Homeschool Lesson for Adults - Grandma Barb had an accident!

I just found out my mom had an accident. Some guy backed into her car in the parking lot. She was so upset, she only got his policy number. Now, she has to pay for the damages to her car on her own. I am hoping I can help her out some by seeing if I can find out who he is.


Get insurance you aren't ashamed of!

No insurance is required in Bolivia, but you can get good insurance in the USA by clicking the picture above! And you won't be ashamed to give your other policy information if you do have an accident.

Word lists - ca*e

We worked with ca*e noun words today.
cave
cage
cape
cake
cane
case (remember, we just won in court against Alan and Teresa in Indianapolis, and we will soon have at least some of our things back from those people, and soon receive damages from them for the things they have disposed of. Mr Baby is VERY excited to know he will soon have many of his precious toys back!)

And also the verb forms below:
care
came
Just remember, when you are teaching a young child new words,make it relevant, and when you hear them say 'enough' or something similar, stop. Learning should be fun, not tiresome! If there's no pressure, and it's fun, and empowering, they will remain receptive to what you teach. take those little lessons you come across in everyday life, and expand them for your child. use his or her curiosity to open their minds to your lessons. The best curriculum out there is where your child naturally goes.

Spring is almost over, and here comes summer!!!!!!

With Alan and Teresa in Indy stealing our things, it's getting time to get some outside toys for MrBaby. I'm looking at the portable ones, not the regular swing sets, but the Little Tikes Cubes. those would be best, plus I think it would be cute for him to hide from King and JuJu that way. Then there's always the option of putting a sheet over it for him, and turning it into a tent, too. We go to court in three days! I'll keep you posted!

Biology - Skeletons

Interactive game here. Put the skeleton back together to see and hear him clap his hands. Or maybe it was a girl skeleton! One of the other links at the website has a tutorial on what the bones do. The link leads to not only the skeleton unit, but also to the brain, heart, and digestive tract pages for their website. It is available in English and Spanish.

We also pointed out different bones on the glow in the dark skeleton.
