Common Core is unconstitutional. The rights of schools, religion, etc. belongs to the states to decide not federal government. The federal government has the right to maintain the post roads, protect our borders, and commerce between states only. Schools, religion, health care, and everything...
We need to keep fighting against common core and not give up. Our children's future is at stake. Common Core is a program to get our children to conform to what the government wants and takes away our children's creativity and natural curiosity. You know a program is not good if the teachers...

Our wonderful governor signed cc into law in our state but I heard today the Chicago Teacher's Union is against it. Most unions are for it so if this is true hopefully we can get it out. Most the teachers I know are against it and can't make sense of it. My girls are both in special ed. I am...
Yesterday was Jean-Thomas Day. I miss his hugs and our play together. I miss David coming in the door and going to help dad in the fields or to help me make a garden or build something. I miss him coming in and teaching me what he is learning at school. Yet I know my boys are not lost but are...
How do you tell which chicks are cockrels and which are pullets? I've been watching them and they seem like all animals. They each develop their own personality. We know our 6 older ones are pullets. So far only one is named. The biggest girl is Walenda. She likes to sit on the edge of things...
We have babies. We have 6 pullets that we bought from Royal King. They are about 6 weeks old I think. We have 25 straight run babies that came in the mail on Monday. They are about 6 days old. They are Buff Orpingtons. They are all getting along great and like their new house. How do you tell...
My children go to public school but I also home school. I teach history by teaching them our own family history. There are plenty of good books to use for teaching language arts and other subjects. My girls love the Magic Tree House series by Mary Pope Osborn. It encourages exploration and...
Common Core from what I've seen of it and from what many of the teachers have said is NO GOOD. Illinois has adopted it and all the kids and most of the teachers in our area hate what little they have gotten so far. My daughters teachers are keeping their books and teaching as little of common...
We all have two things in common, birds and we are all Heavenly Father's children, therefore we are brothers and sisters. Father loves us and watches over us no matter what our faith. Here there is love which is most important and all help one another. As for our faith we are of the Church of...
We have 5 children. May 6th is Jean-Thomas Day. He is our middle child and our little angel making music in Heaven. He was born so tiny 6 May 1994 so small and tiny to walk on earth for 6 1/2 years. He is an angel that was here to teach Heavenly Father's love and of the beauty that surrounds...
Thank you for your kind welcome. I looked at the oppingtons. They are pretty. It says they are great in cold winters but how do they handle hot summers? We have both. This winter was so cold our pond froze over solid. Our summer can get up in the high 90s.
