Apparently.. even if you have NEVER IN YOUR LIFE watched Hannah Montana.. and to be honest, don’t have a clue who she is.. you can still think she’s cool. The joy’s of having a 5 year old. She’s never seen hannah montana.. and before she could read she didn’t even know who the girl was when I asked her to tell me who was on the cover of pretty much EVERYTHING in sight at Walmart. But still… Brianna sings a song yesterday and tells me she’s singing like “hannah montana”. WHY??? where does she pick up this stuff? oh well… at this point and time she’s just repeating a name and doesn’t really know what she’s talking about I guess.

Mondays are always busy it seems. Co-op and driving there and back really give us a full day. I ended up getting groceries tonight as well but Jesse went with me so that was nice. \
Back to school tomorrow though.. (we take monday’s off since she has homeschool coop on monday’s) last week went SO well I couldn’t believe it when Saturaday hit without one hitch all week long. I’m finally starting to get on a better schedule. Hopefully I can keep that up! Brianna is doing really well with everything. She likes math best.. but I like teaching reading best. It’s so much fun to see her read things and know I taught her how to do that LOL.
Here is tomorrow’s reading so you can get an idea of what she’s doing. (learn to read in 100 easy lessons)
a dog was in the fog. a cat was in the fog. a goat was in the fog.
the dog and the cat and the goat came to a log.
the cat and the dog sat on the log.
the dog and the cat said, “we are on a log.”
the goat said, “I am not on the log. I am in the log. hehe.”
___________________________
very simple, alot of repeating sounds and words which makes it great because that sound imprints into their head and she remembers alot of these words now. She’s also learned periods, question marks, and what quotation marks are.

In math tomorrow (right start math)
This is for Esther since we’ve been talking about diff. math programs
she will learn about ellipse and hexagon
how to fold those figures in half
she will cut out hexagons and learn how to arrange them so they fill up a space (like a honeycomb)
point out the horizontal lines in the hexagons
show how many sets of horizontal lines there are in hexagons (3)
REVIEW: ellipse
hexagons
rectangle
rhombas
… hand her a cut out ellipse, diamond, square, and triangle.. ask her to fold them in half so the sides are the same. Tell her that is symmetry and discuss the meaning of symmetry.
Use our place value cards (just cards with the numbers on them 1, 2, 3, etc.. and review the ones place and the tens place.
3 addition and 2 subtraction word problems

When Leann, Evan, and Lillith came over today Leann brought the coolest picture. She found it a few weeks ago and got it for me I think I’m going to put it in the girls room over their bed. Sorry for all the glares on the pictures glass.
oh, and it’s BIG.. this looks like it should be smaller in the pic. I took because of the work it would have taken but it’s a really big picture. Wish I had the patience for stuff like that!
and, a close up.. look at the details.. someone put alot of work into this!
The girls had a blast playing with Evan today.. now they are on mandatory rest time LOL.. GROUCHY from to much playing!

cookies to decorate (animals.. since we did Noah’s ark).. and the rainbow
craft time!
Noah.. Molly made this! He turned out so cute
ignore the brushes.. I’m just playing with photoshop
Cute little mason.. my settings were off but he smiled at me when I lifted the camera up so I tried to catch the smile anyway
was today. Molly did this months (I think we are going to trade back and forth) It was so nice to not have to do as much this time around! She asked me if I wanted to use her stuff or if I minded her getting stuff together. I was like … are you kidding? Feel FREE to do it LOL. This week was SO busy it was great to have that one extra thing off my plate.. I just helped set up and the like. The kids loved it. I took several pictures so I’ll try and get those up later. Jesse has my camera at the moment out at the house he is building.

I don’t usually hesitate to Spam my blog with stuff for other people.. (without being asked LOL) but don’t usually spam things I’m involved in. However, this is something I really believe in and thought I’d go ahead and spam away on this one.
Also, if you are a photographer (you have to have a photography biz.) in the Waco area we could really use help. I’m trying to get everything going with the hospitals and such and as I’m the only one in the area.. more would be greatly appreciated.
