from Donna
I imagine a lot of you who took a summer break have resumed homeschooling or will soon. I'm entering year two of retirement. Life is just not as glamorous as a retired homeschooler.

Quiz 1 & Quiz II
This is one of two simple telling time quizzes. These two simple quizzes have been on the site cd for years, so this will not be new to everyone. The quizzes do not record how many hits or misses. Quiz 1 is the easier one with the questions in numerical order (1:00, 2:00). The questions in quiz 2 are not in numerical order.

The left side is for written observations and the right side has a place for a drawing or gathered samples. At the bottom of the right side page is a place to take note of the moon phase.

Review: Wordsmith, A creative writing course for young people, By Janie B. Cheaney
While I had my English books spread out all over my desk, I decided to write a review for the writing curriculum Wordsmith. Read about Wordsmith and why I recommend it. The review is based on my 1992 edition book and while there is a newer edition out, it is changed very little from the first one.
