Why is that so hard with math and easy with everything else??? My dad has told me so many times that you can teach an entire elementary school curriculum in one year to an 11 year old, and I BELIEVE it, but DOING it are two different things. So Miriam's math book looks a little different this year. It is going SO MUCH BETTER. Eventually I'll get around to posting about it on frolic and farce. In the meantime, can I tell you how much I love Nature Friday and taking a day off to hang with my kids in the great outdoors?? LOVE IT. Some things are going really right this year. <br /><br />PS--Some of my oldest child's issues ended pretty much overnight when school started back up again. I wonder what a pyschologist would make of that.<br /><br />Miss you.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14301232211779225287noreply@blogger.com
