Coming of Age Ceremonies
by Erin Chianese
I've been transferring photographs from the supposed nasty, acid-filled, photo-eating albums of cellophane and sticky paperboard to the acclaimed safety of the pristine, modern, expensive scrapbooks. I am relieved of the boredom of this tedious task by the darling photos themselves. I'm reliving the days of drooping diapers on my cute pudgy babies. I want to hug my kiddos as I cut and paste photos of them: my older daughter screeching with delight on her first trike, my younger daughter so confident in her walking abilities that she is tromping around in daddy's huge tennis shoes. We all have sweet memories of our kiddos taking their first steps, saying a first word, losing a first tooth, and, lucky homeschoolers that we are, reading a first book.

by Glenda Lehman Ervin of Lehman's Hardware

1) an emergency preparedness kit, including a three-day supply of food and water
2) an emergency plan so you can locate all family members
3) the ability to get accurate information quickly
Some disasters, however, exceed our ability to respond, no matter how much preparation goes into them. Some are sufficiently inconceivable that it's just not rational to prepare.

How much math can be learned by folding one circle in half?
A year ago I counted over one hundred and twenty individual math functions and relationships by observing what is revealed in folding one paper plate circle in half. This information is accessible to anyone through observation and thinking about what they are doing. The information is in what we do, not what we have done, not by learning what others have done. This can be initiated at first grade level and is relevance to all subsequent years of math education. I am close to finishing 90 pages that walk through this process.
