I try to empathize with my children through my own trial and error...so far, it's pretty ugly, lol!<br /><br />Do you have the Sieglinde de Francesca DVD edited by A Little Garden Flower? I like that one a lot.<br /><br />Keep drawing, creation is a lifelong process.A Homeschool Storyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07601636901131690015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876893946424365294.post-11876770151965344932009-10-21T18:51:20.841-07:002009-10-21T18:51:20.841-07:00I'm glad I stumbled on your blog tonight.

Have you ever seen any of Steiner's drawings? Lets just say that the bar really isn't that high!Sarah Cornetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13966460392682083634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876893946424365294.post-45840698206486241842009-08-23T18:56:52.210-07:002009-08-23T18:56:52.210-07:00I do not have the DVD, but do enjoy using the book...I do not have the DVD, but do enjoy using the book. When we did 1st grade I worked in my own main lesson book too. I did not do the writing in my book, but whenever we did a picture we both did them in our lesson books together.<br />Getting a bit ahead here, but when you are ready for 2nd grade I highly recommend Sieglinde de Francesca's Teaching with the Fables book. It is beautiful, one of my favorite 2nd grade resources.renee ~ heirloom seasonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06946027766633119376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876893946424365294.post-40984124000257690772009-08-21T16:23:21.884-07:002009-08-21T16:23:21.884-07:00Hi Kelly!

I wonder if the one I have was made separately for ALGF and is shaky because it was not more "professionally" done. I am quite disappointed in how shaky it is...When she is sitting still, the camera is on a tripod and it's fine, but when she's showing what to do, it's all over the place. If anyone else who sees this post has the single dvd not sold through ALFG, is it shaky in places, too? <br /><br />There is a free video out there (sampler) here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zqnb39BxgWI&feature=channel_page<br /><br />HTH & thanks for the lovely comments!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08272157134061700589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7876893946424365294.post-54859309833003329532009-08-21T15:57:43.144-07:002009-08-21T15:57:43.144-07:00Hi Jen,

We do seem to under-utilise block crayons so perhaps I should get this then I could learn to use them as they should be used and pass on tips to the boys. Each of your drawings are lovely!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04803468440764742603noreply@blogger.com
