Until the shop office is built, and then I'll move most of it there. I really just pulled out everything DD4 will use and DD13 might use and put them on a small bookshelf. It looks very organized and nice. For now. I should take a picture.

DS13 is leaning hard toward homeschooling again. I am making him go visit the public school two days this month. I want him to make the decision carefully because he's a very stubborn one, and if he's feeling like he was forced into it, he will make things very miserable for both of us.

I filled his shelf with an Algebra book, a language text, 3 science texts (life, physical, and earth), a world civilization text (all of these were free publisher's samples), a Berlitz French kit, and several classic novels (Tom Saywer, Journey to the Center of the Earth, Treasure Island, Gulliver's Travels, The Wizard of Oz, The Sword in the Stone, Johnny Tremain...). Not that we'll necessarily use all of it, but it's there. He's already been picking through it.

For DD I have folders of phonics games, story tapes, Saxon math, a bin of manipulatives, lots of art supplies, some computer games, and some phonics readers. I also made her a "carschooling" folder with her favorite-worksheets (mostly logic and thinking skills stuff) and a few science readers with great pictures and put more story tapes in the van.

Got to go now and read more Fairytales to her-she's obsessed!!
