[How many days do you do Kinder?]

We did 3-days for K and Pre-K.

[Timed math tests?]

Here is a simple one online. I don't know of any that can be printed, but I'm sure they are out there.

 

ETA: I do have link! LOL Here ya go. This one looks nice you can change the parameters for various level.

[S/O If you don't want to mummify a chicken]

My son would love that show! I don't think we have NGC on our cable list, I'll have to check. Maybe Hulu for us too.

[Starting a 3rd grader in WWE]

Not sure if my experience is of help, but I started my 2nd grader on FLL this year at level 1. That's a tough with a 3rd grader though. If she has already had grammar, I would think she would be bored with the first level. We are on lesson 55 and so far have covered nouns (common and proper), pronouns and are doing action verbs. We have been able to speed through it pretty fast. I'm waiting on the text for WWE from the library, but I plan to start WWE 2 once we reach the second level and have him caught up by 3rd grade. I would try to get a copy of the text from the library and start both at the same level based on the evaluation.

[mummified chicken]

LOL you ladies are brave. :D

 

 

:iagree:

 

I read that project to my husband and we both had the same reaction! "lets skip that one" LOL I promised my son we would flood the Nile, but grass seed has sky-rocked here, so that never happened either.

[Hello, Another newbie to this forum]

Just wanted to say Hi and introduce myself. I'm homeschooling my 7, just about 8 year old ds. This is our 4th year homeschooling and I finally read WTM over the summer. I wish I would have read it sooner! But it is what it is. We are speeding through FLL and are over halfway through 1st grade. I'm planning on starting WWE 2 once we get to 2nd grade in FLL, which I hope will be after our Dec break. I think I have everything else down in my sig line so I won't repeat myself. ;)

 

I look forward to joining in on some threads!

[Dumb question of the day re SOTW]

Good question, I'm glad you asked it.

 

Of course at the rate we are moving we'll be lucky to get through the series once by 8th grade. ;)

[Teen & cell phone driving me nuts (Xpost)]

:iagree: With Laurie4b as well. You have to slowly lengthen the leash and even sometimes push them to stretch it so they can learn to handle things on their own. I have a 19 year old away at college and never (even through her younger teen years) had a problem with her until she was home from college for the summer. We lengthened that leash and she tripped, but learned a valuable lesson. Because of that I now have even more faith in her making wise choices while she is so far away!

 

So, bottom line, relax! Trust your son, you don't have to know everything that is going on in his life! More importantly it wouldn't be healthy for him if you did! Even good kids need their secrets. ;)

[Hello, I wanted to introduce myself]

I just joined the WTM forums and found this group. I homeschool my 2nd grade son and started using First Language Lessons and SOTW with him this year. We are from the Vancouver area. Look forward to getting to know some you.
