Well, I promised to post my thoughts on my current curriculum, so here it goes:
Keep in mind I've only used it for 3 weeks so far. . . I'm still in the "honeymoon" phase.
I'm currently using My Father's World. They have a cheesy website but it gets the job done, I suppose. I was introduced to it by my friend, Sharon. She showed it to me at a curriculum fair a couple of years ago. At the time, I already had something I was using, so I wasn't really looking for anything new. I did however buy a series of books by YWAM which I have mentioned before. I think they are awesome. They are called Heroes of History and Christian Heroes. Anyway, I told my friend that I thought My Father's World (MFW) looked like a great curriculum and that if I were going to switch, I'd get that. hahaha Little did I know!
MFW has a Kindergarten program, first grade, Adventures in MFW for 2-3rd, and then a 5 year cycle of Geography and the 4 major periods of history. I bought year 4 because I wanted to start with American History. They recommend starting with year 1 (duh) but I chose year 4 for good reasons. MFW has recommendations for Language Arts and Math, but they don't really come with the program. . . however, you can order their suggestions through their website.
What I like:
1. It keeps us together. We are working/studying together. We are all on the same topic. (Although, M wanted to do 7th grade science, since he did 6th in SOS, so his science is separate. E and Z do it together. I just require more of E.) The curriculum tells you how to adjust it for older and younger students.
2. It is teacher friendly. It tells you exactly what to do, what is optional, what pages to read, what is for older students, what is for younger students, etc. It is very easy to understand and requires very little preparation. I think it takes me about 10 min. to get ready for the week. Super easy to use!
3. It comes with all of the books that you need. With a unit study I used in the past (Weaver) most of the information came in a big 3 ring notebook, but you didn't get books. I had to go to the library for books and hope they had something I could use. I'm sure there was a better way to do that, but it worked ok for through 3rd grade. With MFW, it comes with the books you need and tells you exactly what to read from the books. The readings are fairly short. They are also narrative in form, so it "captures the imagination." For the longer readings, I make it optional for my 5 yr old, if she wants to listen or go play.
4. It incorporates many of Charlotte Mason's ideas.
5. It incorporates classical ideas, like "The Well-Trained Mind." History is taught in chronological order and then you write a summary on what you have learned. This is also good for our writing skills.
6. It uses a Christian worldview.
7. For Bible, we are studying the book of James. We have an "inductive" Bible study book that we work on for a week, then we work on memorizing the verses for a few weeks. In the last 2 weeks, my kids have memorized the first 8 verses of James. (Me, too!) By December, if we keep it up, we will be able to quote the entire book of James to you! :) (Although, you might not want to hear it--"Consider it pure joy. . .whenever you face trials. . .)
8. Very little is scheduled for Friday. Sometimes "optional" history is assigned. Bible, Math and Language Arts are assigned. Friday can be used as a "catch-up" day, an outing day (home school group) or housework day. This is very nice.
What I don't like:
1. It's taking up most of my day. The website is misleading when testimonials say that they are done by noon. They must have one very young child. I'm schooling 3 different grades and have a disruptive toddler. It would help a lot if my kids would stay on task and obey.
2. Although there is virtually no planning on my part, I am doing most of the teaching. They aren't doing much on their own. This is good and bad. The good part is that I'm learning a lot. The bad part is that they depend on me too much.
3. I'm not sure about their suggestions for Language Arts and Math. They suggest Saxon Math for 7th and up and I will probably take that suggestion. I'm not sure about using Singapore for the younger--although I might. I've never seen the Language Arts that they recommend.
4. It costs a lot to buy all those books.
I'm sure there will be more that I don't like in the future, but like I said, I'm still in the honeymoon phase. The time commitment might prove to be too much. My hope is that God is going to show me a way to get my kids to mind better and it will help shorten the school day. On the other hand, in a couple of years I will want to teach Iz how to read and I might really have my hands full. Maybe M will be WAY more independent by then and will virtually teach himself . . . and you guys think I always see the glass half empty! ha

A Curriculum Review
I have used Switched-On School house for almost two years and I've decided to use something different now. I thought I might write down what I liked and didn't like about SOS. Initially, I had a really hard time making the decision to use it in the first place. Everything I've read on home schooling said not to use the fill-in-the-blank type curriculum. On the other hand, I had heard good things about Alpha Omega and I, myself, used a fill-in-the-blank Christian curriculum (ACE) from 5th-12th grade. I had no problems with it and I made wonderful grades in college, as did many of my classmates from Christian school. So, herein lies my argument that it's completely OK to use it! After struggling over the decision for a while, I bought it. M used it for 5th and 6th (except for the last unit, which is a review unit). E used it for a few months for 3rd grade Language Arts and Math.
