Happy New Year!

 Welcome back! How has your holiday season been going? Our Christmas day felt rushed for some reason. But Christmas Adam and Christmas Eve sure did drag by. Anytime we end up opening gifts on Christmas Eve, it messes with my perception. Shucks! Any change in such a long-time routine would probably throw anyone for a loop. Look at the mess caused in 2020... Anyway...on to happier things!


Keeping it short this week... we just want to wish you a Happy New Year! May 2022 be better than 2020 and 2021!


2021 Wins

  • Ro discovered she enjoys Geometry
  • Ro is picking up guitar riffs and pounding away at them
  • Shi has been able to get the help she needed...finally
  • We celebrated our son and daughter-in-law buying their first home
  • My parents celebrated 50 years of marriage this year
  • I managed to complete a whole novel -- beginning to end -- during the month of November, which I hadn't ever done before
  • John got a new job which suits him much better
  • We all made some new, awesome friends
  • We survived another round of hurricane season
I think this year had its moments. There were struggles aplenty, but overall, we are blessed to be alive and kicking. I hope you are counting your blessings, too, as we near the end of 2021. I look forward to continuing our educational pursuits in 2022 and seeing where that leads Ro in the next leg of her life journey.

It's Been a While, But Transcripts Are Still Important

 Welcome to our blog! I thought for sure I'd be done blogging about homeschool when our youngest finished her senior year. I might've been wrong!  Note: Before we go any further, you need to know I was asked to write up a review (for pay) of my experience with the website/company I'm sharing with you today. But my comments reflect my actual experience. This is the first time I'm doing this. I make no guarantees. Let's Talk About Transcripts What it is:  a record of your student's courses over the course of their high school career. What it should include: the courses final grades for those courses (either letter or percent) credits earned for the courses GPA each quarter, as well as overall major test scores (if applicable), like ACT, SAT, etc. a grading scale Why your student needs one: Every institution for further education that I know of requires this record before they'll consider your student for enrollment. You Want Me to Send What From Where? Our you...

Welcoming April 2022 at Magniflorious Private Homeschool Academy

 Welcome back! I'm so happy to be able to report our little seedlings, well some of them, have survived and are now planted in a small garden patch outside. Turks Turban Squash looks like it might survive and thrive, but we may have to replant cucumbers, nasturtium flowers, and sunflowers. Hopefully, today's predicted rain will encourage them to perk up. And we also hope to deter whatever animal tried to dig up my hard work yesterday. Y'all! I should've stretched before trying to work in the garden. XD More Curriculum Changes We started the year working on Chemistry with PACE workbooks. Those didn't work so well for Ro's learning perception. So we switched her to a workbook (The World of Chemistry) which allowed her to read sections and answer questions pertaining to shorter sections. There were fewer problems per lesson for her to solve. This made it less overwhelming for her.  To sum up: If the curriculum you chose for your student isn't working, don't...

A New Season is Here!

 Yep. It's time for another blog post. And even though I knew it was coming, I'm late posting it anyway. Will I ever be on time? *sigh*  via GIPHY Our Crazy Year So Far My hope was to have this prepped, ready to go by yesterday evening. Here's the rundown of what's been happening in our family since the turn of the new year.  First week of January - husband gets laid off from most lucrative job he's ever had Within days - oldest daughter is in her first major wreck (as a passenger and while far enough away from home we couldn't actually get there to be with her...thankfully, she and her friends were ok after some time had passed) The next week - hitherto unplanned trip to visit with family who are close to where oldest daughter is staying so we can pick her up when she's ready to come home the next week - pick up oldest daughter and head home the following day First week of February - husband surrenders to the ministry The very next morning - we learn husban...
