Ken and Evan are currently in Canada at a music festival with Caleb. They left on Friday, armed with birth certificates and a notarized parental permission form, which they didn't need.
For some reason (massive coughing? 102 degree fevers?) we haven't done much school for the past few weeks. I want to get back to it on Monday. Here is a list of our present projects:
Renaissance unit studies: Our World History videos, lots of books, art projects, etc.
Math is The Life of Fred
. Excellent fun!Science : Ken and Neal are watching a college-level video series from The Teaching Company on Earth Science. It's detailed and interesting. Allie and I are reading several books.
Writing for the history notebook and for fun.
Maybe, if the weather is as promised, we'll go to the Columbus Zoo this week. This being Ohio in march, though, it's a bit unlikely.

I was happy to discover your Indie Education blog today. I was unable to find an email link or profile profile. I hope it's OK that I'm contacting you through a public comment. I've developed an educational program for Windows called SpellQuizzer that helps children learn their spelling words without the battle that parents often have getting them to sit down and write them out while the parents dictate to them. The parent enters the child's spelling words into the software making a sound recording of each word. Then the software helps the child practice his or her words. It really helped my children with their weekly spelling lists.
I would appreciate your reviewing SpellQuizzer in Indie Education. You can learn more about the program at http://www.SpellQuizzer.com. There's a video demo you can watch at http://www.spellquizzer.com/SpellQuizzer-Demo.htm. I'd be happy to send you a complimentary license for the software. Please let me know if you are interested.
Thank you very much!
