PRINTABLE CHARTS

This year, as my middle kids get a bit older and can assume some of the schoolwork organization, I looked on-line to see if there were any charts to help with that task. I came across http://www.chartjungle.com/schoolhome.html where there are charts for just about anything you can think of.

We are going back to trying to alternate days on a few subjects, so the "learning checklist" has the days of the week across the top and the subjects down the side. I'm going to put a check in the days of the week that the subject needs to be completed.

There is also an hourly schedule, which might get too narrowed down for us for school but I think it might come in handy some days for the total home schedule.

I thought I'd pass my finding along in case the chart jungle can help anyone else! Happy new year!

LIBRARY GARDEN PROGRAM

The Portage Lake District Library will present another evening of gardening wisdom and lessons in its continuing series of gardening programs.

Master Gardener and Michigan Technological University Head Gardener Lynn (withheld for archive) will present "Beautiful Bodacious Bulbs Explained (along with their neighbors tubers, corms, and rhizomes)" on Tuesday, September 15, at 6:30 p.m.

"Every season has its gardening tasks," Watson explained. She will discuss planting, sizing, dividing, and fertilizer timing for the fall care of garden bulbs. Below ground mysteries will be revealed as participants learn how to protect and preserve bulbs in order to enjoy mid-winter blooming.

Participants will have time to ask questions, and there will be examples to see and handouts to take home.

Library programs are free and everyone is invited to attend. For more information, please call the library at 482-4570 or visit www.pldl,org
