N F 5 D

Hello! When my husband didn't get his call sign for a website, he set this one up for me. For those who don't know what a call sign is, NF5D is the name of my ham radio station, or it would be, if I had a ham radio station. My husband finally did get his call sign for a website. It's AE5D dot com.

New 7/18/2008:
Here is a collection of Spanish words I compiled and sorted into categories based on the Hasbro/Milton Bradley board game of Scattergories. The Table of Contents is in two forms: organized or numerical order.

The purpose of education, besides being able to read the Bible, is to be able to read a book like Rwanda Means the Universe, by Louise Mushikiwabo. My reviews of that book and of King Solomon's Mines, which played a large part in Louise's story, as well as many other books, can be found on the Book Reports and Commentary Page. [New book report (#21) added 7/3/2008.]

We have posted our homeschool report cards, if you'd care to have a look. Homeschool parents customize their teaching to their children, so this is not meant as a guideline - only what we did. They are from the second six weeks of the third grade, October 10, 1994, when we started homeschooling, to when he graduated from high school, May 22, 2004. As the Texas Home School Coalition T-shirt says, "I home school in Texas . . . where people are free!" The only stipulations are that we must teach the three R's and good citizenship and use books, which a bona fide homeschooler would do anyway.

For any who are curious about what happened when I went to teach at the local public high school after homeschooling for ten years, read
A Peek into the Public Schools,
My Personal Teaching Experience,
and Testimony of My Trial at the Public Schools.
