<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Aloha friends!</span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It's been awhile since I've posted about kickball meetups! This is probably because I put up the <a href="http://easthawaiihomeschool.blogspot.com/2013/05/summer-kickball-schedule.html">summer schedule </a>, which seemed good enough, but now I'm thinking we need a reminder revival! I was also thinking we might even need a Tuesday-game revival! </span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">(</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i>revival--an instance of something becoming popular, active, or important again. </i></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i>------Websters online Dictionary</i></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">)</span></li>
</ul>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">We've been playing kickball every week since January 22, 2013, which makes an amazing 6 months of super-Tuesday kickball! Yaya!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> Is anyone sick of it yet?</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> Anyone? </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The keiki don't seem to be! Plus more and more kids keep on coming! H</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">owever,</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> I feel we could use something novel to keep our motivation going...or at least mine..... haha.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Let me know if you would like to take over any one of these Tuesday dates below. You could volunteer to run any sports, games or activities of your choice. We will be there to support you in your efforts as you share your talents with our homeschool community. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The kickball games have been about 45 mins to an hour, with the rest of the time for free play, eating lunch, and hanging out, just to give you an idea of what we've been doing.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Mahalo! Let me know what dates you'd like to take! All others will be...kickball!</span><br />

Come one and all for homeschool kickball tomorrow at Kea'au Shipman Park! We'll be meeting as usual at 10am for the kickball game, then of course feel free to hang out afterwards for free play and socialization!</div>
Kickball Rules are <a href="http://easthawaiihomeschool.blogspot.com/2013/03/kickball-march-19-rules-for-kickball.html">here.</a><br />
<br />
One happy homeschool parent mentioned to me several weeks ago how refreshing it is to come to kickball and laugh! It's true- there is a lot of laughter and smiles at kickball. The feeling among the kids and among the parents that participate is joyful, lighthearted, and positive. There isn't any pressure for the kids to perform or compete on the field. The older kids are patient and understanding with the littler ones. The ones who have played 50 times are patient and helpful to the ones who are just starting out. The kids get along. The parents cheer them on and lend a hand where needed. This is a good group of people that I feel blessed to associate with.<br />
I am looking forward to kickball tomorrow so I laugh and feel the positive energy from all of you.<br />
<br />
See you tomorrow friends!<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times; font-style: normal;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #351c75;">Welcome to the new "A Day in the Life" series! This weekly string of blog posts feature individuals or families here on the Big Island, describing what "a day in the life" (or a week!) of a homeschooler is like. This weeks post is by Hannah Bader of Mountain View. </span></span></i></span></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></u></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">A Day in the Life of the Bader's</span></u></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">So, I’m a home school mama of three boys, ages 4, 6, and 8,
that moonlights as a concert promoter. I’m actually super private (normally)
but when people from either of my polar opposite worlds do find out about the
other co-existing life that I live the common response is, <i>“How do you do all
that?!?!?” </i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxBdsvrOYPDWxreuXPGmTEPskfbN2ILRw4cKgBEFwmUcyMaZs37fkPLITgQSfzGzuTh8WZFR6tg5qmrvy4BL_F0UXQZmpZrdmHQ-JUJErrygnnxfDobqdUWUOp4LbkLKattxZ4auvqmOU/s1600/IMG_0803.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxBdsvrOYPDWxreuXPGmTEPskfbN2ILRw4cKgBEFwmUcyMaZs37fkPLITgQSfzGzuTh8WZFR6tg5qmrvy4BL_F0UXQZmpZrdmHQ-JUJErrygnnxfDobqdUWUOp4LbkLKattxZ4auvqmOU/s400/IMG_0803.JPG" width="300" /></a></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It’s tempting to share a perfect day in our homeschool life
but really since they’re few and far between I’ll just attempt to give a
glimpse into the juggling act that fills our daily lives here in the Bader
home. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I’m the first one out of bed and most school days steel cut
oats get cooked in the rice cooker for breakfast. The quiet early morning is
either time for me to work, if I’ve got a show going, or it’s my sweet time of
fellowship with God. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The boys rule KP duty. Moose, as Ace (4) is affectionately
