  1. Thanks for pointing out that SS had "rules" not just dictation. I would like to use it loosly with SWR, so it may be a good fit. I think I will buy 3rd grade and look more closely. Laura
  2. I would love to hear your thoughts about these 2 programs - I can't seem to decide. Laura
  3. more ideas. I am really excited about the castle out of the card board boxes, and I am sure the stained glass cookies will be a hit. Salt Maps are always fun, I need a better receip for cookie dough maps, last year Italy became a big blob! LOL. I would love to hear more, any thoughts on any of the units, I hope to do them all this year and summer is my big planning time. Thanks, Laura
  4. I have LG and UG for next year and want to do a really great project every week or at least every "topic" - what were your favorites and if you bought them, where... also, if you bought one that was a waste of time and money, what was it... thanks, Laura
  5. I think I have most of the suggestions, just need to pull it altogether and get a little more organized! Laura
  6. I tried last year and found that Singapore introduced so much more so much earlier, I was skipping most of the book. For expamle, my 3 were doing MUS Beta and Singapore 2a, but Singapore starts multiplication and then division halfway through the book, so were skipping around. I love the way Steve "teaches" math, but my kids were bored with the redundance of the workbook pages... any thoughts? Laura
  7. I knew I was being overy centimental:) I will make some piles, purge what I think needs to go and then let the kids help me with the rest! Laura
  8. I would love to have the dvd's for MUS and use those with the singapore workbooks - has anyone taken the time to document which video and MUS chapter goes with which singapore exercise? am I making myself clear? I am in the lower levels, Beta, Gamma, Delta and Singapore 2nd and 3rd. Laura
  9. I am blessed to have a separate school room option, outside of my house. the problem I found last year, other then it is a little small for 4 students, is that almost eveyday I needed something in the house, a grownup dictionary, another version of the bible, etc. what do you find are your essentials for your school room to function smoothly? any and all thoughts welcome. Laura
  10. Last yr was our 1st hs - I feel like I kept everything - my kiddos were in 2nd and kinder - what do you keep? papers, workbooks, art projects? I am thinking no workbooks, but then I feel guilty, like someday I might want to reflect back on 2nd grade math or something. thanks for your thoughts. Laura
  11. We need to do a quick study on Columbus and we are still in year 1 - where do I find him in my year 2 plan? Laura please help...
  12. or was that just for a short time? I need to place another order and wondering if I should look ahead to get to the $150 mark, or if it just does not matter. Thanks. Laura
  13. I think the real problem is Moms! LOL - I would love to find another like mind person, a friend and ally!
  14. I like how it brakes the lesson into 4 parts. days 1-3 you practice 1 letter, upper and lower and 3 words. on day 4 you write a scripture verse, using the words you practiced thru the week. At the back of the book are pages to write the verses on, with fun pictures the kids get to color when they are done. I only wish they had a cursive with wider lines, these are wide enough for my 2nd graders, but I want to teach my kinder this year, 1 st next year, and I think that he will really need wider lines.
  15. A Reason for Handwriting C - teaching my 2nd graders with this.
  16. what program are you using to make this jpeg - I can't find an edit in either excel or word, my computer is running Vista -
  17. Yea! it worked, I pulled it up:) Life looks so busy when you put it down on paper! LOL!
  18. Let's see if I can help... I too have a new computer with Vista and I have spent hours trying to get my schedule from word or excel into my blog - I finally successfully scanned it in the other day - here's what I did. I don't know computer language, so I hope you can follow me. In the place where all of the programs are listed, I found one called "Paint" in one of the drop downs there I found somehting like "scan/?" I clicked on that. It pulled up my printer/scanner, I said yes and it scanned my printed schedule into the computer and put it with all of my pictures. I went to my pictures and double clicked on it and "blooged" it from there. I hope this helps and I hope that you can understand me. I know the frustration of not being able to do something that it appears everyone else can do with great ease! Good Luck!:001_smile:
  19. I could see my slow reader really delay the process for the group, causing a great deal of stress. I might be ahead of the game to just make the investment in a few of the key books.
  20. I could really see a problem if my slow reader delays the process for the rest. Stress wise, it might be worth the investment.
