  1. The books are in great condition and you sent them right away!

    Thanks, Sarah

  2. I got the book today and have tried to leave you feedback, but I can't seem to find the "deal thread!" So, if anyone is considering buying from you, they should consider this my positive feedback! If you can tell me how to find it, I'll do it right. :)

  3. Just for the record, according to the RFWP website: "Homeschooling parents should be aware that although the Royal Fireworks Language Arts Curriculum by Michael Clay Thompson is intended for very gifted students in a school setting, it can be used with most children in a home setting. This is because homeschooling is so productive in developing and nurturing the abilities of children."
  4. My brother and his family are doing this very thing. They are about nine months into it, but you can go back to the beginning. Here's their blog: http://thewidewideworld.com/
  5. We love Mavis Beacon. She's so nice and encouraging.....really!
  6. Thank you for the positive feedback.

    I've enjoyed dealing with you, too!

  7. Really? This doesn't have anything to do with making teA, does it? just kidding, just kidding!! Well, for all of us who thought we knew how to make rice, but missed the post.....what's the secret? Oooooh, and did someone say breakfast rice??
  8. I love cilantro! I use it in many things, such as: black bean salsa pico de gallo tortilla soup carnitas beans and rice enchiladas quesadillas marinated chicken or steak cilantro-lime basmati rice curry coconut chicken soup black bean soup lentil soup
  9. Sometimes I get legos in my vacuum.....oooops! If I had a blog, I'd call it legos in my vacuum. Seriously, though, we do the king size fitted sheet for dumping them out and bins for storing them. Regardless of what we do, they are everywhere! Ever wrongly step on one barefooted, in the dark, on your way to the kitchen for a glass of water at night. That hurt! The dag gone things can cut your feet if they catch it right. I've even got them in my car. I know some of you will suggest enforcing some kind of rule about the loose legos, but I've kinda just accepted this stage of my life right now. Where's the oddest place you've found a lego?
  10. Oh my gosh! It is hard - I feel for you! This week I received my ds(6) test results - He scored off the charts for eggs wheat gluten peanuts citrus soy honey oats all dairy He's eating rice, beans, what little veggies he'll take at this point, fruit (except for citrus) and some meat and potatoes. He doesn't like fish. No more typical breakfast foods for him. And treats of any sort must take on a new definition. I hope he feels better, though....and you and your kids, too, especially if food was making you all sick the way it was with him. I hope the rest of your results provide good news. :grouphug:
  11. The Mavis Beacon program we're using does not expect you to start with words and sentences. My kids are starting with home row keys and drills. It's working very well. It's version 10, btw.
  12. Rummy Roots? Although, it's more of a game. http://www.christianbook.com/Christian/Books/product?sku=51798&event=AFF&p=1023668
  13. When you say she's already struggling bad with it, what exactly is happening? Is she getting them all wrong over and over again? Is she making any improvement from one day to the next? It can take quite awhile to move on to the next lesson. Yes, the words can be hard. It's suggested in the program to get 100% twice before moving on to the next lesson. In order to do that, it may take 10 times or more - and that's ok as long as your child is ok with that. This method works great for my auditory learner (5th grader). She doesn't mind doing the lists over and over again until she get's them right. I've also noticed that she's spelling much better in her other work she does (we've tried many other spelling programs). But, this program really bugged my natural speller (3rd grader) who might get one or two wrong and would hate to have to write the whole list over again. I guess it really depends on the child.
