If you can figure out a way to know what cards each child needs to review you can do that. Mine were too far apart in the curriculum so it wasn't worth the hassle for me. Your kids are closer in age, so it may not be so difficult for you. I always order from AALP because RR has been a nightmare for me and AALP will add box art if you put it in the notes part of your order.

We just moved at our old house it was 72 during the day 70 at night. In the new house it's 71 around the clock because I don't have a thermostat that I can program. I may swap them out soon so I can do that. I don't like to wear tons of layers in my house, so we like it warm enough to be comfortable in pants and a t-shirt. We also have a bearded dragon so keeping it set to low would require me to get extra heating items for her tank to keep it in the right range which would almost negate any savings from lowering the thermostat.

I didn't watch the first part but the 2nd part was on in the background last night. He said at the end that he did this for the 9/11 families. Many were at the museum when he donated some items to it and were very grateful for him talking to them afterwards about it. That is what he said was his motivation.
I can see how there are differing stories, just like there will be different versions of an accident because it all stems from each persons POV.
If we want to talk about breaking the code of silence, the President himself did that when he said the words, Seal Team 6, up until then they were a unit that 'didn't exist'

I have that book! I'm working on the Rose Ribs socks. I love and want to do the Almondine ones, also.
The Almondine socks are working up so pretty. Here's what they currently look like.

I'm not surprised they won't come pick up. I've never lived anywhere that allowed construction debris in a regular trash bin. You may have to pay someone to deal with it for you, but if you're doing construction you really need a dumpster.

We have always gone until after lunch, but that's because we didn't do any school in the morning until the last few years. We are not morning people. I don't even get my kids out of bed until at least 10am. When my older 2 kids were in the younger grades I didn't start school until 1 or 2 pm.
Now we start about 11 and end about 4.

I'm now working on a pair of Almondine socks from the book "Sock Knitting Master Class" with Stroll Tonal in Blue Wonder.

Well AAR is Phonics, so I'm not sure why you'd think it was only reading. As for Writing and grammar that depends on how old your kids are and what you think is the best age to start them. My youngest is in 3rd using AAR 3 and AAS 2 right now and we don't do grammar at all. His writing is simply writing the sentences from AAS and anything he chooses to write on his own. I have never done vocabulary in any formal way with any of my kids.

also there is not right or wrong method when it comes to Continental or English. I used to knit english because that's how all the "how to" books showed it when I was a kid, I was always too tight that way. Then when my daughter wanted to learn to knit she started knitting continental. Our teacher showed us both ways and said to pick which one was comfortable for you. She also taught us a few types of cast ons. I prefer long tail since most of what I do needs to have a little stretch on the cast on edge. I switched to continental knitting because of my daughter. I figured if I did it that way then if she needed help I would know what I was doing. I much prefer it, less hand fatigue for me that way. I also don't have the tightness problem with continental.
On a side note I finished the mitts I started a couple days ago.

Since I'm allergic to mold and thus penicillin, I will pass thanks. I'm not taking any chances.

I've never done Kitchner stitch. I have made a few pairs of socks, and always, always do the Two at a Time Magic Loop method Toe up with Judy's magic cast one and Jeny's super stretchy Bind off. I learned to do socks with a video PDF course on www.knittinghelp.com
I cast on for one of the set of fingerless mitts for my eldest 2 days ago. Today while he was getting his wisdom teeth out I managed to get the hand and thumb gusset done on this one. I should be able to finish it tomorrow and start on the 2nd one. Next time since this pattern doesn't matter which hand they go on as the pattern goes all around, I'll try them 2 at a time.
I'm using the Stroll Tonal Sock Yarn from KnitPicks in the Canopy Colorway. It's just gorgeous. He's going to love them.

