    I'm just added bunches of boards to follow. You ladies have such good ideas!! Here's me... http://pinterest.com/Mert1234/

     

    FYI, for those who didn't want to share because of personal info on your Pinterest profile... You can change it. I wasn't going to add folks from my message boards at first so I used mine and my family members real names. It was very easy to go back and change it all.

     

    Also, someone mentioned that she didn't want to give out her info for us to follow her, but that she was following others. Anyone that you're following can see your whole profile.

     

    I'm having so much fun with this. At some point, I'm going to have to get off the computer and actually USE some of these great ideas!! :D

    May I see your curriculum plans for upcoming Kindergarten (K)?

    I haven't typed this out before now, but it'll be good to actually see what we have and what we might need.

     

    LA: Just finishing OPG, AAS 1 & probably 2, FIAR, practice/practice/practice reading, loosely using HWT.

    Math: Some combo of Singapore 1A/1B, Right Start A/B/games, MEP and Miquon. We're going to spread everything out on the table and make a decision at some point.

    Am History: We're not going to do a program... just read books about basic topics in some sort of chronological order based on Guest Hollow or some other book list and add in some crafty sort of things using the David C King books.

    Extra curricular activities: gymnastics, chorus (maybe?) and social skills play group.

    I'm going to do a year of Am hist with ds for kindy before we get started on SoTW the following year for 1st grade. For the most part we'll just be reading picture books: Adler, Fritz, Maestro, D'Aulaire, etc. with some crafts thrown in for fun (and pictures ;)).

     

    I'm looking for a chronological list to guide me through. I found one on Guest Hollow with great picture book suggestions, but I was wondering if there are others. I haven't checked Paula's archives as of yet... I'm sure she'll have something. Anyway, just wanted to ask you ladies. You always have the cool stuff!! :D

    s/o Baby Holders...Slings?

    Kangaroo Korner makes a lovely adjustable fleece pouch that is very user friendly. I'm sure there are other options on the market now as well if you want to check at TBW.

     

     

    I had several different slings and such, but my KK pouch was my fav and "go to". I was still carrying ds in it when he was 3 (just on my hip for a quick run into the grocery or the like), but it's still in great shape. Looks almost new still. I highly recommend!! :001_smile:
