Yay! For the baby talk and the multiplication!

We have had a terrible time getting started this year, so we haven’t started dragging yet, but I know it will come. Sounds like you have a great attitude about the whole thing. Keep on – keeping on.

Well, my Twitter “about me” says “Mommy drinks because the curriculum cries.”

I’ve been homeschooling all along too. It’s very normal for even very brilliant children who seem to have understood the math concept the first time and who normally plug right along doing great to suddenly have a huge brain fart. Then you have to reteach, but it usually sinks in the second time.

Our dragging month is usually in December due to the after Thanksgiving/pre-Christmas stuff.

My kids are 12 and 15 and we’ve been homeschooling all along. I can confirm that the dragging in November is indeed normal, as is the forgetting things already learned. I’d love to say something cute, but you don’t know me and might not realize that I’m joking about being driven to drink or something.

LOL. I love your sense of humor. It’s nice to hear every week doesn’t go perfectly.

I received our Vocab from Classical Roots this week and LOVE IT! I’m glad you mentioned it.

November is always tough on kids. It seems all the school work kicks it up a notch right when we are ready to go into hibernation. My husband teaches public school and notices the same thing. Reality has set in and the honeymoon is a fading memory.
