First reading lesson

I just got my new book, Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons, and started with lesson number one. Philip was so proud and happy he could do the exercises easily. He learned to say mmmm instead of m, and ssss instead of s. The program teaches the kids to say letters the way they sound. They begin very basic, and build lesson after lesson. I'm really excited. So is Philip! I will be honest with you, I wish I could teach him at home. It is so hard to send him to an over crowded class room where I know his worth is destroyed every day. He can learn. He just needs more help then a "normal" child. He is so proud when he learns. I wish Germany would allow me to keep him home, but they don't allow it! Please pray God gives us wisdom about what would be best (or the next best thing). I see no good answers, but I am not about to stop looking. Ask and you will receive, seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened! I am so proud of Philip! He will learn.

I'm so excited you finally got the book! Please keep us posted on Phillip's reading! I also hope to hear you've found the perfect school soon! I got to where I would do two reading lessons a day after my son got the hang of it. If it gets too hard, you can do the same lesson morning and evening. Good luck!

chicken coop idea

Why not start with an IBC and cut a hole for the door? You could build closed laying boxes into it, and something for the chickens to roost on. Put some straw or saw dust on the floor. You could add vents to the side for air. If it sat inside a chicken run that you can walk into, the chickens could be safe, dry and happy. I have an extra IBC. Maybe this could be my chicken house? I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.

The Opel Agilia

I think I don't want to spend the money for the VW New Beetle. It's a very cute and safe car, but cost about 17,000Euros new. I can find it for 13,000Euros (this is the most basic model) but that's more then I would want to spend. I don't really drive that much. I'm pretty cheep at heart. I need real value for my money. I keep thinking we really should take advantage of the money Germany is offering to trade old cars in for 2500Euros towards a new car. If I buy a car that's around 10,000 Euros, then the Government is actually going to pay 25% of the cost of that car. That's really a very good deal. Since I know I will need a new car in the near future, I feel I should get a new 10,000 Euro car. The Opel Agilia is around 9,900 Euros. It's got 5 doors, and room for 5. It is pretty safe, and comes with a 6 year warranty. I would not call it my dream car, but I could easily afford it. I'm trying to be wise here. There are other cars in thi
