Bible Study Guide for All ages. The CD with the songs is great, too. It teaches Bible, not a church's doctrines.

Everybody, EVERYBODY, has an agenda.
The Bible teaches giving. Especially to a church institution to help others and support the ministers, and to people for many reasons.
We (mostly) agree with the HSDLA agenda. And we also want the peace of mind.
Yes, this law puts even more control in the government's hand. HSLDA openly fights this. Yes, it is their agenda. Thank God!

From Happy Scribe Combo #1 - The Bible
"Each copybook has twenty sayings, presented in three different common handwriting fonts: Classic Block Printing, D'Nealian Italic and Cursive."
It does not say what type of Cursive, though.
-
Does the World History Scribe that is $1 include all the history books (like Medieval Times, Colonial Times) that are $1 each, or it has less info? I cannot look at samples.

Homeschooler Buyers has a deal on TellMeMore.
I need to know if it is worth it for 3rd and under. And has anyone used both?
Thanks!
-
In our state we have to keep samples for a few years - so I heard people keep every 10th lesson of a workbook and staple them together ans store them in a folder.

I have not used it yet, but I bought it for the fall for my 8 and 6 and 4/5 yo.
I have not bought the timeline or CD - I wanted the music CD because my dd8 is very musical and retains better through music. But I forgot to order from rainbow.
Sorry I cannot help you anymore. I read from other people that the cd is good and fun, and the timeline are great. To me, they were a bit expensive. But I may still order them, have not decided yet.

Now I have a question.
IF you could only afford to buy 2 student manuals (beside all teacher manuals, and I already have the Practice student and teacher), which ones would you buy?
-
Thank you for sharing. How gracious of you!

Meet the MAsters is great, multi level and on the computer, too. We do this through our library, they have a monthly class using this curriculum - excellent.
-
No, I was not going to do FFL3 - dd does not like that book at all. I thought MCT is more fun, I don't know.
How do you schedule MCT? Or is it open and go?
-
For the fall.
I do not know what do choose!!??!! I know I will be doing WWE 3, AAS 2, 3 and A Reason for Handwriting D.
We are finishing up FLL2.
But what to do for grammar in 3rd? I was thinking Sentence Island, Building Language, Grammar ISland by MCT. But I wonder if it is a little too complicated to teach, or too much? I was just going to buy the TM and the practice booklets.
Anyone willing to share their experiences with these two programs?
English is my second language so I need TMs.
Thanks!!

Bible Study Guide for All Ages is very accurate. Has 3 levels, so you can teach several using the same lesson. www.rainbowresource.com sells the material.

I would read with him one page per day of a HAndbook for Reading from Abeka. It introduces blends, like ba, me, ki, etc... and uses "blend ladders". Then goes into C-V-C, long vowels, special sounds.
-
We like the Netflix science documentaries from a christian perspective, like: Amazing creatures that defy evolution, the priviledged planet (have not seen this yet). And Wonders of God's Creation (there are 6 dvds of this).
Mystery of the Nile was good, too.
For history I liked Babylon, Past, Present and Future - but this is not for the very young, maybe for older children.
-
I do not know who Dr. Enn? is, but if you have a good understanding of the Bible, and obey it yourself, then you need to teach the children what it says: Ephesians 6:1, Children, obey you parents in the Lord for this is right.
Disobedience is sin.
Now, I am not saying you need to lecture your 2 yo, but we find many references in the Bible about how parents need to teach their children to obey, to teach them right from wrong. Solomon wrote many of his proverbs to his son, teaching him what is sin, and what is not.
I do not know what Dr. Enn is talking about, but I would not worry about it - we have the Bible, the ultimate manual of raising children.
-
I did finish K by doubling up, no problem, and reading the books, but then in first grade I skipped the first 30 lessons or so. It was all repeat and my dd knew it all.
-
Thank you for sharing, Amy, I like those books!
-
My 7.5 never did this. Yet yesterday, she wrote 3 as a cursive E!!!!! :001_huh:
-
I went to parent practicum a couple of years ago and was quite impressed, but did not understand why very young ones, 7 and under, need this program, either. I always said it seems very beneficial for grade 4 and up, but it seemed too much for a little one without any context - I know, the context will come later, I just do not see the need for this, they can memorize something that makes more sense.
I really like the program for older grades for sure!
-
Nope, never heard of a sale at rainbow.
-
Thank you for the ideas!! You ladies have so much good input!
Now I have to go look into all these ideas.

If I would do CC, I would not put my 4 yo in. It is a very fast paced environment, we went for a visit day. But the director said I could keep the 4yo with ne while I am in the class with myolder children. Or in the nursery.
Government and State encroaching on our rights again!

I think many people have a lot of trust in the government -HSLDA and my family don't. I do not see any reason to trust the government, especially when it walks all over parents rights.
Yes, HSLDA is "narrow" and rigid, if you want to call it this way - so is the Bible teaching, so is the path to Heaven. There is no way around it, it is narrow and straight. Truth is not flexible or bendable. Of course they are this way, they do not hide their beliefs or stands.
Whenever we get alerts, they are true, at least in our state. HSLDA works with the local legal arm in many ways. They are a blessing here, and the great majority of homeschoolers I know personally are thankful for them.
You do not have to use them or pay the fee or anything. They talk for homeschoolers - a lot of them. If they don't talk for you, call or email and tell them that you do not agree with their stand. What good does it do to bash them here when you could go directly to them and ask them about whatever complaint you are having with them?
