Of course Myra! for us it just 'feels wrong and terribly unsettling'. At the same time, there are many girls who are active long before they are mature... Your information is good.

Starting Read-alouds - Blog Entry

awesome... I read a few Little House books outloud last year. I would read while we ate dinner. A few chapters really took out my voice. Now when we do read together, at their age, we don't do it too much, we share the work.

How Much Did Groceries Cost in the 1980s? - Blog Entry

20 Jan 2007 05:18 PM

In the 1980's I used to grocery shop with my mom. I was her calculator. We would pick up groceries and I would tell her to stop when we reached $100.00. If were weren't done when I said stop, we had decide what to put back, and what to pick up to reach $100.00. I was never more than $1.00 off.

There may have been anywhere from 9 to 11 people eating dinner each night. So 100.00 purchased, breakfast foods like oatmeal, pancake mix, and breakfast cereal, bread, peanut butter, jelly, bologna, mustard, mayo, ketchup, fruit, a couple gallons of milk, juice, (no soft drinks), 7 family packs of meat, rice, potatoes, vegetables, pasta, and sauce. I spend almost the same amount now for my family of 4.

Homeschooling and Scouting: Using Scouting to Fulfill Academic Requirements - Blog Entry

20 Jan 2007 05:05 PM

Jama Mama, for a high school transcript, I have been told (as I am not there yet) that you need to record the time spent on each subject, so add the scout time that applies to the other time spent in that subject. If you have a documentable project done in excellence, then you will want to add that to your child's portfolio.

Hope I helped.
