Regalia Academy: 'Twas the Night Before Homeschool
http://regaliaacademy.blogspot.com/2011/08/twas-night-before-homeschool.html
Sunday, August 7, 2011. Twas the Night Before Homeschool. Twas the night before homeschool's first day of the year;. All of the boxes of books had appeared,. Exciting the children so they hardly could sleep -. They would have gladly began school last. Dad is oblivious - he hasn't a clue. How many things I. Have yet left to do -. To make sure the day's special, the best it can be,. For a girl starting preschool and one in grade three. Tradition mandates that I must create. I must be out of my head. Becaus...

Regalia Academy: 2nd Week of School
http://regaliaacademy.blogspot.com/2011/08/2nd-week-of-school.html
Tuesday, August 23, 2011. 2nd Week of School. The rest of our first week of school went much more smoothly than the first day. On the second day of school, Milly sounded out three letters and put them together to officially read her first words (hen, peg, bat, etc.) Needless to say, I was such. It only occurred to me later that she actually read her first words even earlier than Rachael did.maybe I'll have a second bookworm? I can only hope! Onlyflexibility can go wrong in a hurry. On Monday, I babysat f...

Regalia Academy: May 2010
http://regaliaacademy.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 12, 2010. Of the attention, and she wants it now. Tonight, I was talking with Gene and mentioned that I'd be starting preschool* with Milly this fall. She was standing nearby and obviously overheard our conversation, and pondered it for a bit. About ten minutes later, she came to find me in the kitchen while I was making supper. Milly: Me do school now? Me: Yes, you can start doing preschool soon. Got another clever one on my hands! School with her is going to be fun! I suppose it is becau...

Regalia Academy: August 2010
http://regaliaacademy.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 23, 2010. Day #1 = Success! Well, the big day came and went - and we had a fantastic. First day of school! The girls were up absurdly early this morning because they were so excited to get started. Each of them found a sign at her place on the kitchen table this morning, and they got right to work coloring them while I made breakfast. Afterward, we went outside for our annual first day of school pictures. I still. Just can't believe that my Rachael is a second. My thoughtful little girl.

Regalia Academy: March 2010
http://regaliaacademy.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 22, 2010. Since I'm currently being screamed at by an angry toddler who wants absolutely nothing. That I have to offer, I figured it was as good a time as any to update the homeschool blog - since we're between lessons until the tantrum subsides anyway. :). She's still plugging along with math, too. We're working in the Math-U-See Beta book now (their equivalent of second grade.) She's doing quite well with it, but just plain doesn't like math. Thank goodness for so many online ...The Organ...

http://regaliaacademy.blogspot.com/2011/08/1st-day-of-school.html
Friday, August 19, 2011. 1st Day of School. Now that the first two weeks of school are behind us.I'm finally finding time to blog about the first. Yes, it has been that hectic.but next week promises to be more calm. Good thing too, since we're already a little behind where I'd planned to be. And on the right for my big ( holy cow, how is she in THIRD GRADE? Rachael ran out of steam on the last line of her sign, penciling in a conversation that the letters were having with each other instead of actually c...

Regalia Academy: Getting ready...
http://regaliaacademy.blogspot.com/2011/08/getting-ready.html
Tuesday, August 2, 2011. The books are all ordered and should be here soon. I've stocked up on more notebook paper, pencils, glue and crayons than should be allowed. I've assessed the inventory of homeschool detritus hiding in the cellar and only have a few more small items to pick up before school starts on Monday. I haven't cleaned off the full-to-overflowing bookcase in the kitchen yet, but hey, I have time. Haven't heard of workboxes? Well, here's a blog. I numbered the drawers this evening, but need...

Regalia Academy: February 2010
http://regaliaacademy.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 22, 2010. Originally posted on January 4, 2010. As promised when I first began this blog, I have been spectacularly craptastic about keeping it updated. New year, new attempt at keeping it at least somewhat regularly updated. We'll be starting all new things before long, as Rachael is just two lessons away from finishing. Her math book - the one that we only started in September! The first meeting of the new year is tonight, and we'll be kicking off the COOKIE DRIVE! So, there's our new ...
