sometimes works and sometimes fails miserably. <br /> I guess I do the same with school too. If you had met me at 12, you would have never imagined I would end up a "play it by ear" person... but I guess I changed over time. I have a generalized plan, and then just go. <br /> So excited for you. See you in a month!

I'm definitely keeping up with your homeschooling...I need at much advice as I can get, lol!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10313812151694340079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6313889440967407970.post-67111068638822037642013-11-13T13:43:06.782-08:002013-11-13T13:43:06.782-08:00As a matter of fact, I ended up selling my teacher...As a matter of fact, I ended up selling my teacher manual for Abeka Math because I wasn't using it, ha ha. Just looking at the workbook and teaching what was on each page as we go!Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17122729026438550593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6313889440967407970.post-43701452947586895452013-11-13T13:41:45.838-08:002013-11-13T13:41:45.838-08:00I think you've made FABULOUS choices! Not too ...I think you've made FABULOUS choices! Not too much, just the right amount to be able to add fun things in as you want. I made the mistake of doing too much history early on and really had to dial it back because honestly what about history do you REALLY remember as far as details go from when you were that young? ha ha. And there's only so much of it so plenty of time to delve into the nitty gritty when they are older.<br />I went through so many math curriculums through the years and have ended up back in Abeka this year for 4th and 5th. My only warning with Abeka is this: DO NOT FEEL LIKE YOU HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING THE TEACHER MANUAL SAYS!!!!! Seriously! It's OVERKILL! Just teach the lessons and do some practice and she will be fine!<br />I am very excited for you, and again, I think you have made fabulous choices that will be just right for you guys! SO HAPPY to not see a million different subjects on your plate because again from experience that can get you set up to feel disappointed if you don't do it ALL. ha ha.<br />GREAT JOB MAMA!Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17122729026438550593noreply@blogger.com