known, rocks unloading the dishwasher. This chore usually has him in the
kitchen alone before we sit down for meals and accomplishes the main goal of
freeing him up to sit down at the table with me while Zane and Sage clean up
the kitchen after breakfast. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Ace and I get a good 15-20 minutes alone together to go over
his phonics / reading (<a href="http://www.mfwbooks.com/products/M50/20/0/0/1">My Father’s World Kindergarten</a>), Math (<a href="http://www.hmhco.com/shop/education-curriculum/math/math-in-focus-singapore-math#sthash.HpiVUqdX.dpbs">Math In Focus</a> – a
Singapore Math program), and some really fun books from <a href="http://www.criticalthinking.com/index.jsp">Critical Thinking Co. </a></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">When Zane (3</span><sup><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">rd</span></sup><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> grade) and Sage (1</span><sup><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">st</span></sup><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> grade)
come in we do our spiritual reading all together. Then we go back and forth
with balancing things they can do on their own with things that need personal
attention for each boy. At this point Moose keeps himself busy with a variety
of different things.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">We love <a href="http://www.mfwbooks.com/">My Father’s World (MFW) </a>as the core curriculum. It
is designed to be able to teach children grades 2-8 together in the core
subjects. This year our focus is “Exploring Countries and Cultures” and it’s
been really fun! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0gUT6nOl1eD6qGasBRnLLTy-KNo83qFLEBCZTVXl6CcaZ9ClOa7glk0a4vqsLlAvLq5hCvYkSwvUOe_rseOOjUxpfiGU0fN6wtr1Ow4-qXh4kkNuiBiIO7bCymi1Q9pPE_sCVoNKvHms/s1600/IMG_0443.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0gUT6nOl1eD6qGasBRnLLTy-KNo83qFLEBCZTVXl6CcaZ9ClOa7glk0a4vqsLlAvLq5hCvYkSwvUOe_rseOOjUxpfiGU0fN6wtr1Ow4-qXh4kkNuiBiIO7bCymi1Q9pPE_sCVoNKvHms/s400/IMG_0443.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times;"></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">We do geography, science, art, history and handwriting
practice - even though it’s dated – a couple of times a week. Math (<a href="http://www.hmhco.com/shop/education-curriculum/math/math-in-focus-singapore-math#sthash.KcTvNP9S.dpbs">Math in Focus</a>), spelling (<a href="http://www.spellingpower.com/">Spelling Power</a>) and language arts (<a href="http://cathyduffyreviews.com/grammar-composition/primary-language-lessons.htm">Primary Language Lessons</a> –
this is really a great program!) happen every day. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">We’re good at the table for about an hour and a half to two
hours then we break to get “yaw-yaws” out. (Whatever did we do before the
trampoline!?!?!?) And, of course, the boys are starving already so there’s
snack too. After our break we get back together to do hands on things like
learning games, read aloud books on our weekly theme, or art. If I was a really
brave I would throw in some science experiments at this time but after so many
failed attempts I’ve lost my nerve and the experiments lay there as merely good
ideas in my teacher’s manual.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaoU_DeMPO1MRN73VvsMS8XoKzUZSzwNtsxcFkytvARHbC9MIm8sGtK0DehKaVBQJD6iij-o-U1x1reD9peyP-0iVYebOFvdAbIZ2q2mNqm8bRxfHd1CrAQQHRYZMItsHWXKYaVG59bh4/s1600/IMG_0811.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaoU_DeMPO1MRN73VvsMS8XoKzUZSzwNtsxcFkytvARHbC9MIm8sGtK0DehKaVBQJD6iij-o-U1x1reD9peyP-0iVYebOFvdAbIZ2q2mNqm8bRxfHd1CrAQQHRYZMItsHWXKYaVG59bh4/s400/IMG_0811.JPG" width="300" /></a></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">If I’ve got a show I’m working on I go to work for a bit
during our break. If I’m really busy I work through breakfast then break for
school. Afterwards I’ll work for a couple of hours and the boys make lunch for
us all. This grew from necessity and at first I felt really bad, but now I’ve
changed my mind and think it’s good that they can help in a meaningful way like
preparing meals.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><a href="http://www.mfwbooks.com/">MFW</a> has everything scheduled out with daily lesson plans. I
can sit down grab my teacher’s manual and go each morning. My main prep has to
do with ordering a TON of books from the library to go along with the topics
that we’re studying. MFW is a unit studies / Charlotte Mason-based program so
we do LOTS of reading. Friday is our library day. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">In addition to our “table time” the boys have a couple of
other things that they do daily and are at the liberty to do whenever it fits
in their day. 1) 20 minutes of reading – they actually set a timer and sit
together to do this 2) Spanish on the computer (<a href="http://www.rosettastone.com/">Rosetta Stone</a>) 3) 1/2 hour of
working on their business. This was a mutual goal that they set. If you’re
interested you can check out what they’re working on here: <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/BaderBoysAtoZ">http://www.etsy.com/shop/BaderBoysAtoZ</a></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

