Q&A #2

Such a great day of learning while having fun. When I did my student teaching, "THE FARM", was my favorite. You had a hot day for this one. Where is this farm?
Yes, it was fun!! I love doing stuff like that with them. I'm much better at hands on stuff than I am with just showing them in a book. I think I get as bored as they do! It WAS hot though! We weren't there as long as we could have been! This farm is in Clarksville off of Highway 12... it's not quite as good as Honeysuckle Hill Farm which is off exit 24 on the way to Springfield, but it was still fun for the little ones. 


Okay I know you've dealt with many questions about the kids desks before, but I'm going to ask more :). Kaitlyn does not have a desk. Currently she does homework at the kitchen table. Actually, Natalie does too. Natalie however has a huge desk. I've been thinking of replacing it to give us more room in their bedroom. And especially recently I've been trying to figure out how to make more room in there. So anyways, are the desks big enough for a middle school aged child and beyond? 
No, Kass and Kam would look pretty silly in these desks. I would say maybe up to age 7 (for a typically sized child). Check out the website where I got them though, they have all kinds of desks for older kids too at pretty good prices! 


Renee, getting a book from another library sent to our library is called an InterLibrary Loan. I saw them happen all the time when I worked in the APSU library. The public library should do something like it too.
Thanks!!! I will definitely try that! I think next week I will need books from there again. :)


I follow your blog and am considering homeschooling my children. I was so sorry to hear about how the school treated Kennedy. I was wondering, are you planning to also homeschool Kellsey when the time comes? I'm guessing she would be in the same exact situation as Kennedy. Just curious! 
I'm not sure... right now Kellsey is in a fabulous preschool and I am praying hard that she makes great strides there. Her teacher is very encouraging about what Kellsey is doing and how she is progressing. However, when time for Kindergarten comes, if she's still not talking, I'm not sure that I could homeschool her... Now that being said, I said about 2 years ago that I would NEVER homeschool any of my children because I simply couldn't do it. And well... here we are. Out of necessity. So, we'll see what happens with Kellsey. I've learned to never say never. As it stands right now I don't feel qualified to give her an education, but we have a lot of time before Kindergarten and I know she will change a lot between now and then. But you are right, she would be in the exact situation as Kennedy here in our school system. 


Glad for the most part everyone is healthy. Hoping Kennedy continues to improve from her sinus infection. What gave you that food poisoning anyways? No more set backs with that education now, lol.
Sadly, I think it was my favorite Mexican restaurant. It will be awhile before I can eat there again!