First, what I like:
1. The student can work semi-independently. Of course, it depends on your students' personality and abilities. M got to the point where he could do most of it by himself, but E didn't.
2. The material is good and has a definite Christian worldview. I especially appreciated the lessons on creationism vs. evolution. I thought it explained things very well.
3. There's a fair amount of versatility in the software. Teachers can control which questions they want to omit, how many times the student can try to answer a question, what % the lessons, quizzes and test are worth towards the grade. . .etc. If the student misses a question and the teacher thought the student's answer was correct, she can count it right, or give him partial credit.
4. The computer does most of the grading for you. This can be good and bad, as I will explain later.
5. If you use it for more than one student, it is pretty economical.
6. It is not messy. Everything is nice and neat in the computer! :)
7. Everything is exactly on the right level. Before SOS, I found that many times the books we were reading on whatever topic were either way above their heads or too simplistic. It's nice to have it at the right level.
8. All subjects are covered thoroughly. You don't need to supplement.
Drawbacks:
1. It wasn't as independent as I would have liked it to be. Much of the time, I sat at the computer with them because they just weren't getting it. It took M a long time to become more independent and E never did.
2. Because the computer is grading your work and it gives you immediate feedback, it can be discouraging when the student gets the answers wrong. (If you don't know you missed it, you can move on and not worry. If you got it wrong, you are fixated on the fact that you just missed that question!) Sometimes the answer isn't really wrong. It may have just been looking for a different wording, or the spelling wasn't close enough for it to recognize the word, but the student doesn't know that, so they are looking for another answer entirely. It's not just the spelling, either. Sometimes it's just hard to guess what it wants you to answer. M found this especially frustrating with his personality.
3. The student should read all the material, then answer the questions. However, it's too tempting to read the questions and look for the answers. . .and then ignore everything else in the reading. It's not a natural way to read. I did it that way when I was in school, too. I told M to read it all first, then answer, but I think it was just too tempting. Even when I would sit at the computer to help, I would do the same.
4. I missed books, personally. Books are good. By the time M had done his work, he didn't want to read anymore.
5. Many times there would be questions where there was no answer in the reading. Many times the questions were too nit-picky. For us, that was way too much stress for stuff we probably won't remember anyway: for instance, all of the African countries and each of their unique histories! There were times that he couldn't find the answer and I would sit down to 6th grade History and I could not find the answer. I graduated in the top 10% at my college, so it's not that I'm a dumb blond. I personally don't want to put that much stress on my 11 year old!
6. For Math, they have little green squares in which to type the answers. When the student is filling them out, sometimes there's not a place to put . . . let's say when you are "carrying" a number. . .that little number one. Sometimes it was inconsistent about whether it wanted that little one in the green square or not. So then, the answer was wrong and the student can't figure out why. He thinks he added incorrectly or something. Then he is stuck on a question that is actually correct! This is the main reason I wouldn't suggest SOS for Math. M could work around this because he does mental math well and is more confident, but this was a huge problem for E, who was doing a lot of "borrowing" and "carrying" and is less confident.
7. It takes up a lot of room on your computer. It slowed down everything else for us.
8. You can't resale it. It's illegal. (Some software copyright thing.)
9. It keeps everyone separated, instead of reading good literature together. . . like I did this afternoon with my kids because it was in my curriculum. I wouldn't have done that if I had to sit at the computer with each one individually, trying to find nit-picky answers on Lybian history. President who?! I prefer us all being together. I also prefer writing summaries over searching for answers to nit-picky questions.
