Friday, June 8th, 2007Some have been discussing what they’ll be doing for the summer and so I thought I’d add my plans. I really do plan on making up a reading list to participate in SeasonalSounding’s Summer Reading Challenge, but at the moment, I’m not sure how to prioritize my reading and to-do list. I rarely get everything [...]
VTrain
Friday, June 8th, 2007VTrain is drilling software. It’s touted as vocabulary training software, but the program is so versatile that it can be used for many things. It has “smart drilling” capabilities where cards are advanced as the student shows mastery and continued review is required for items not mastered. Scheduling can be set up for [...]
More P&P
Thursday, May 31st, 2007I forgot that some photos could be found here: kleinekatze This blog belongs to the girl who played Jane. Some of Teacherperson’s photos were taken during rehearsal, and the scenery wasn’t all put together yet. So Kleinekatze’s photos from the actual performance give a better feel for the look of the whole thing.
Pride & Prejudice
Tuesday, May 29th, 2007For those of you who know us and know Nate and Amy, BUT you don’t know Teacherperson, here are commentary and photos from the production of Pride & Prejudice that Amy directed in State College, PA where they are living while Nate is a graduate student at Penn State. The “Nate” playing Mr. Darcy should [...]
Interesting-things-about-me tag
Sunday, May 6th, 2007Deanna at Stories Happen tagged me for this meme. Juanita offered to tag anyone wanting to be tagged–so I’ll consider this to be in response to her tag also. Only problem with this is that what is interesting to me may not be very interesting to anyone else. However, I’ll take my cue [...]
Wisdom and Eloquence
Thursday, May 3rd, 2007Juanita wrote a review of this book which I read a few months ago–maybe even close to a year ago. About the only helpful thing I said about the book at the time was that I thought it would be the first book I would recommend for those wanting to learn about classical ed. I [...]
History comes alive….in a cemetery
Tuesday, May 1st, 2007Click on the photo to bring up a larger view.
This is Oak Hill Cemetery in San Jose, California. We visited on our trip to California and Oregon when we were checking out Gutenberg College for Sam 2 1/2 years ago (boy, is Abbie short!). My grandparents are interred at this cemetery (I use that [...]
Home School Moms
Friday, April 20th, 2007I’m not doing very much typing tonight because I did one of those motherly things of burning my finger–badly–before dinner tonight. Doesn’t take much air time before I feel the need to get it back in the cold. I saw this linked at MargaretinVA’s blog. She referenced Cindy’s blog for her source. So [...]
What do we value?
Wednesday, April 18th, 2007Cindy posted a link to this article almost as an aside because so many of her internet friends already knew about it. I didn’t and didn’t read it right away until I saw it linked also by the DHM. You really don’t want to miss this article. It’s lengthy, so fix a cup of [...]
“Little Rock Nine”
Sunday, April 15th, 2007Okay, this is sort of a last ditch effort. I have been unable to find a movie that I saw several years ago. I had planned on watching it for Civil Rights era history and have been unable to find the movie (Netflix doesn’t even have it). It’s called The Ernest Green Story. [...]
