PeachTeach: Reading Matters
http://peachteacher.blogspot.com/2008/03/reading-matters.html
Wednesday, March 26, 2008. Susie likes to have me read the books that she’s reading so we can discuss them. Problem is, she now reads MUCH too fast for me to keep up, so she just fills me in on the gist of the story and we discuss the themes (totalitarian government in Haddox’s Shadow Children series; synesthesia in. A Mango Shaped Space. For an idea of a "few" of the books Susie has read recently, check out her bookshelf on her blog:. Http:/ shoodalways.blogspot.com/. The Tightwad Gazette III. I am a re...

PeachTeach: November 2007
http://peachteacher.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 30, 2007. Despedidos Y Saludos (Farewells and Greetings). I had lofty plans that we would raise our kids to be fluent in both languages: I would speak Spanish to them; Andy would speak English. Once Westin was born, however, the demands of parenting a newborn overshadowed my bilingual ambition. I quickly reverted to my native English for daily conversation. Stephanie - did you notice my semicolons? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Despedidos Y Saludos (Farewells and Greetings).

PeachTeach: Bay Area Homeschool Field Trips
http://peachteacher.blogspot.com/2008/01/bay-area-homeschool-field-trips.html
Monday, January 28, 2008. Bay Area Homeschool Field Trips. This is an article I wrote for the August '05 issue of California HomeSchooler magazine, the bimonthly publication of the Homeschool Association of California. The tidepool hike, Children's Musical Theater's "Seussical" performance, and a tour of the Jelly Belly Factory in Fairfield topped the list for my 11-year-old daughter, along with a visit to San Rafael's Guide Dogs Training Facility.

PeachTeach: March 2008
http://peachteacher.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, March 26, 2008. Living in community is great. Some people worry that homeschooling families are too isolated. My experience has been just the opposite: homeschooling families are MORE interconnected with a large community of other families, who are eager to meet needs as they arrive . I want to take a few moments to reflect on this and the practical blessings we've received and given. Others also wanted to know how they could bless us, but our practical needs were more than covered! Susie like...

http://peachteacher.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 9, 2008. This is the first June in many years that we have not attended any relative or friend's graduation. Drawing from some of the most pivotal points in his life, Steve Jobs, chief executive officer and co-founder of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, urged Stanford University graduates to pursue their dreams and see the opportunities in life's setbacks—including death itself—at the university's 114th Commencement on Sunday June 12, 2005 in Stanford Stadium.

http://peachteacher.blogspot.com/2008/01/back-to-school.html
Sunday, January 27, 2008. I have gone back to school! For my Math Instruction class we just had to solve a brain teaser. I found one solution while I was still sitting in class, and at home I found another, which Westin helped me with. Here is the puzzle, in case you're interested:. How do you measure exactly 4 gallons of root beer if the only containers you have are an unlimited vat of root beer, a 3-gallon container, and a 5-gallon container? Why am I taking classes?
