[Help scheduling Singapore Challenging Word Problems Book 1]

Is there a nice chart somewhere that shows which pages in the new edition CWP 1 correlate with the topics in Singapore 1A and 1B?

 

Thanks!

[Help me pick a new math for ds7]

I use R&S until each child is ready for Saxon's 5/4 book. I personally don't care for the Saxon grade 1-3 books. They are thorough enough, I just prefer the straight forward nature of the R&S.

[Help me pick a new math for ds7]

I like Rod and Staff and Saxon Math for just the reasons you stated. I have never used BJU.

[My vet just charged me...]

I'd ask them to waive the fee today since you just paid it yesterday.

 

:iagree:

[I started my weight loss efforts yesterday.]

I just started Atkins with "The New Atkins for a New You" book on Monday and I am already down 3.5 pounds. I have 40 pounds to lose to be a healthy BMI.

 

Good Luck Everyone!

[What to see in Southern MN, Northern IA & NorthWestern IL?]

Amish country around Harmony, MN is fun. You can do a tour of farms. There are also some caves around this area that you can tour.

[Ds has chosen, now do I need the TM?]

I don't have an answer for you, because I have been looking at this for my son too. However, CBD.com has the set for $27.99, that's only a couple of dollars more than the student book alone. I would say go for the set :)

[Ear piercing?]

Oldest dd had no desire to have pierced ears until she was nearly 15. Youngest dd is a princess in training and begged to have them done at 6. Basically dh and I waited until each girl REALLY wanted it done.

[HOD: Started Bigger Hearts this week!!]

This is our first year with HOD too. We are doing Preparing and Beyond. We are LOVING both. I can't believe I used to think I wouldn't like a planned curriculum. We moved just a few weeks ago, and I chose HOD for simplicity, but we are loving this year more than any other! I am already looking to next year and thinking of having my high schooler use REV 2 REV slightly modified.

 

Glad you all are so happy too!

[Gift for 16 year old girl]

My 14yo dd loves Bath and Body Works. She particularly likes their wallflowers.

[Opposite gender siblings sharing a room..]

My 10 year old son and 5 year old daughter share a room and probably will for another year or so. They still love it :D.

I plan to switch things up before my son turns 12.

[In need of a good diet book/program]

I *LOVE* Atkins. The new book is great! Atkins also has a very useful website.

[Tell me this is normal... 8 yo pees in his trashcan]

This thread is making me feel so much better. :tongue_smilie:

My son also did this when he was eight and I was too embarrassed to tell anyone :lol: Now, I'm adding it to my "Disgusting but Normal Things Boys Do" list.

 

Thanks hive!
