Rose's Birthday

Here are a few photos from the Fairy Tea Party. Rose and four of her friends had a great time. And didn't they all look so lovely!

As something to do, we had the girls make themselves a set of cards with rubber stamps and blank note cards. Then I tied them up with a ribbon as part of their "party favors". They liked it, but didn't yet have much patience to make their five cards.Knowing the girls are pretty "hands-on", we also had them decorate their own mini-heart cakes. They loved dipping into the chocolate icing and sprinkling on all manner of sugars and sprinkles!

George put on his "music teacher" hat for a little cake-time entertainment. All the girls at the party are school friends so they are used to "Mr. Zahn" as their teacher! They all love him, and he of course basks in the attention...

Happy Birthday to our sweetie!

Homeschooling/Unschooling Almost A Year Now

The kids took their annual, required standardized achievement test yesterday. This is the law in Minnesota, homeschoolers have to take the test and keep it in the files at home but we don't have to turn it in to the district or anything, unless there's a problem. It seems reasonable to me. Yesterday's test went well. A friend of mine, a former teacher, does the testing as a business, so the kids are really comfortable with her. She sets up her "office" at the library and devotes about an hour to each kid, using the Peabody Individual Achievement Test . The categories in the Peabody test are General Information (science, social studies, art, etc.); Reading Recognition; Reading Comprehension; Mathematics; Spelling. There are 100 questions per category, though they don't start each child at number 1 but somewhere before/below where they should be at and work up from there. One of my kids , age 9, tests just at or above her grade level. This is great. A confirmat...

On Family Meetings and Chores

ON FAMILY MEETINGS: On Friday night we held our first-ever Zahn Family Meeting. I've always felt that families who hold family meetings are so, well, organized and democratic and all that and we've just never gotten around to them (which speaks to my lack of organization, and probably democratic-ness, too). But on Thursday, after "crabbin' out" at the kids for not helping around the house enough, I decided to call a Family Meeting for the following night. I made the announcement to all, including dear husband, that the meeting would take place at exactly 6:30 p.m. after our Previously Scheduled Family Dinner at exactly 6:00 p.m. Just trying to be organized here... I asked the family members to come up with agenda items. Mine, of course, would be the subject of chores. I also said I would give a Treasurer's Report (a.k.a. "why we haven't paid your allowance since Christmas"). So the appointed hour came and the Meeting commenced. I asked for agenda...