schedule for holiday brea<a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=2005759272155799751" name="_GoBack"></a>ks or even when I think we’ll
wrap up a “school year”. We have to keep this kind of on-going schedule
because, I have to be honest, there are days when I get really busy with work
- I go to make a couple of calls
before starting school, end up at my desk all day, and cooking dinner in my
PJs.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Slight digression for a funny story, also involving PJs…
There was one time, shortly after Sage, our second son, was born that I showed
up for an important business meeting 15 minutes late. I didn’t realize until I
was walking in the building that I was still in my jammies. That never would
have happened to me before I had kids, no way, not the 15 minutes late part and
certainly not the PJ factor. But you know what, we signed the contract anyway and
no one said anything to me about being “under dressed” for the occasion. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It is a lot to juggle but it’s a tremendous blessing that I
wouldn’t trade for anything in the world. The messy real-life that fills our
home is teaching them too. We never strive to create “school-at-home.” The
three “R’s” are really basic and all of our kids are bound to master these
skills. The far reaching blessing that is homeschooling lies beyond the basics
– it unfolds as we encourage our children to fill their minds with exploration,
to ask questions, and to dig deeper for themselves - because they care, because
they want to, and because they can. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This sweet, special time with our keiki is priceless. I
continually remind myself not to get hung up on the specific “hows”, on finding
the right programs, or measuring “results.” We homeschool for the big picture
for the vision of launching our children into their lives with a joy-filled
youth under their belts and a true hunger for lifelong learning. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">If I find myself overwhelmed by either juggling too much or
the monotony of running our home and school I remind myself that the true big
picture is that this precious season in our lives together is but a blink in
time. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #351c75;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Thank you Hannah for blessing us with an slice of your family life! It looks like you have some busy and happy boys, with a caring and dedicated mother! </span></span></i><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">A new 3D planetarium show has come to <a href="http://www.imiloahawaii.org/">Imiloa Astronomy Center</a>, called ASTRONAUT. Description is as follows: </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Imiloa Astronomy Center is located right here in Hilo. It is an excellent resource for homschooling families looking to expand their knowledge of the universe! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">You can purchase a family membership for 2 adults and up to 5 keiki for 85 dollars per year. Many families testify that it has been well worth the money, as they are able to frequently attend the many planetarium shows, workshops, exhibits and special events all year long.</span></div>

We'll be meeting again at Keaau Shipman Park at 10am for kickball! Please come and join us for a fun morning of non-competitive sport for the keiki. Focus is on learning new skills, teamwork, and having fun!</div>
Furthermore, our Tuesday kickball games have become much <i>more than kickball</i>, as many families have come to socialize and talk story, too! Weather the kids choose to play on the kickball field or on the jungle gym, families have fun playing, talking and getting to know one another.<br />
<br />

It also might be helpful to know that since we don't have a kickball diamond reserved, and all the others are usually taken, we've been making our own diamond right next to the playground! That way kids can choose to either play kickball or climb on the gym.<br />
There is a big shelter, bathrooms, and plenty of places to sit and eat- Bring a lunch and join us for the morning/afternoon.<br />
Hope to see you there!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2005759272155799751.post-36476183585066742342013-04-06T11:33:00.000-07:002013-04-12T12:31:11.603-07:00Our Experience with MBTA<!--StartFragment-->

This weekly string of blog posts will feature individuals or families here on the Big Island, describing what "a day in the life" (or a week!) of a homeschooler is like. This weeks post is by Jamee Adams of Hilo. She and her husband have 3 children, and are generously sharing their experience with using Myron B.

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: Century; font-size: 16.0pt;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: ArialMT;">Our family has been
using MBTA for only one year, so I may not be the best reference, but I'm happy
to share some of the things that work well for us. My experience is only
based on the elementary school, as I do not yet have intermediate-aged children.
I chose to use MBTA for the allotment, and because I have full control over the
curriculum I use in my home-school.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: ArialMT;">MBTA is a public charter
school located on Oahu. For Oahu families, MBTA offers face-to-face and online
classes, but for outer island residents, web-cam classes are the only
option. Each child enrolled in the program (K-6) is granted a $1500
allotment that can be used for books, curriculum, art supplies, private or team
lessons, and a large variety of other resources. Each child is required to
complete 2 web-cam classes each month, submit homework for those classes, and
submit a portfolio of home-school projects each quarter.</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: ArialMT;">In a nutshell:</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: ArialMT;">
$1500 per child allotment. Some of the things I have purchased / utilized from
our allotment:</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

supplies (googly eyes, feathers, pipe cleaners…) construction paper,
cardstock, stickers, glue, educational coloring books, Rosetta Stone

