    Ideas as to what "cask" could mean...

    in General Education Discussion Board

    Posted · Edited by MissKNG

    In the texting world. The context of the text is someone can't read all of their texts cause they dropped their phone and it's probably best to cask and that they will get a new phone Monday. This is in terms of communication between the two parties...they should "cask" since the texts aren't working properly.

     

    I thought they meant "call" but I can't figure out how you could misspell call into cask.

    Saxon Vs Singapore (Need help deciding)

    We use Singapore. Before deciding on a math program, I checked out samples of Saxon and carefully read their catalog. I based my decision because their presentation would not work with my big girl's learning style. If I were the student, Saxon would work for me...I need the incremental approach. I am a very sequential learner. My big girl just "gets" math and doesn't need increments to guide her.

    Learning times tables at a young age?

    We are in SM 3a and I haven't pushed memorization of times tables due to her age. I have gently been working on addition/subtraction facts with her and it worked. I give her "weekly assignments", which are four or five pages I printed off and stapled together. They contain 'fun' exercises to work on math facts (ie. color by number). She has the week to work on the assignment so there's no pressure. She can work on as many pages as she wants on any given day during the week. It's just due by Friday.

    Good Monday morning to you all! I hope that you are alive, awake, alert, enthusiastic on this Monday! Where do you fall in that spectrum? I'm definitely alive, awake and mostly alert. I can't say that I've achieved enthusiastic status yet! :001_smile:

     

    1. How was your weekend? Did you do anything special or fun?

     

    2. What's on the menu for today?

     

    3. Do you take a "spring break" or "Easter break" from school? If so, when?

     

    4. If you don't follow a year-round school schedule, when will you be done with this "school year?" When will you start the next year's curriculum?

     

    1. Our weekend was fun...my niece spent the weekend here!

    2. We had eggs and hash browns for breakfast. Ham, hash browns (per request), and carrots for lunch. I am feeding four kids because I babysit two additional kiddos!

    3. Yes, we follow the public school vacation schedule except we aren't taking Good Friday off.

    4. We homeschool year round and we start the next level when we complete the current level.

    What to do with Gifted Kindergartener?

    I also keep plenty of resources/materials available and ready to go that are at different levels. Especially in the areas of her interest, which happens to be math and science. We all sorts of books, manipulatives, workbooks, etc. at various levels for her to use during school time or on her own.

     

    Enjoy the ride cause it's FAST! :auto:
