Well, now you've got me pulling out my books to sell. 🙂 How about just using free clip art? I just found a generic picture from classroomclipart.com, & it seems to work. Then just list one or all of your books in the body of the advertisement.

It doesn’t seem like the Classifieds are as active as they used to be. However, I wish it were more active as this is my preferred place for buying used items. If I don’t find materials here, I search homeschoolclassifieds.com, eBay, and Amazon used books. I (selfishly) hope you list your items here!

Road trip activities
domestic_engineer replied to 4KookieKids's topic in General Education Discussion Board
Seconding the pipe cleaners idea. Get a HUGE bag (300-500) of different colors. If you’re doing any night driving, glow sticks (with all the connectors) are fun. I’ve read that you could take aluminum foil for the kids to mold. -
Engineers here? degree question
domestic_engineer replied to TwoEdgedSword's topic in The College Board
If he wants to get a Masters, it'd be excellent to have done some undergrad research. That would be another lens to use when comparing the schools that offer a BSME vs a BS. My guess would be that the BSME schools would offer more research opportunities to undergrads (both in quantity and variety); but that's just a guess. (I vote for a BSME.) -
What about listening to light Podcasts - like Car Talk or Wait, Wait Don’t tell me. Or rewatching shows that you’ve seen before - Seinfeld or everybody loves Raymond or Gilmore Girls

Maybe old Jeopardy episodes on Netflix?

The South Bend airport is a regional airport and thus not large. Google it to see images, check out the satellite view on Google maps, or check out the Terminal map to see how not-large it is. It will be a good opportunity to do something "for the first time." You've got this!

Non-Fiction Audio Books
domestic_engineer replied to kalusignan's topic in General Education Discussion Board
Bumping this old thread in search of more elementary-age, nonfiction audiobooks. We recently listened to Lincoln's Grave Robbers by Sheinkin; it was so-so and probably better for upper elementary. -
yes! I've been pre-reading Magic Lens, and whew! I think it's going to double as a "learn-how-to-learn" course. Thankfully the jump for the other kiddo from Island to Town won't be much. It's good to hear that running 2 levels of MCT is doable. I was wondering, originally, if anyone combined the different kids and let the lowest level kid drop off before you dig deep (sort of how it's like to do Moorning Time with a large age spread). But it seems like no one is doing it this way. I think this combination-method might lose the simplicity and clarity of MCT's presentation.

You could try massaging your sinuses like in this video:

Audiobook for Dad and 9-year-old girl
domestic_engineer replied to shawthorne44's topic in General Education Discussion Board
Another idea for you .... Echo by Pam Munoz Ryan is great as an audiobook. (Similar to the Little House audiobooks, there is music in the background that makes it more special.) Or... what about podcasts? DH will tolerate listening to Smash Boom Best, Brains On!, Forever Ago, and Circle Round with us. Noodle Loaf is a bit wacky for adults, but sometimes you need that on a road trip. -
Audiobook for Dad and 9-year-old girl
domestic_engineer replied to shawthorne44's topic in General Education Discussion Board
Peter Nimble by Auxier (and the sequel Sophie Quire) Bark of the Bog Owl by Rodgers (and its two sequels) Call of the Wild by London was a surprise success Green Ember by S.D. Smith Homer Price by McCloskey (and the sequel Centerburg Tales) Freddy the Pig books by Brooks The above have all worked for our family. Perhaps Incorrigible Children of Ashton Place? My kids love it, but DH hasn't had the opportunity to listen to them. -
There are lots in that time period. I'd prioritize from looking at the booklist and then see what's available via audiobooks. (Don't forget your library may have some options too.) Here are a few ideas to get you started ... Witch of Blackbird Pond The Hiding Place Seaman (OK, but not great) Fever 1793 Rush Revere books Johnny Tremain Extra Credit by Clements ETA: The following are EXCELLENT as audiobooks: Echo Little House series

Has anyone done multiple levels (elementary, middle school, high school) of the Killgallon books? Is it worth it to do it at each level? We've done nearly all the elementary books; is there much to be gained by doing the middle school books, too? (You can get 30% off + free shipping on the Killgallon books at their Publisher's site. Use coupon code TAW19. Good until 5/12/19, 11:59 PM ET)

If you had to stop and see one thing along I-70
domestic_engineer replied to Farrar's topic in The Chat Board
There's a interactive Percussion Instrument Museum in Indianapolis. It's by no means a "must-see", but if you wanted to stop in the Indianapolis area, it's something. The St. Louis Botanical Garden is nice. Perhaps search for other botanical gardens along the way? -
If you had to stop and see one thing along I-70
domestic_engineer replied to Farrar's topic in The Chat Board
Another vote for the City’s Museum for the ONE thing to do along I-70 But another suggestion would be Connor Prairie near Indianapolis; similar to Williamsburg, it’s a living history museum set in the 1800s. -
Where can I find cargo shorts for girls.

Remediating spelling for dyslexic adult
domestic_engineer replied to Paz's topic in General Education Discussion Board
Or have them enter it into her phone directly - either as a Note or into her address book --- or just as a voice recording/memo. To practice, perhaps google "dictation practice" and choose a site.