I sent you a friend request over there. Thinking of charting 10 different letters is what has kept me from diving in on that one. LOL
ETA: I'm caffinated412 over there.
Friend request accepted. :) You might be able to find some cross stitch charts that would work, they are pretty simplistic letters

That's awesome! I'm so tempted to make those.
It was so stinking easy to make. They are meant to be baggie so they have a lot of forgiveness in size.
Because I used worsted yarn instead of what it's written for I had to follow the pattern a little oddly. I used the stitch count and decreases for the Adult L to get the width I wanted, and the Child L/Adult S instructions for length and letter placement. A friend and made one before with an A on it so she shared her letter chart with me since the pattern only had one for an H. She also gave me a tip of adding a few rows of seed stitch at the bottom to keep it from rolling up so much since it's not ribbed. The link the pattern in my Revelry notebook. I'm Nukeswife on Ravelry

I had the Knitter's Pride Dreamz and those are great, but my favorite interchangables are the HiyaHiya ones. I love the swivel cables. I have the metal ones and my 12 year old daughter has the bamboo, I knit socks a lot so I love the sharps, but she mostly knits hats and blankets so she prefers the wood. Also wanted to show the finished weasley sweater I made for her for Christmas. Not bad for my very first sweater ever.

I have been knitting for just about a year now. My daughter and I took a class back in VA before we moved. We're both hooked. I've done many dishcloths, and pairs of socks. I have never knit only one sock at a time. I used an online video class to learn to do two at a time with magic loop right away so I would never have to deal with 2nd sock syndrome. Right now I'm knitting a Weasley sweater for my daughter. Once that's done I'll start a pair of fingerless mitts for my eldest son. I have a small stash because I love just going and looking at yarn, but never manage to not come home with some. I just put in an order with KnitPicks for the yarn I needed for the fingerless mitts. I ended up with 6 skeins instead of the one I'll need. :w00t:

My husband just told me there has been nothing said to him at work about this.

I have 56 orders in the last 6 months, but I dint do subscribe and save, they never have what I'm looking for, and I'm right by a Costco a few times a month. My husband can also stop at the commissary after work now so it's much cheaper for him to go there most times.

My kids are weird, they get it from their parents. My daughter recently told my oldest son he was odd. His response, "so are you, we all are, consider the source."
garga, just wanted to mention that my oldest son, who is 15, wears a fez 90% of the time. He's a huge fan of the 11th doctor and got it for his birthday in May. It's become a routine part of his daily clothing, which could very likely be batman pajamas

I ordered some arthritis pills for my dog.

I searched and found this site which is what I think I used. This was a long time ago though. I always thought that picture was odd.

The level 1 student pack will have all the cards for level 1, not just phonogram and word cards. Those cards include phonogram, word, sound, and key cards. There is no student Book for any level of AAS. There are levels that will have word lists, a jail, prefix tiles, suffix tiles, and the Silent e book, but there is no such thing as an AAS student book.
AAR on the other hand does have a student book and only has phonogram and word cards.

My mom has brown eyes, my dad's were hazel, both had dark brown hair and were righty. I have brown eyes, am right handed, and got dark blonde hair (but it was jet black when I was born) my brother has hazel eyes, dark blonde hair and is a lefty.
I married a right handed man who was born very blonde with blue eyes (a lot of Norwegian in his family) everyone in my family is of polish decent by the way. Our kids...
Oldest got his dad's hair and blue eyes
Daughter got my hair and hazel eyes with one streak in her right eye that is the same brown that my eyes are.
Youngest son started out red headed with blue eyes. He's now blonde but kept his blue eyes.
They are all right handed
Another thing all say is odd is that my dad was O+, mom was B+, I'm AB+. And yes he is my dad biologically, even though everyone tells me that's not possible.

I had CP as a child really bad. I've also gotten shingles 3 times as an adult. The first time I was 18, then at about 20 and again at age 32. The last time I gave my eldest son (then 7) chicken pox even though he'd been vaccinated.

I even forgot to make a request once and posted that on their Facebook page. Later that day I got an email with a 'box art' picture I could print out for my son. AALP is an awesome place
