I thought it about time I shared some links.  Here are some websites and blogs I’ve been reading lately.

Shaping Little Souls has posted, teaching our children how to apologise.  I have used these very same steps except there are some extra words in there that spark a lot of teaching opportunities – expand the ideas of an apology.  Have a look at see – watch for these words:  regret, responsibility, restitution, repent, requesting.  Ha!  Look at that they all start with R – I didn’t notice that before.  That should make it easy to remember.  I personally like the order to be different but I’ll post on that another day.   I’m going to make a prompt chart using this during the week.

Helping our children deal with their emotions is a big issue for parents (sometimes we are still struggling with dealing with our own emotions.)  I appreciated the options and tools that Megan offers at SimpleKids, 6 Peaceful Solutions for Hitting and Anger.

Last week I began (again) being a little more focused on living math – using everyday situations, using hands on manipulatives, using stories to teach math.  I like my children to record their learning in some way and paste that into a scrapbook (large recycled blank pages, just right for gluing things in).  Jimmie has another squidoo lens on Notebooking Math – very inspiring.  I love her lenses.  While we are at it, here is a link to her Bible Notebooking lens.

Answers in Genesis have some of their books online (some have been condensed to booklets).  I particularly like 7C’s which is a curriculum I have used with my children but it was so intense.  I like this simplified version for free here online (pdf).
