New Forms posted

January is a great time of year to start preparing for an end of the year assessment. You will appreciate anything you get done now in May.   Some simple things you can do.

1.  Try finding samples and putting them in a file folder.


2. Write down some accomplishments your student has made.  (put in above folder. )


3.  Take some pictures of projects your student has accomplished so far. 


4. Have your student do a writing sample and copy it.  Maybe copy a thank you note, or a list they have made, or maybe a story they have written.

5. Download the forms you need here and begin saving samples.  

Celebrate how far you have come this year!

All the best,
Becky

Thank you so much to everyone who entered the contest.  I really appreciate all the support.  
The two winners are  Judy (homeschool penguin) and Laura Phelps!  Congratulations!

Please contact me for your 'you won' certificate. I hope they're a help to your family.

Please contact me if I can help you in anyway this year.  It's a dreary day here, but I know the tulips will shortly be emerging and it'll be time to finish up the school year.

Enjoy the day!!

Ending 2011 Announcing Contest for January 3

It's so hard to believe that in another 18 days or so the 2011 will be over.  I'm not sure how it happened. It seems like the year has just begun.  I hope you're enjoying the last of 2011 with your children.   

I want to announce that I will have a free narrative giveaway starting on January 3, 2012.  Please be sure to drop by to enter the contest.  I will be giving away  two assessments for the 2011-2012 school year. The information to enter will be posted on January 3rd.  Please spread the word.

This will be my last post for the year.  I'm spending the holidays getting ready for baby #7.  We're having a little boy on January 24, 2012, and are so excited!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!
