I'm burned out right now. I'm ending our school year this week rather than the 31st for our official school "year". Then we are taking a few weeks off before summer fun stuff.
My burn out is mainly related to the fact that I've been babysitting two additional kiddos FT since January. This job ends the third week week in June.
I agree that taking a break helps a lot! When I do want my big girl to work on something and I'm just too "ugh" to want to do anything, I create "assignment" packets for her. I staple a few math or English pages together and let her work on them alone for the week. I print stuff off online and she works on them.

Sonlight or NOEO. Both can be used secularly. Both come with everything you need for the most part (books, supples, etc) and a nice guide that plans everything out for you. Both are also very easy to tweak, beef up, etc.

The Fat Boy Chronicles
I watched that last night and it was an amazing "feel good" movie!

Would you be able to drink stuff like Ensure or even the Slim Fast shakes (some calories and nutrition)?
-
Bummer he's fried by the evening! School at night works sooo well for us. We usually do the 3Rs at this time.
-
We didn't have any problems with SM 1a/b. My big girl did very well with it and enjoyed it very much!
-
Those are all great - but I'm partial to Esther :001_smile:
My best friend's daughter is named Hadassah!

I work on the core subjects with my big girl at night when my small girl goes to bed.
-
At 9:50am (Eastern time), I will officially have a 6 year old!
:auto::party:

My big girl loves Singapore Math, Beast Academy, and Sonlight.

Glad to hear such good things about SL. We are going to add in all the SL books from the P4/5 core this year because the girls wanted more books and we haven't done many on that list.
It took me a while to take the SL plunge and I'm glad we did. We worked P3/4, Science K and a bunch of Core D (had to sell cause I needed some $$ but my big girl loved it!) and soon P4/5.

Moving Beyond the Page (but I think it was more of a placement issue for us since the material was light).
Explode The Code

What about Cyber Chase and WordGirl on PBS? I thought those were for the older crowd. Do you have The Hub? There is My Little Pony, Strawberry Shortcake, Fraggle Rock on that station.

Small girl will begin K4:
BJU Bible
Singapore Essentials ?
I don't know what else yet. I need to wait and see where she's at.
Small girl update for K4!!
She will enjoy Sonlight P4/5 with Singapore Math!
-
She will! I'm not allowed to read Uncle Wiggily unless D-Man is there. He remembers all of the books from when he did it and loves reliving them. It's a great core!!
:D
They both loved P3/4 when we used that a while back! I know my big girl will definitely want to do the science too...along with the few other topics she is working on! I am excited to use it and am glad that we are starting it earlier! Hehe! They will have their own math - Big girl will continue with BA during the summer and small girl will begin Singapore.
-
Sure! I finally decided on Sonlight P4/5 for my small girl with Singapore Math. We will just continue with the stuff we are currently using for my big girl, though she will probably want to participate in the SL action too!
ETA: Actually, I use different materials when we do a light summer school and I'm just going to use the P4/5 for that (not daily though, usually 2-3 times a week) for both girls.
-
Be thankful! My big girl can read but doesn't have an interest :confused:! It is like pulling teeth to have her read stuff.
-
I keep the pages in the workbooks. We have a lot of consumables. I even use the Singapore Math textbook as consumable (gasp!). Right now, I have a banker box that is labeled with my girls' grade levels and I put the workbooks and various projects, crafts, etc in those boxes. I keep workbooks so we can show that they have completed these programs.

Big girl (2nd grade):
Bible from Sonlight P 4/5
Singapore Math 4/Beast Academy 3c/3d (with various supplements)
BJU English and Spelling 2
Christian Kids Explore Science (?)
Lots of crafts, read alouds, logic, possible flute lessons
Small girl (K4):
Sonlight P4/5
Singapore Earlybird B
Lots of crafts, read alouds
-
I would also have the kids make a card.
-
Five year olds can do Beast Academy. My big girl turns six this month and started BA when it rolled out in March. We were also fortunate enough to receive the sample chapter that came out and she worked well in that. I didn't use the placement test since she worked fine in the sample chapter and was in Singapore 3. No regrets from me or her:D
-
We used the map for Core D twice then I dropped it. I just used our globe to point stuff out. I didn't worry about having the points on the map always marked while doing the lessons.
ETA: I liked the globe more since you can see the journeys people took better because the globe is round and not flat like a map.

I eat food bars for breakfast every morning. Usually Kashi chocolate peanut butter but Walmart was out so I have Balance Bars S'mores. With coffee.
Anyone spend 3 hrs or less on school

We do less than three hours of my planned school work but she does her own things as well. I count that time as school hours too.
