I am having a hard time finding a workbook to use for this level. I am finding that comparing grade level workbooks does not necessarily mean it is in in line with Saxon 76. Even Abeka Gr 5 looks harder than Saxon 76. So if anyone has any ideas I would appreciate it. Thanks!

Thanks, that was a huge help. I had purchased it from Amazon and did not know there was an actual website for the program. I am even more excited now. The lesson plans remind me of KONOS!

I am hoping to use this for our HS Biology. I was wondering what exactly is in the study guide portion of the DVD's....Booklist? Workbook pages? Experiments? Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

This was my immediate reaction too. My dd is almost 12. We started having the conversations about modest dress when she could no longer wear a 6x. I was shocked at the transition. It does get more difficult as they get older. There is a website called Pure Fashion dd likes to go to. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to link it, but it is easliy found in a google search. Just my $.02.

Ideas for broken crayon bits?
Time4tea replied to JoyfulMama's topic in General Education Discussion Board
I've seen crayons put in muffin tins and melted in the oven. Makes big crayons for the littles. Wish I hadn't just gotten rid of my old muffin tins. :( -
We would just pick which days during the week we had available. I didn't want to tell dd she couldn't do something with her friends because of schoolwork. It wasn't that we didn't complete the number of days, so we didn't have to worry about doing so many days in the summer. I schooled just math and reading the summer so that the skills would be retained and to play a little catch-up. It was a very relaxed sort of thing, maybe an hour in the morning.

s/o toxic foods - what do you do?
Time4tea replied to ChristusG's topic in General Education Discussion Board
Like you we just relax. We may go to the local grocery store for fresh fruit and such. I do know of people who have literally taken and prepared their own food when traveling, but it was mostly due to allergies. They used a rice cooker, toaster, microwave..... That's all I can remember. Most hotels have microwave access. The rice cooker evidently was used a lot too. We had a family over from out of town and I don't think they ate anything when they visited except apples. All their food was prepared in the hotel room. Hope you had a good time at Disney. -
Can homeschoolers be "B" students?
Time4tea replied to coffeefreak's topic in General Education Discussion Board
I don't do a lot of grading stuff. We move on even if things aren't perfect. We may review a bit if I see she isn't getting something. -

How do your children address an adult?
Time4tea replied to Doodle's topic in General Education Discussion Board
Well I don't know if you are in the minority, but I agree with you. I prefer to be addressed Mrs..... and I want my children to do the same. Here in the south Miss (insert first name) is very common. Unfortunately, it's just a gateway to being addressed by just your first name pretty quickly, so I'm always referring to myself as Mrs. when talking to young children, for example, "This is Mrs....is your mother available" when I call on the phone. Adults often tell my children to call them Miss First Name and I just let it go. -
Read-alouds & doodling, etc.
Time4tea replied to poohma's topic in General Education Discussion Board
Try it and see how it works for you. I know I was surprised that my dd could be doing things while we read and still knew exactly what was being read. -
By negativity, do you mean complaining? I handle complaining as a discipline issue.
