The Daily Juggle!

Archive for April, 2010

I’m writing a book, but I was also planning on writing two other series along with it but..

I’ve decided to learn to draw, so I can make one into a web comic and one into a comic.

But, it’s harder then it sounds..I don’t want to forget anything.

You should pick up a three-subject notebook and keep one section for each story. Right off the bat, write down the ideas that you have for each story. Then choose one of them to start and finish before moving on to the next ones.
Congratulations on learning how to draw – that’s something that I’ve always wanted to do

This is my first year trying to home school two kids at the same time. One is in second grade, the other in Kindergarten. It seems as though I’m never able to finish with the second grader so I can work with the kindergartener. I’d love some HELPFUL suggestions.

I try to keep mine (6th and 1st grade) together for as much as possible. We (loosely) follow the classical approach, which dictates history and science be done chronologically. When I started doing history with the younger one, I just brought him alongside his older brother for read-aloud time (even though we were starting the middle ages, not ancient people). I do require older brother 1). to read more (and more advanced) books on the topic we are covering and 2). to write about what he has read.

You could also do science together (the same experiments), just ask the 2nd grader to write about the experiment and what it shows.

You could ask the 2nd grader to help you teach math or read-aloud to younger brother/sister while you prepare (take your pick): lunch, the next lesson, a load of laundry…

By combining everything you can and having the older one work independently whenever possible, this frees you up to work with just the younger one.

Oh, and don’t try to do too much with the younger one just yet. I focused entirely on phonics and basic math in K (with a few science experiments thrown in just for fun) and my 1st grader is already reading at a 2nd-3rd grade level.

Also, make sure you’re not asking too much of the 2nd grader, either. I made this mistake when we first started homeschooling (trying to have him learn everything I thought he needed to learn all at once!). Now, we are usually completely finished with school between 1 and 2.

Has this country got their priorities in order? Do they have a conscious?

MBTM,Here’s a few links that back up Pansie’s question.

I think it’s deplorable that fat rich corrupt people like Modi & his ilk are getting rich over the bodies of children who starve to death.

I will be 31 when starting my undergraduate studies, single, no children, no financial commitments, and I’m wondering whether working part time (10-20 hours per week) and studying will be too stressful.

A lot depends on the degree – I did a year of English and the amount of reading was horrendous, switched to Philosophy and did my lectures and seminars and tutorials and four hours study a night for four nights a week and cruised it. If you’re organised you can do it.

By the way, I see you’re single. You’ll probably have some great times at uni.

I’m a pretty decent soccer player. My coach needs me to have a better touch on the ball by learning to JUGGLE. I’ve tried and tried,but just can’t seem to learn. As a freshmen in high school I made the varsity team. I hope to repeat next year. After starting playing soccer again in the spring it seems that I have gotten slower and I’m not as good as I was because of an ankle injury. If anyone can help me with ways to train by myself it would be awesome!
Thanks.

this may help

I know how you feel. But, once I started practicing, in 3 weeks I went from 40 to 100, and with more practice i got to 365

It is best to start with one bounce juggling and stuff like that and get used to the ball coming back to your hands.

So I am fifteen years old and I am about to start my first part time job. I will be working five days a week for four hours a day. How can I JUGGLE my work life and my friendships and a boyfriend while I am this busy? Plus how can I manage my grades without them slipping dramatically? I work 5-9 so it will be hard to fit homework in…

Relax you will figure it out. You are working 20 hours a week. You are in school another 6 hours, do you have a free period? IF so use it for homework. I would imagine you will also work some weekends, four hours on a Saturday or Sunday 5-9 still leaves most of the day for homework and school projects.

what do you have to do to maintain your current GPA?

part of what you will be learning is time management . I know adults who still haven’t figured that out.

Last year I remember i tried and tried to do it but i couldn’t. I would spend hours at a time trying to kick it back and forth between my feet. Please explain how to do it exactly lol thanks.

1 Hold the ball in your hands.

2 Drop the ball.

3 Bounce it back to your hands with your thigh.

4 Repeat using your other thigh.

5 Stop using your hands once you feel comfortable hitting the ball back and forth between your thighs.

6Count how many times you can thigh the ball before it hits the ground.

Juggling With Your Feet

HOPE THIS HELPS

When i begin juggling its pretty good for a while then it starts coming towards me too much. Could it be the shoes because these shoes, i dont think are for soccer. Oh! If you can send me a link to help me on juggling too that would be appreciated.

It is how your foot is pointed. Point it down a little and the ball should come straight up. Juggling also takes a lot of practice.
Here is a good website to help you. http://ezinearticles.com/?How-to-Develop-Soccer-Juggling-Skills&id=734015