10. Also, on that topic, if you don't have a computer for each child, one child is waiting for the other to finish so that he can have his turn on the computer. This was pretty annoying, too. The first one would finish and get to go play with the neighbors and whoever had to wait was out of luck!
Alright, I think I'm out of opinions for now. Next time, I will tell you what I think about our new curriculum so far.

Change
Change has been a big buzz word this year. I'm not usually someone who joins a bandwagon. I feel like I need to qualify that a bit. In social circumstances, I try to be compliant and agreeable--go with the flow, as long as it's nothing against my conscience. I do like to follow fashion trends to an extent. I intentionally bought a large purse because I heard they were in style. (I was also helping it would make my body look smaller to carry a big bag. lol) But, I'm not going to live out in the country because everybody else is doing it. I'm not going to buy a van after having 2 kids because everybody else is doing it. I'm not going to buy a particular curriculum because everybody's doing it. You get the drift. So, anyway. . . change: that's one thing that I feel like God is calling me to this year. I need to change a lot. I am praying about what God wants to change. Here's what's changed so far:
1. We adopted a dog. That's a big deal because I didn't really want a dog. They are a lot of work. E, however, has wanted a dog forever. I was going to let him get a guinea pig, and I thought I heard God say, "Why not go ahead and get him what he really wants." So, I prayed for a dog that I wouldn't dislike. So far, so good.
2. I bought new curriculum. I'm not done buying new curriculum. I need to get Math and Language Arts still. This is a big change; it's totally different from what we were doing before. I feel like I have "real" curriculum for the first time and I think it's a good change. Last year, people would ask me what it was like to home school four kids. I wanted to tell them it was horrible, but I would say something like, "It's a lot of hard work." I think we needed a big change to get us out of that mode. Our new curriculum is a lot more fun and I think if we can deal with some discipline issues, things will be really wonderful.
3. We got real cell phones. Ok, that's not that important, but it's a big deal to me. We just had those "trac phones" before and I always felt like I was spending money to call anybody. Now, we dropped the landline, got unlimited texting, mobile to mobile, free nights and weekends, and 700 shared minutes. So now, I can call people long distance and not worry about how much it's going to cost me. It's not about the phones. It's about relationships! :) Just a side note for Wendy, I don't think my homemade knit cell cozy is cool. I just had fun making it and it protects my cell from scratches until we get cases. But, you're right. It makes me very un-cosmopolitan!
4. We changed churches. This one is really big. Allister has been leading worship at a small church plant for 2.5 years. Lately, it just hasn't felt right. We have been praying about this for a few months. It was really hard, but he finally bit the bullet and talked to the pastor. He agreed to lead worship for another week and come one more for a "going away" party. (I'm not sure that's really the right phrase for it.) We have been attending another large church for over a month and we plan to make it our home church. (Wendy, you will like it.) One thing I love about this church is that 3 of my girls--also home school moms--and their families go there and I get to be greeted by a smiling very familiar face who is sincerely glad to see me. That is one of the best feelings in the world! Sometimes I even get a hug--and it doesn't feel weird because they are friends, not strangers.
5. I'm having great quiet times. In the past, (since becoming a mother) I have had a really hard time with these. A baby would inevitably interrupt. God has really been blessing me this year with good quiet times. I have tried to have them in the morning after a late night, but that didn't work. I pretty much have to have them at night.
6. God has increased my faith. I don't know why He waited to do that at this time, but He has and I'm grateful. I've been needing a good dose for long time.
I am praying about more changes. I'm looking forward to seeing what else God has in store this year! Hopefully, I will become rich and drop 20 lbs! Just kidding--sort of. . . hahaha. Yep, I need to mature some more.

Hablo Espanol
While I was at Ross with Z in her ballet outfit Thursday night, we were on an aisle with a mother and grown daughter who were speaking Spanish. Z was curious and asked, "Mommy, are they speaking Spanish?"
"Yes," I replied.
"What are they saying?"
"I don't know. I wasn't listening."
"Are they from Mexico?"
"I don't know, Z, some Americans speak Spanish."
By this time, the women were laughing at loud at us. I was afraid Z was going to cry because she gets embarrassed easily. The older lady turned to me and said, "I am from Mexico. I come from Chihuahua."
