Boy did I get behind. I greatly apologize, life happens.
What wonderful opportunities for learning we have had! We have gotten some real first hand knowledge of illnesses, including some that cause rashes and about the life cycles and eating habits of dragonflies.
Yes, we believe that Chicken Pox is alive and well. As is an insane stomach bug. That is truly all I have to say about Summer illness in our home!
We have had several dragonfly pairs lay eggs in our small pond out front. The eggs have hatched and we now have 10 or more very hungry, aggressive dragonfly nymphs. They have attacked and eaten nearly all of the mosquito larvae in there!
I also have a change to report: Our "official" start date is September 14th. I couldn't see beginning before Labor day, so I chose the next Monday. And it IS official...I have sent in the required notice of intent to home educate to the county school district! WOOT! I can't wait, so excited.
I will also have Bubba blog and write on here. So, look forward to seeing his outlook on his home education experience.

Wow...Here we are
I am not sure where to begin, as we are just beginning to home school.
Bubba is a 6 year old child gifted with the love of learning and the ability to pick up knowledge on his own. He taught himself to read at 2, and was writing many words by 3. He has picked up the Spanish language originally by watching Dora the Explorer and Diego, but has turned to immersing himself in the language by watching the TV channel, Vme. He loves to use the computer. He has several sites that he navigates himself, such as http://www.vmetv.com , http://www.noggin.com , http://www.poissonrouge.com , http://www.brainpop.com (a pay site), and many more.
He has been tested and found to be "gifted". He is, however, learning to overcome social and sensory issues. He has fine and large motor skills problems and a congenital heart defect.
Sissa is 3. We will be letting her tag on with our learning experience until she actively asks to be included. She is more physical than Bubba. She likes to dance, run, climb and ride trikes.
