Not as yours did...but the dumb worms just sat on top of the soil, never dug into it...and so, of course, DIED within a couple of days! We even put more soil over them the second day, thinking that would help...and the dorks just crawled out on top! Sigh. But at least it wasn't like your experience... :^)Tina Hollenbeckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13694089806217921117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32922763.post-20819065386117926952010-08-10T04:51:03.442-05:002010-08-10T04:51:03.442-05:00I love the globe/orange/map!

I like your realistic portrayal of school, complete with fights! :) I love seeing how other people do school!

I think you'll continue to love it, too...though, I have to admit I'm a little concerned about the worms based on what you've said. I've stretched out the first two weeks over three so we'll do that on Monday. But is it really going to be gross? :^)Tina Hollenbeckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13694089806217921117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32922763.post-49552290417755399542010-08-07T15:29:58.700-05:002010-08-07T15:29:58.700-05:00I've heard really good things about My Father&...I've heard really good things about My Father's World - it sounds like it is a good fit for your family. We used a virtual academy for the very first year we homeschooled but left for very similar reasons. We had a great experience with it but I wanted more flexibility - particularly to do some studies together.<br /><br />Sounds like a great and educational week!<br /><br />SamanthaSamanthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12173981103532311125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32922763.post-53974223138680579572010-08-07T14:46:19.868-05:002010-08-07T14:46:19.868-05:00School sounds very cool!
