Biology

This...

is a really hard book.  And this is coming from a mom who likes science, a lot.  It is engaging and has a great way of explaining the topic.  Now, for Becca, she is not enjoying it quite so much.  It is almost stretching her to the breaking point, and I think we are going to have to take a step back and determine how much we can (realistically) get through each week to keep pace with the co-op class.  Otherwise, I think we will both pull out all of our hair!

Becca Biologist...

on a mission to study pond life and collect pond water to culture (four different ways).  She really enjoyed this field trip and is very enthusiastic about the co-op biology class.

A Prayer, Please...

as Becca begins her first day at the homeschool high school co-op.  She has not been in a classroom setting for a long time, and I'm a bit nervous as to how this is going to go.  The teachers seem open to having her, Down syndrome and all, and hopefully the other teens will be as welcoming.  Becca is taking Biology, American Government & Economics, and Art.  She will also be there for a study hall period and lunch.  It's a big chunk of time for her to maneuver, in addition to the academic challenge.  It will be a huge learning experience for all involved, of that I am sure.  Love you, Becca...and have a great day at co-op!
