I used to be terrified as a kid, but with practice in various forms it is less terrifying. I can do it, not great, but I can at least do it.Desireehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10714539087541911478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515491755026279339.post-35124870371121934122021-07-01T02:35:07.647+10:002021-07-01T02:35:07.647+10:00I think I need to find the Charlotte Mason Compani...I think I need to find the Charlotte Mason Companion and give it a read this summer.Lori - At Home: where life happenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06775573894715822342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515491755026279339.post-5497908835856206442013-03-30T09:42:16.350+11:002013-03-30T09:42:16.350+11:00Me too :) BlessingsMe too :) BlessingsChareenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11794637667607696242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515491755026279339.post-72543841011447904572013-03-30T09:41:49.922+11:002013-03-30T09:41:49.922+11:00Me too!Me too!Chareenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11794637667607696242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515491755026279339.post-24309152982523988812013-03-29T22:36:18.114+11:002013-03-29T22:36:18.114+11:00Glad I stopped by your blog this morning, I didn&#...Glad I stopped by your blog this morning, I didn't know there was a highschool link up!Mama Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06306179184674244791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515491755026279339.post-4268331530638055102013-03-28T20:49:03.874+11:002013-03-28T20:49:03.874+11:00I used to stress quite a bit about the high school...I used to stress quite a bit about the high school language arts, but I think I'm relaxing a little more as the years go by. I now mostly focus on the composition part in the form of essays, and I'm keen on them reading - a lot.<br /><br />As for the younger girls, we will also be doing some copywork with them.

That's one of the reasons I really enjoyed using IEW's products and watching the DVD lessons with my students. I knew from the lesson what to expect and was able to grade accordingly.<br /><a href="http://www.excellenceinwriting.com/catalog/writing" rel="nofollow">Institute for Excellence in Writing</a>Chareenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11794637667607696242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8515491755026279339.post-23098582137171832422013-03-28T19:17:01.939+11:002013-03-28T19:17:01.939+11:00"Mature self expression begins with the art o..."Mature self expression begins with the art of narration"-true!<br />I have been impressed with the way that my little ones have picked up words from read-alouds but yes, language arts in high school do seem much more scary. The part that I find most difficult is marking a child's creative writing. This year, we've chosen to send our 12 year old's creative writing out for marking. This is helpful for a second opinion but difficult to receive marks and comments from an unknown person.DeliveringGracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08320150355352857841noreply@blogger.com
