I actually stumbled across this last night quite by accident. I watched it and was very surprised. It was interesting, but I am one of those moms who do not allow too much of interaction with the digital world. I would love to hear other moms thoughts on this, but I am not convinced my kids need to go digital now if they are going to make it in the new world.

http://www.homeschoolshare.com/little_house_in_the_big_woods.php not sure if this is what you are looking for, but it looks like you may enjoy it and it's free!

I would never want to leave my TEXAS! North Carolina was nice for a visit (we lived there 2 years) but Texas is home!

:lurk5: Just wondering where to find the diet that goes with this as well.

I will be watching this as well. Both my girls have this problem. Even the elastic band in the waist just scrunches up the material so they can wear a belt, but then it looks really bad, and I am not even one to care too much about looks and style. :tongue_smilie:

Would you get him to send me a tutorial?? ;) I can't figure out how to get movies on my computer to download onto my son's ipod touch for him. :confused:

My 2 favorite math programs are Singapore and Life of Fred.

Glad to know they are just as nice in person as they are on the computer! :D

The books do have some scenes that are disturbing, however, MFW will always warn you of the upcoming content so you can be aware it is there, and decide how to handle it.

I just wanted to pop in here and sing the praises of the Biblioplan customer service team. I had emailed them a question about their program and not only were they helpful, they went above and beyond anything I have ever experienced. If you are on the fence about one of their products, the customer service alone is reason to buy from them. :D

Does Biblioplan schedule Trial and Triumph? What are some of your favorite books from this year if you do not mind sharing.

http://www.homeschoolinthewoods.com has a cool unit study called Time traveler that you might want to check out. It looks really good.

Thank you! :001_smile:

Why can I never find all that when I search? :D Thank you!

study by http://www.homeschoolinthewoods.com/ ? I was thinking of how fun this looks, but wondering if it really is as good as it looks. Anyone here really use it? How much prep time does it involve? It looks like print and go for the most part. I am not a good "fun" mom, but I wanted to add some of that in this year. We will be doing year 3 with Biblioplan - or core 3 and core 100 (borrowed and put together used)- I can't decide. :confused: So if you have any advice on that while you are at it, I'll sure listen. :bigear:

Sounds like All through the Ages by Christine Miller http://www.nothingnewpress.com

Yep, I remember you too. That may not count for much, since I am not very vocal, but I have been around since 1st edition of WTM as well.

Thanks for clearing that up for me. I will have to take another look at this book now. ;)

I tutor in my home several afternoons a week. I also offer homeschool history and science classes in my home once a week.

Several people have said there is no sexuality, so am I thinking of another book that has 2 little girls being sent home from school because integration was just announced and one almost gets r*ped by a truck of white boys? :confused: If it was a different book I apologize, but I thought when I was previewing this book a few years ago, that I did not read it to my children then because of this issue. They were all under 10.

There are jumping Jacks, butt kicks, jump ropes (w/o the rope) for your cardio. She has lunges and side lunges and squats as part of strength. I do know that the higher the levels are, the more high intensity it is. She calls it plyrometrics I think, but I am sure that is not the way to spell it! I would go to youtube and search for them and watch them and see if it is something you can do. I believe it is on sale at Amazon for $9.

Thanks! How did I forget to check Paula's? :confused: I also discovered that Biblioplan does this. So I am going to look closer at it and see if it is what I am looking for.

That combines SOTW 3 and a History of US or Landmark History of the American People. Of course I would prefer free, but will pay a reasonable amount.

With all the rave reviews I would like to try it, but I can't see spending so much of my budget on just trying it.

I was also thinking of using Analytical Grammar. I looked at the samples and it looks really good. I just hope it is not too teacher intensive so that it will get done.