I use this for things that I know I will have to return anyway. If they have it
in the library, then it’s less money from my MBTA account to check it out and
have it sent to me than it is to order it new, and still have to turn it into
the library at the end of the school year.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: ArialMT;"> </span></li>
</ul>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: ArialMT;"> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: ArialMT;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: ArialMT;">The online classes are generally good. I like all the teachers my children have had, and I find the subject matter to be level-appropriate and interesting. I don't love having online classes, but only two classes a month is worth the allotment that we have access to. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: ArialMT;"><u>You will need to have a computer (obviously) and a good headset with a microphone.</u></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: ArialMT;">MBTA’s web portal is decent. I think it could be more
user-friendly but it seems that they are making improvements. Any time that we
have missed a class due to technical problems, the teachers have been flexible
and the phone technical support has been very helpful. Once your child is
enrolled, you will get information from the school on how to login to classes.
We found over time that getting online for the class itself works best with
Chrome because the web-conferencing software they use seems more compatible with
Chrome (as opposed to Firefox and Explorer.) Otherwise, regular access to the
school site is fine on any browser. </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: ArialMT;"><u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">Some things to keep in mind:</span></u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: ArialMT;">*You have to use all of
your allotment by Halloween (Oct 31st), so you need to have your plan in place
for the resources you will need all year. If you don't use all of your
allotment on physical resources by Oct 31st, you can still use that money
throughout the year for lessons and classes. Just be aware that you can't
purchase any more supplies once the Halloween due date is past. </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: ArialMT;">
*Homework is due after every class, which may be an adjustment for families
used to managing their own due dates. </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: ArialMT;">·
*Portfolios are due every quarter. Each child has to turn in 2 samples
from each of the 4 core subjects (math, science, language arts, social
studies), totaling 8 samples. If you have several children, you’ll need to plan
ahead to get it all in. Take lots of photos since they can be used to show
science experiments, activities and progress for younger children.</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: ArialMT;">
*If you live off-island, <u style="text-underline: #454545;">you will need to
have access to a good scanner,</u> since you will need to scan your child's
homework and portfolios and then send them via e-mail or upload to their
portal. I suppose you could snail mail everything directly to the teacher - I
never tried it - but you'd have to set that up with the teacher ahead of time. </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: ArialMT;">·
*Like any other publicly-funded institution, there seems to be a fair amount of
paperwork to get your child enrolled, to prove your child is actually doing
something at home, and to make certain that your child is passing all the HSA
required testing. Just be prepared to make time in your schedule for the
necessary secretarial duties.</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: ArialMT;">Overall, we have been
satisfied with our choice to use MBTA. It has required some flexibility and
adjustment, but we’ve enjoyed our experience this year. </span><span style="font-family: Helvetica;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #351c75;">Thank you so much Jamee for your insights and experience in using MBTA for your family.

<div style="line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I've had the opportunity to be homeschooled my whole life. This has helped me so much in my growth and has shaped me into who I am today.<br />It's hard to pinpoint what a day was like in my home school because most days were different; We went with whatever worked best for us that day. With a huge family like mine It was hard to set strict schedules. But my overall home school experience was Rockin Awesome! I am so grateful for my Mom and her patience and choice to home school us.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">My home school days usually consisted with a devotional in the mornings with my mom; which meant opening song, prayer, and a chapter from whatever book my mom had chosen for that month (or until we finished it). Then we would get our daily assignment of homework. Which included the basics:</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> Math- We would have worksheets, and then me and my sister Lia would get together and do flashcards. My mom would test us on Fridays and check out our progress.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> Reading and Writing-We were assigned a reading book and we would have to read a chapter a day and write a report about what we read. We were also required to find ten words out of a dictionary and practice them all week. We had spelling and vocabulary tests on Friday.</span></li>
</ul>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 17px;">After the basics were done we were able to focus on what we wanted to learn. Me and my sister were able to go to hula class and work on </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 17px;">Personal Progress</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 17px;">, which was a program our church developed.</span><br />
<div style="line-height: 17px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 10px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Home school was such a good experience for me. I liked it so much better than regular school because I was able to learn what worked best for me and there was no such thing as bad grades. We had to do it until we got it right, which made it possible for me to actually know and memorize the things I needed like multiplication and formulas for figuring out fractions and other tough problems.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It also wasn't just about school work. My mom would put us to work in the home doing chores and teaching us to cook and to care for kids. We were required to work on character as well. Every now and then my mom would have us pick someone we admired and we had to choose a quality that they had that we wanted to develop in ourselves and we would work on it for a few weeks.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I think that's one of the things I love most about home school even if we hadn't been assigned to develop quality traits, home school builds good character. We don't have all that negative peer pressure everyday and we are able to work in an uplifting environment surrounded by family. Home school also helped me build stronger relationships with my family members, they were my closest friends and my parents were always there for me to help me through whatever problems I had.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I'm now starting a new chapter in my life by going off to college. I know the college experience is going to be way different from what I'm used to but I know that home school has helped me to fully prepare. I have obtained a love of learning. I am preparing to get a degree in Elementary Education. Because of the foundation and the strong relationships with my family that I've built during my home school experience, I know I can stick it out no matter how hard. I know I have their support and love which gives me confidence that this will be a great and exciting endeavor.</span></span></span><br />
