I rearranged my scheduled to fit our new life. Last year I was taken the girls to music three to four times a week this year it will be twice a week, I am trying my best not to over schedule, I don't want to burn out.I also don't want to neglect my house by not keeping a clean organize home. there was a time that we had an outside activity everyday between tennis,gymnastic ballet and lets not forget trips my home was a nasty mess .piles of clothes everywhere ,piles of dirty dishes in my sink ,dirty floors,dirty rooms. Even the girls fell behind in every subject. I must admit it was fun rushing in and out , the experience was a good one to have. But do I want to go back to chaos? NO definitely a fat NO. I like balance, I don't like rushing and I hate rush hour . it was not easy to travel with that much kids in an overcrowded train with rude people .<br />
<br />
My goal for this year is to establish a routine , I want to teach my girls good habits, like make your bed when you wake up ,change your pajamas, get ready for the day. <br />
I want the girls to follow a schedule wake up at 6 am ,get ready for the day , eat breakfast, do your academic without complaining or whining. <br />
<br />
homeschooling this much kids mean that your child will be teaching herself , which in my opinion is important. I give them a strong foundation on reading ,math and writing for they could eventually could pick up a textbook and teach themselves . I wont spoon feeding every information. being part of a big family means that you will become independent and responsible for your own learning early than other kids.<br />
<br />

My husband have a way with our babies, he will almost always make them smile and laugh. .. Today he made Asanti smile , I rush to get my camera but after the camera was turn on she will not smile .... boohoo., but it was nice to capture daddy with her little girl. I will try to post the video tomorrow.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8688355704306806799.post-76549086301413520932013-10-02T20:00:00.000-07:002013-10-02T20:14:27.361-07:00oct 2,2013<br />

Raising six will now change to raising seven, yeah that's right ! My family is bigger and better.<br />
lets welcome my baby girl Asanti.<br />

My husband when to work and I stood home with my other 6 kids and my mother that took a day off from work to help me. there I was with pain that will go and come, I was crying because the nurses from the hospital told me that it was early that it might be two more weeks before I actually give birth, those words hunt me , how can I stay two weeks with pain....how? . There were wrong,thanks God! . At home my labor pain became stronger, I walk back and forth, I squat with every contractions ,I belly dance through my pain ,I breathe deep in filling my belly like if it was a balloon. there was time that couldn't keep control and I will lose myself in the pain and panic ,but God must be there for me because somehow I put myself together. This was the first time that I labor by myself , my husband always been there for me, I was angry that he when to work and left me with pains ,but I understand that it was a must since days before he took a day off because I was feeling contraction,but that led to nothing . This was the first time that I was active in my labor not just laying in a hospital bed waiting for the cervix to reach 10 cm.<br />
When I couldn't stand the pain any longer I call hubby to come home I let him know that this was the real deal. By the time he came I was crying ,sweating ,trembling and scared. My daughter and mom help me go down to the street to meet him since I could hardly walk ,there he was my hero , he was waiting outside with a taxi to rush me to the hospital.<br />
The ride was the most exciting ,crazy experience of my life, I was screaming because the pain was unbearable , I though that the baby was going to pop out right there inside the taxi, the taxi driver was scared he eventually pass all the red light to rush me to the hospital . Finally we arrive at the hospital ,a man that heard me scream and heard the taxi driver scream "emergency" came to help me with a wheelchair my husband pull me out of the taxi rush me inside the hospital to the labor floor ,nurses and doctor approach me with stupid question ,Okay they wasn't stupid questions, but I really didn't even had the energy to talk . Nurses rush me to the labor room pulling my pants off and shirt, lay me on bed , the doctor put on his gloves and check me , and this are the words that bring me back ,"she is 10cm" Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah! to me that meant the end all I needed to do was push, which I did 3 push and the Baby was born at 6:30 pm .This experience was the most empowerful experience I ever had . I labor by myself ,I was strong ,I was in control, been active in labor was the best.<br />
Thank you God ,my husband and my beautiful daughter carmen who was sitting next to me in the taxi hearing me scream and holding my hands. sorry you couldn't come in to see your sister been born ,next time.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8688355704306806799.post-57667017584431451302012-09-27T12:04:00.000-07:002012-09-27T12:04:02.349-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

