    Thanks everyone. The mystery is solved. It is the issue of it not being bold to me because I have read it but it did show up bold when I hadn't. So verdict it is automatically bold. Thanks everyone for your help in solving that. lol;)

    50 states co-op?

    in K-8 Curriculum Board

    Posted

    We started a 50 state co op last session. We are scrapbooking each state with stickers, stamps, pics, and drawing important things about the states and we also did a 2nd class where they learned their States & Capitals, we used games we made up like family feud, and wow what amazing results. So good we ended up giving every student a trophy. We are continuing the scrapbooking of the states until all 50 are done. The real blessing is the kids do not want to stop this class. Good luck and have fun with it they learn a lot that way.

    Best price and quality for Large three ring binders

    in K-8 Curriculum Board

    I need to put my TOG Year 4 with plastic sheet protectors in binders. They are THICK and heavy! Can you recommend a place or website to buy good price and good quality store? Office Depot, Office Max, Target, or Walmart? Also what size should I get? Thanks!

    Staples also has a Teacher Appreciation day and you get great deals. For example this year paper is .01 limit 5 but teachers can get 20. I keep my state homeschool card with me and you can register online or by phone and set up a staples reward account and have them set you up as a teacher. Doesn't take much time and well worth it. Ours is Aug. 11th starting at 9am. Good luck hope it helps, They usually have binders, notebooks, pencils etc. that you would need for unbelievable prices that day.:D

    $4.95 for a full year of curriculum

    I actually paid full price for this almost a year ago before I started reading about CM and then TWTM. The curriculum does seem pretty decent and this deal is good. Complete Curriculum has received a good review on Cathy Duffy's site.

     

    Can you print out ebooks tm and student for whatever digital subjects and grades you pick instead of using the computer. I thought since you had used it already you would know. Thanks for your time.

    Could it be that he wasn't really trying? Or maybe he didn't understand he was being evaluated?

     

    I would think if he was really at a low level in math or reading it wouldn't be a surprise. Has he been working at grade level in math? If he has been then I would think there was something wrong with the assessment.

     

    I hope someone else an give you better answers or ideas.

    Well the president told me some kind of tech. problem happened with his assesment and looks like he would start at 5 grade level on everything but I knew he was behind and looking and the scope for 5th he doesn't know some of the stuff. They said I could redue my account and have him do the assessment again or start out at level 5 and see if it is to easy or hard. He hates taking assessments but I really want to know exactly where he is at. I didn't think in a million yrs it would be that low but if it is I want to know. What should I do. I am in a panic mood right now can't even sleep.

    Even if you haven't done this please give me feed back. Has anyone ever done K2 learning on line? I am doing the 14 day trial period and my ds just done his assesment and it said lower 1st in math and k-3rd on some reading and 4 and above on others spotlight on phonics. Wow what have I been doing for the last 4 yrs. Where have I messed up so badly. I don't feel like I am doing any better than public school. He passed his P.A.S.S. test with some low's but average in each subject. I am so lost I don't even have words for how I am feeling.:confused::angry::banghead:

    Saxon math or Teaching Textbooks for dd12?

    in K-8 Curriculum Board

    Posted

    I have used all kinds of Math programs including TT and Saxon and I mean about 7 different ones. I have found Math Mammoth works for us and I have held on to my Saxon, so I think either one would work depending on your child. My ds would freak out at first with the total number of problems with Saxon. He is doing MM by himself and no complaints so far. lol

    Losing temper with your children during schooltime?

    She's missing the big picture in a big way, I'm afraid. If yelling is all that does it, she'll always have to yell.

     

    But later, that will fail. Because when the kids get to be as tall as Mom, they tend to just look at you with a "WTH" kind of expression and ignore you when you act crazy. She needs another layer to the relationship with her kids, where she understands them and they want to please her. Easier said than done.

     

    All of my four children are boys. The older three are very close in age. Charlotte Mason really saved me as I was learning how to do this: Her concept of short lessons with undivided attention is just spot-on, IMO. Better to have three awesome minutes of total concentration than half an hour of poor attention and disrespect. Make those three minutes really count, not just how to focus on the lesson but how to appropriately respond to Mom/Teacher. Then slowly increase the duration of the lessons.

     

    Maybe your friend would benefit from reading some CM?

     

    Wow that was some good advice!!! Thanks for sharing. What a truth!!! How much do they really get even in PS and you know when you are both upset no one is learning.:iagree:

    I heard that they have something like what I am looking for. I found xtramath but it keeps causing errors and I would like something like that for both math and la or just for that site to work. I really need to find some kind of assessment that will give me a report and I need it free. Thanks I hope to hear more responses.
