MCT language arts: Convince me
LittleIzumi replied to Susan Wise Bauer's topic in K-8 Curriculum Board
The grammar didn't work for us (neither did FLL), but I love and use the poetry. It's gorgeous and really gives extremely deep insight into poetic methods naturally for young kids to grasp easily. -
It's been perfect for my math-phobic ADHD girl. It didn't work as well for my mathy kid. Mathy girl finished 200 and moved easily into Beast Academy. ADHD girl is starting CLE 400 and supplementing with BA 3 as well for concept ideas. And CTC. :p

Here several of the stores have almond butter machines, where it's just almonds inside and it grinds them when you turn it on. Ours has no CC warning and The Love has never had trouble with it, but he prefers Sunbutter anyway so he doesn't have it often.

Math games, ideas to help my very right brained 7 y/o dd
LittleIzumi replied to momsuz123's topic in K-8 Curriculum Board
Peggy Kaye's book "Games for Math." I got it for my ADHD VSL kiddo but they all love it. Very visual and intuitive games for math that are easy/quick to make (some just use the two of you or a white board, even) and use. -
I don't have any results yet, but The Drama should be going to a charter school 3 days a week next year (we teach math/English, the school teaches history/science/art/music/etc) while The Sponge will be staying home (a large reason is her ADHD as well). She has zero desire to attend school (she has briefly in the past). They have very different needs and in theory should thrive in their respective learning environments.

At least in our state, foster adoption is essentially free. It's a hard system to navigate, but not costly out of pocket.

Quite possibly the strangest reading worksheet I've ever seen
LittleIzumi replied to ravinlunachick's topic in The Chat Board
If it's this confusing for US, I can't imagine the poor Sp Ed kindy kids trying to learn to read from it. :( -
Mine seems a LOT better when using an oil-based soap. I hadn't even really paid attention, but it's been much much better since we started using olive oil soap as our main shower soap.

Do 11 month olds really throw temper tantrums???
LittleIzumi replied to JMDRAD's topic in General Education Discussion Board
It can totally be upset from his daddy being gone translated the only way a baby really can. -
Allergies: To test or not to test *UPDATE* (with questions)
LittleIzumi replied to Ann.without.an.e's topic in The Chat Board
Test. -
And the inability to filter/focus the sounds is an ADHD trait, so then you end up with ADHD kids who makes lots of noise and the cycle worsens. Eeep!
