ALICE in WONDERLAND- BEST PLAY/MOVIE/BOOK EVER

Alice in Wonderland

This book is an inspiration to us all. You can learn so much!! It is full of wisdom! Enjoy Lewis Carroll's genius work! Some of it is from the Looking Glass book
(Red is the quote and black is my interpretation)
“I can't go back to yesterday because I was a different person then.” 
and
“I know who I WAS when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then” 
Sometimes people change and it is ok to move on from your past. You don't have to be like that forever. Be the person you and God want you to be.

“Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?"
"That depends a good deal on where you want to get to."
"I don't much care where –"

"Then it doesn't matter which way you go.”

Self explanatory

“Who in the world am I? Ah, that's the great puzzle.” 

It is hard to figure out who you are and where you wanna go with your life.

“I don't think..." then you shouldn't talk, said the Hatter.” 

Think before you speak

“If everybody minded their own business the world would go around a great deal faster than it does.” 

“Do you know, I always thought unicorns were fabulous monsters, too? I never saw one alive before!"
Well, now that we have seen each other," said the unicorn, "if you'll believe in me, I'll believe in you.” 

“I'm not strange, weird, off, nor crazy, my reality is just different from yours.” 

There is no such thing as weird

“have I gone mad?
I'm afraid so, but let me tell you something, the best people usually are.” 
Best quote ever... True on so many levels. 

Homeschooling for Troubled Spellers

All-About-Reading is a curriculum that helps with reading and spelling. If you insist on sticking to books:) It is a great program and it helps us not so wonderful spellers. Can I get an Amen for Spell-Check?!*AMEN*... Wow I really need to get a life and stop talking to myself. I am a little mad(crazy)As Alice and Wonderland states...
Alice: But I don't want to go among mad people.
The Cat: Oh, you can't help that. We're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.
Alice: How do you know I'm mad?
The Cat: You must be. Or you wouldn't have come here.

This is seriously the best play ever. It has inspired me to read. I LOVE reading it is wonderful. Have your kids enjoy reading and spelling by this curriculum if you insist by staying by the books.

Transform Homeschooling with 10 Simple Items

1. A work space that can assist you in changing the WORLD   Uhh maybe not this expensive! But if you have access to a cubical desk for cheap it is great! You can(with permission) decorate it and change the chair to something amazing that your rear end will love! A yoga ball is amazing and bouncy but a spinney chair is great too!! Get a cheap bookshelf to hold your stuff and screw it to the side and it is fantastic!

      

2.Something on your desk to help you in those moments that you would rather stare at a brick wall then do. Maybe you can get a beta fish, something sparkly, a really funny intense picture, a thought provoking quote, mini white board($1), something that moves, Newtons cradle, etc. 

3. Playlist that with kick-A-Donkey great songs! Some websites that you can do that is Playlist.com( duh), grooveshark.com(my favorite!), iHeartRadio.com, and there is a million more. Personally, stay away from Pandora, it is WAY overrated! 

4. Whiteboard! Whiteboards are great for everything! If you want to make a huuggeee white board, Walmart has paint for whiteboards and Chalkboards! Little white boards like this cute owl are perfect too! Spoil yourself and get your favorite color marker, you deserve it!

5. Timer or Stop Watch depending on how you homeschool. If you have to do a subject a certain amount of time it is great to know the second you can be done(if you don't like that subject) or you can use the stop watch to figure out how many extra hours to put down on your transcript!
 
6.  Paint. When mommy needs a time out or when Kiddo needs a brain break. I don't know a kid who doesn't like to paint. Have them do the activity  "Paint To Art".
(Ok seriously who made this for me?!)
7.  Binder with dividers. Put loose leaf pieces of papers in a divided binder to keep organized! Have a section for each subject. Decorate it with all your favorite pictures!

8. Sharpies and Highlighters. Sharpies are great for labeling every object you own. Highlighters are a must fir tests, essays, and pretty much everything that sharpies can't do.(btw haven't found anything sharpies and duct tape can't fix)

9. Binder clips and Paper Clips. Great for organizing essays, papers that are due, tasks for today etc. Also, are great to make bored bracelets. You will understand when the time comes young Jedi.

10. STICKY NOTES. Great for remembering your mom wants you to do. Recording your hours for the day, quick notes, and special words for the game Word Kingdom(Best game ever!! Word Kingdom)
