Pictures of homeschool student

Oh my, it took all day to convince him to let me take these pictures. "So, you're telling me there is a process to writing?" Grammar. Practice makes perfect. Spanish anyone? Believe it or not, he really likes it.

Some pictures of the studnets I tutor

Oh, I hate Pre-Algebra. Thank goodness for calculators! W.H. Auden poetry analysis. She did a great job!

Just another week

Alert! Alert! New Information! Well, nothing has happened this week so far. My student is back from D.C. He had a wonderful time and thanked me for "making" him go. I just could not see him passing up a chance to see the nation's capitol. I am teaching him to write a proper essay. The topic is a persuasive essay to make someone want to go see the Capitol who has never been. I am looking forward to see what he has to say. He write in a journal everyday for part of his grade and he has a unique writing style. I am also trying to convince him to let me put a picture of him on here. Wish me luck on that. For some reason teenage boys just do not like having their pictures taken.

Trip to DC

Alert! Alert! New Information! Well folks, my home school student is going to Washington DC for a field trip. He is lucky enough to have a mom that will take him. I would love to go with him but my duties of being a mom will keep me at home. I have set up a guide for them while they are in DC. He is to take pictures, with him in them, to help report what he did while he was there. He will also be writing a paper about his trip. We have been doing research on the internet so he will know what he is looking at. I'm so glad he has taking this opportunity to see the capitol.

Finished another book

Alert! Alert! New Information! I know I was just on here, but I have to tell you all about the fourth book in the House of Night Series. WOW! This girl really has problems. The first part of the book was just playing catch up. The second half was intense. Zoey, the main character, is trying to stop an evil man spirit that her mentor is trying to bring back. Zoey has enlisted the help of her friends, again. This time she has also asked her grandma for help. Things get worse. Her grandma was in a car wreck because a evil spirit is trying to hurt the people Zoey is close to. I don't want to give away the ending in case any of you decide to read the book. I'm going tomorrow to get the fifth book. I can't wait.

Home Schooling Nightmare

Alert! Alert! New Information! So, I'm homeschooling this teenager. Friday, he doesn't show up to class. I call and text him. No answer. I was getting mad. I called his mother and she calls him. He uses the excuse that he was not feeling well and figured it would be okay not to come to class. What! I have other things to do besides be at his beck and call when he thinks he wants to do school work. This is the second time he has done this in the two weeks of homeschooling. I talked to his mom and told her if this happened one more time, than I was not going to continue homeschooling him. Blah! Why do teenagers think they rule the world?

Second week of home school

Alert! Alert! New Information! My home school student is going to start Spanish this week. WOW, so much fun. It's a good thing that was my minor. He has a test over nouns and Spanish vocab this week. Hopefully we can get more grammar covered this week and move on to some writing. He wants to try his hand at poetry. I can't wait for that. It seems high school boys have a natural ability for BSing their way through poetry. Hopefully the pictures from Halloween will be in this week. My home school student hates for his picture to be taken but I think I have him talked into a couple of pictures. We'll see. Well, wish me luck on the second week of homeschooling.