After math was reading ,she did indenpent reading then we read a book together.</div>
Sarai is a very smart girl she is doing great on her reading and Hopefully she become a book lover.<br />
Many times i feel sad and overwhelmed with the fact that i constantly feel like the girls are behind and I feel anxious to rush through materials. which is always a huge mistake. I just end being overwork and moody.<br />
I just have to keep reminding myself that slow and steady wins the race.<br />
<br />
<br />
Kenia (aged 8)is progressing slowly with her reading ,she is deff not at grade level which makes me feel horrible . since I am her teacher i cant blame anyone but myself.<br />
even though her reading skill need improvement ,I must be proud of her for her math skills, she is doing great! . I am using saxon 5/4 . at the beginning of each lesson she gets a drill page of 100 addition facts she get 5 min to complete this sheet. I put on my stopwatch and she work the problem as fast as she can,unfortunately she haven't been able to finish the drill in 5 min .I am confident that she will soon. <br />
She also did about 2hr of reading and practice her handwriting.<br />
<br />
<br />
Eva did a lesson at readingbear.org . This is an excellence website to learn how to read phonetically . I also when to starfall.com and we read Zac the rat.<br />
I also using a Glenn doman method of reading with her which is the whole -word method. I believe both method are needed to be a great reader.<br />
I know there is many arguments regarding which method is best. My thought are they both good.<br />
<br />
Noah who is 14 month old,I do Little reader twice a day in English and Spanish and wink to learn Chinese twice a day. he knows many of his body part and understand both English and Spanish and some mandarin( which the older girls teach him)<br />
<br />
I wish there was more hours in a day for I could keep enjoying my babies.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8688355704306806799.post-15749023357606046922012-09-03T17:08:00.002-07:002012-09-03T17:10:03.958-07:00saturday. sept 18:14 am I heard my cell phone ring,it was my mom , she told me that my brother was on his way for I could take them to home depot workshop. I stand up ,it felt like all the gravity of the world was pushing me down how I wish i could sleep late. But when you are a mom of 6 that is just a wish . <br />
<br />
rush the girls to get dress ,get Noah dress ,get Eva dress , argue with carmen to hurry up, asked the girls to comb their hair ,comb eva hair. finally we are all out of the door.<br />
<br />
walk to the mall , before heading to homedepot I made a stop at payless shoes b/c i left noah sandals at the beach yesterday, to my surprise payless shoes are close look at their scheduled that was posted on their window ,look down to sat ,they open at 10.<br />
It now 9:30 ,hey I am not going to stand there and wait so I just when straight to home depot. The kids build a gol post ,it was easy. while they was building I try to calm Noah down who wanted to walk but I couldn't let him because he was barefooted.<br />
<br />
I remember That I have to talk to Noah if I want him to talk, so I walk around showing him the different plants ,talking to him about the colors of the flowers the leaf size , show him and talking even about photosynthesis. <br />
<br />
After the girls finish building their project we went to the running track ,I sign up K,S and E to soccer, which start sept 15. They said they will call me if there is space for them. The girls also play with this kid that live in my building and that we just found out that he get homeschool ,we were all happy to find another homeschooler. Until they interact with the boy and notice that the boy is not nice, <br />
I guess not all homeschoolers are nice.<br />
<br />
Noah got his first haircut, my hubby try to give him a decent haircut but he kept moving,crying ,screamming . I wonder how barbers deal with kids this young ........maybe they give them a lollipop.<br />
the girls said that he looks like Moe from the three stooges....lol<br />

This summer was great, I saw my girls laughing ,smiling,running playing and being free.<br />
Of course there was also the negative, fighting ,complaining ,crying and them being unsatisfied , but overall it was great.<br />
<br />

<br />
My lazy spirit didn't want to go through the hassle of taking the train and packing snacks or getting dirty with sand,but I am glad I did.<br />
<br />
seeing my girls and my baby Noah playing with the sand walking to the water, looking for shells it was worthy.<br />
when we starting going to the beach Noah would run away from the water ,but today he walk toward the water even letting the wave land on his beautiful toes he even grab my hand and gesture for me to take him in. once we were in he got scared, I just carry him and try to make him feel safe ,I jump in and out of the water which he thought it was hilarious . He play peek boo with his sisters, Kenia will go in the water them pop out he love that.<br />
<br />
Eva mi gordita enjoyed getting wet ,playing with sand finding different shapes of shells.<br />

In our way back home Eva took the towel to cover herself because she was cold then sarai ask her to share the towel because she was also cold but eva refused to .<br />
moments later sarai fell asleep and Eva tuck her in with some of her towel. sweet.<br />
<br />
<br />

I personally hate it , it's a waste of time, time they could be reading or being creative. Today I noticed how the girls don't enjoyed reading books like they used to,and how the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">littles</span> ones are not so fond of books . That is not good, even though k is improving in her reading , she should have been reading independently already,but still struggles sounding out words, that is because she prefer to watch t.v rather than reading her books. I remember when C &T were her age they were already reading at a fast paced , I remember how T used to prefer reading her Henry and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">Mudge</span> books than watching the Idiot Box. I know every child is different ,but I feel this is not about that , It's my fault, I guess , for not having a balance between T.V and other form of entertainment.<br />Starting on Monday , I will put an end to the idiot box ( I least when my hubby is at work....<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">LOL</span>)<br />I will not allowed the girls to watch t.v Monday-Friday . It will be hard ,since T.V could entertain the girls while I cook or take a break,(shame on me)but is a must . I will try to visit the library more often and join the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">homeschool</span> book club again (I stop going 2 months ago)I want to bring the love for books again in this house.<br /><br />"Television wastes time, promotes passive, vicarious brain development rather than active thought, and is a source of pernicious social contamination.

To accomplish these goals my hubby and I don't give them an allowance, the way they get money from us is by them reading books, we use to print out a 100 squares sheet and tape it to the wall, for every book they read, and I will put a star in each square, when the sheet were full of stars I will get them what they wanted , their first reward was a digital camera . Now we do things a little different we give them a quarter for every book they read, which teach them to save up (money management) it really works , one time when I was in the store with them I over heard C & T talking about how much they wanted a purse ,C told T that if she liked it to buy it, because T had enough money, but T replied by saying that if she wait longer she will save up more money which means that she will have enough to buy the purse and more stuff, that buying the purse now will reduce her savings. Sometimes they try to be sneaky and have me buy their wants for they could save their money.....LOL. This week I print out a book list sheet for they could record each book they read through the week ,I tape the sheet to the refrigerator, at the end of the week I will give them a quarter for each book they read and a dollar for each book they read that I recommended.<br /><br /><br />To accomplish the goal of been responsible and independent I give them chores , <img style="WIDTH: 101px; HEIGHT: 99px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5430357519342787218" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm6l-OAMVujPZTwuiZJP_MbiAFhBXmKN5kK26QoAgmCw-hmzxsSrTdno-ufysZMKrVMIMrm2TMn8w5wBn645kWzt1t2H6Ou-fhWQ6o2OWQ8wLiyHLJHzaYSN6_WrKx0IAgPSQLp6arz_Y/s200/100_0681.JPG" />K clean dishes after breakfast, T clean dishes after lunch , C clean dishes after dinner. they are responsible for keeping their bedroom and the playroom clean.