The younger woman added, "I was born in California. This is my mother."
Z informs, "My mommy went to Mexico."
I added, "I lived in Oaxaca for 6 months."
The woman turns to her daughter and says in Spanish (I will translate for you.), "This woman is a good person. She has a heart for the Mexican people." That really touched my heart that she could see that in me. I DO have a heart for Hispanics, especially women and children.
She turned to me and said (in Spanish), "You were a missionary?"
I replied (in Spanish), "Yes, my husband and I worked in a children's home. There were 30 children in the home. Now we have 4 children of our own. 3 boys and her, " touching Z.
They told me that Z was pretty and that she looks like me. :)
Z asked, "How do you say ballerina in Spanish?"
The lady told her slowly, "Bai-la-ri-na. Bailarina. Bailarina de ballet." Then, asked me in Spanish if she's taking ballet.
Then Z says, "I know a song in Spanish."
By this time, more Hispanic women have gathered. (I'm not kidding!) They all chimed in and asked her to sing it for them! Oh, how I wished Z had not felt too shy at that moment. That would have been a huge blessing! She knows how to sing, "En mi casa vive Jesus!"
Z shook her head to say, "no."
I asked her, "Would you sing it if I sang with you?"
She still refused. I let it go. The ladies started to leave and the one turned to me and said (in Spanish), "God bless you."
I replied, "You, too!"
Then, she added, "I'm a Christian, too."
I smiled and said, "Good." I didn't know what else to say.
This experience was a wonderful blessing and I came home smiling. It was so sweet. It reminded me how much I would like to be in some kind of local ministry where I can use my Spanish. I know there are opportunities. I'd like to be able to do it as a family (with Allister) with a church or another local organization. I am earnestly praying for Allister's job will change so that we can afford for him to work less and that he would be available (schedule change) for more ministry opportunities and family time.
"Yes," I replied.
"What are they saying?"
"I don't know. I wasn't listening."
"Are they from Mexico?"
"I don't know, Z, some Americans speak Spanish."

Oh Dear
Boomer got out tonight while we were eating dinner. I thought E was going to hyperventilate. I kept telling him to have faith and pray. (Yes, Wendy, I did. Can you believe it? I did NOT say, "He'll probably get hit by a car, so prepare yourself.") I prayed; Z prayed; E prayed. M and Allister found the stupid black dog in the dark. Thank God. I didn't know how I was going to live with it if we didn't. I felt bad about the mice, but this is a dog and a pretty nice one. I hope that a couple of boys learned a lesson about checking the gates, because I am not capable of keeping up with that.
Today I went in search of new workout pants. I decided my butt is just too big for yoga pants. I found out that my butt looks just as big in any workout pants and didn't buy any. I did have fun shopping, though. . . and I came home with a new purse, earrings, sunglasses and shoes (all things that don't matter if I'm fat). My poor husband's going to have to work that extra night after all. No, just kidding. They were all extremely inexpensive but really cute. I LOVE Ross and Burlington. I rarely give myself permission to buy anything for myself and I decided it was time. My purse was looking really ratty. My sunglasses were severely scratched. I had lost my little silver hoop earrings. The shoes were practical and only $15 for cute leather Sketchers.

Ok, Girls. . . let's vote. Who thinks any of this is true about me?
You Are a Turtleneck Sweater |
 You are sophisticated, streetwise, and even a little cynical. You are quite cultured, and you don't fall for gimmicks or trends easily. You are naturally chic. You have a urban, cosmopolitan style. And you know that the secret to looking good is not trying too hard! |
Knitting Knerd
I made a cell phone cozy. I made up the pattern myself. :) I'm almost done with Mom's scarf, then I will start on Baby nephew's blanket.
Boomer
We picked up this little guy from the Human Society on Saturday. E has wanted a dog forever and I'm not a dog person. The Human Society lets you have a home visit for a week. It's Thursday and so far this has been a great dog. That means a lot coming from me. He is fairly obedient, loves people, house broken, and pretty sweet. Iz can poke him in the eye and he won't do anything to him. He loves for us to pet and love on him.
