WOW! Thanks so much for all of the replies! My son chose 36 on his quiz and got it wrong and it says the correct answer is 72. We are using Course 1 Mathematics Common Core by Pearson through Connections Academy this year. I was having him make quiz corrections and could not figure out why he got this answer wrong. All of the replies really help and I will ask his teacher to explain further. I was just going crazy trying to figure it out! Thanks again!

I know this is easy but my brain this morning is not high functioning! Here is the question: A train leaves the station every 12 min. Another train leaves every 9 min. If both trains just left on parallel tracks, when will both leave the station together again? The answer is 72 but I can't help my son figure out why! Thanks!

We usually wear pjs during school. The kids change when they are finished and ready to play outside or we need to leave.

Can one jump in at grade level with this program?

Thanks Jilly! This is our first time. The only one I'm worried about is the 1 yr old! She is pretty easy going but I'm still nervous. We are planning for lots of stops and bought several new toys just for the trip. Any other ideas?

We could put that in after Amarillo. Roswell is only about 3 1/2 hours from there. It would only be another 3 to Santa Fe.

Thank you! We really like anything. I have a list of everything we planned to see on our TripTik through AAA. But I can't access it right now. We have a little bit of everything on there. Landmarks, museums, art like Cadillac Ranch, tourist attractions, etc.

We own a video surveillance company and my husband has been contracted for a job in San Antonio, TX (2 days) and one in Salt Lake City, UT (3 days). We will be leaving late January through late February. We decided to take this opportunity for a road trip. If you know of somewhere or something we must see, please let me know. :) We are starting from SC. Here are our stops: Montgomery, AL New Orleans, LA San Antonio, TX Amarillo, TX Santa Fe, NM Phoenix, AZ San Diego, CA Las Vegas, NV Coconino, AZ (to see the Grand Canyon) Salt Lake City, UT Aspen, CO Kansas City, MO Branson, MO Nashville, TN Back home!

I'm curious too!

:iagree:! On a side note, we live about 5 min. from CSU and that is where I met my husband.:001_smile:

As of now, this is still available! I just made a purchase:001_smile: Thank you for sharing!

Last night, my friend, said how overwhelmed she is with her son's work load. He is 10 and in 5th grade. She told me he does homework two hours after school. Then takes a break for dinner and clean up and then has more homework to finish. She said it has taken him almost four hours without playing around to finish! Her son is really smart. I told her that was CRAZY and I would be talking to that teacher immediately. There is NO REASON to have that much work to bring home. She said this is a brand new teacher so maybe she doesn't know the ropes or how much work is appropriate:confused: Anyways, all that to say, this particular friend has said this year has started out tough for her fifth grader as well.

:iagree: We were willing to sell, work extra or do whatever to pay for this! After 7 months of therapy, all of my dd "reading problems" disappeared! I would do it all again in a heart beat!

Thanks! My children will be 3rd and 4th and they would be together which would be helpful if we ultimately decided to go this route. :001_smile:

Anyone?:bigear:
