On the Family Radio site he gives his reasons (adding up of dates, "clues" from the Bible. It's very....ummmmm.... Interesting:tongue_smilie:

We have a small schoolroom with our desks, computer, books, etc. Most of our day is spent in there. However, reading is done wherever they feel like it and our read alouds, history readings, and science reading are done on the couch. Oh, and Spelling is usually done on the family room floor because we use large whiteboards instead of paper (we use Sequential Spelling. For some reason the kids think spelling is much more fun this way:)

Maybe some critical thinking workbooks? I just bought Perplexors for my son. The Critical Thinking Company also has a ton of workbooks with logic type puzzles.

This is why I don't sign dd 4 up for dance:). She is in gym 3 hours a week and excelling. My mom is pushing dance, but I don't want to have to come to the point later where she has to choose one over the other. Too many decisions! Good luck. I would probably wait a year or two to see if a real preference develops.

:iagree:

I pre-purchased this for my dd at the Ohio convention. It looks great and we are excited to get it!!!

I've used Hooked on Phonics for two kids. Love it....quick and painless:)

Mine is the same way! I don't know why he hates it so much. Oh, and now he has decided he wants to pick the style. Which would be fine except that he thinks it looks good to put gel in it and slick his bangs to the side. As in glued down across his forehead. It looks SO bad. I try to convince him to do it differently, but he is convinced it looks good. I can't even explain how bad it really is:glare:

I've always just had it in my purse with prescription label attached. We fly a lot and have never been questioned.

Thank you! I will look into these! I wanted to add that, at least for us, our list looks long but we don't fo everything everyday. We do our core subjects, but things like music, geography, etc. are just once a week things.

Here's what I have planned so far: Math: CLE Math 3 Language: IEW Sequential Spelling First Language Lessons 3 Sonlight 3 readers Foreign Language: Prima Latina Science: Apologia (flying creatures) History: through tutorial w/ various texts Critical Thinking: Mindbenders *still deciding on which other to add Geography: A Child's Geography *we also meet twice per month with a group to study a new country by doing crafts, eating food from Tbe region, and doing presentations on geography and/or culture I think that's about it. I want to work in art or music appreciation somewhere. Ifnot, he will be doing art at tutorial so that's something:)

Oh, I can SO relate to this!! I thought my dd had finally "caught up" in math when, in reality, they had let her use a calculator all year in her special ed. class! This was for basic adding and subtracting in 2nd grade:001_huh: I brought her home and realized she had absolutely NO clue how to add even 1+1. She is now 14 and we have just now mastered single digit addition and subtraction. This may not seem like much, but she would have never gotten this far in school. It also shed some light on just how severe her learning disabilities are.

:iagree: This is what I tell my younger two about their older sister. And from a mom of a child on the spectrum, thank you for taking the time out to talk with your kids about understanding and having compassion for a child with disabilities:)

All of my paternal family is from Norway so they all have names like: Torger Olaf Bjarne Erik My maternal side is full of names I hope never come back: Evelyn (my middle name and I hate it) Doris Virgil Dorothy Corky (not a nickname. Seriously) Ethel Trella Lowell

Here's a really bad one. We used to sing: Milk, milk Lemonade Around the corner chocolate's made! Not bad until you consider the body parts we pointed to as we sang it:lol:

Traumatic delivery. She was stuck in the birth canal and finally came out (with shoulder dystocia) very blue. I didn't think she was alive. It was my first baby and the nurse actually got on top of me, straddled me, and began pushing on my stomach to get her out. I was only 18 and I remember thinking "Man, this is nothing like the deliveries I have seen in the movies!":lol: Anyway, she has sensory issues and is diagnosed with PDD-NOS.

Apparently my mom thought is was okay:tongue_smilie: I used to sing that when I was little. Except our ending went "but most if all he can kiss, kiss, kiss:lol: Not advocating it, just saying I sung it. As for the OP, yeah, not a great choice.

My dd is also very allergic to dogs. In fact, she was hospitalized last month for allergy induced Asthma after being around SILs pug. However, my parents have a "hypoallergenic" dog (1/2 shi tsu, 1/2 poodle) and we are over there all the time with no issue. Maybe that will be the case for you:grouphug:

:iagree: I've never heard anyone my age (33) use fast as a reference to anything risqué. Ever. I didn't even think of it as a reference to anything other than "sporty". I mean, the Nike swoosh is a pretty universal symbol for "sportiness". I think the swoosh puts the wording into context, if that makes sense.

Parent-forced. Mine do not seem to be inquisitive by nature.....unless it is regarding Lego's, a video game, or anything else not remotely related to education:tongue_smilie:

If my dh bought it, I'd wear it to a little league game. It would make him feel good and I am past the point of caring about what others think of my clothes.....:)

Enjoy your trip!! We were just there two weeks ago:)

Sent you a PM:)

All of my kids are spaced a few years apart....14, 8, and 4. They are all very close and get along well. The 8 year old and the 4 year old fight the mist often, but they play together the most often as well. I have found that my youngest is very mature compared with other 4 year olds. I attribute it to trying to keep up with her older siblings and their friends. In fact, she doesn't have any friends her age. They are all about 6:). I say go for it!

Not quite sure what's going on, but will pray for a positive outcome!
