Its almost Midsummer, soon be time to visit the stone circle near my home and pay my respects to my Druid ancestors. The stone circle has a great "pull" on me, it must be folk memory. I will lay a laurel wreath for you and you may dream about the queen of the May. Little sun here today, quite cool.

We are doing almost all of the same types of things. I am going to use that reading placement test. She was a late reader, but I believe she is above grade level now, but I would like to know for sure. Thanks for all the links! I didn't have a bunch of them. I have quite a few links on my blog's sidebar: http://educatingemme.blogspot.com I think Em will really like some of those spelling games and other websites.

I'm only just getting ready to start my oldest, so I don't yet know anything about "standards." In theory I object to them. Seriously. I am utterly confident that by the grace of God and the hard work of their parents my children will leave home knowing everything they need to know. I don't like to be told <i>when</i> they have to know it by before they are labeled. (Some) People seem to understand this when one talks about, say, sex education, but they start scratching their heads when you also mean reading, essay-writing, math and spelling. "Reality Check!" (I wish to say) "Their well-being is not yet dependent on these skills. Lighten-up!" I'm convinced I'll never be an un-schooler in practice, but philosophically I'm almost there. The faithfulness of God works with (and even despite the lack of) the faithfulness of his people. For all that, I guess I'm saying search your conscience, make sure you're in-line (sounds like it to me, but we only know our own hearts), and throw your fears on the mercy of God. I'll quit preaching now ;) Blessings on your day! Thanks for visiting ;o)
