My 3yo does the Core Knowledge PreK book only because she wants her own work and the activity books are very open-and-go. My older two did not do anything formal and didn't suffer because of it.
I love the Core knowledge stuff. Simple, complete, cheap. My little man loves having something for him to do like the big kids. I don't bother with handwriting or anything since it seems to work itself out...and he is my only leftie.

"PV and PT" - I like this. Can we throw in "PJ" for positive juju?
Okay but we need to shorten it. How about PVJ&T?
-
Seriously. Somewhere I read that you have powers of prophesy....
If you do please let me know if it is going to snow here tomorrow. I really need a nice snow fall and was going to request some PV and PT(positive vibes and positive thoughts).

I would like to thank Audrey with all my pagan heart. She has been so helpful in answering questions and getting me on a path I feel comfort and acceptance in. It is truly a blessing to have her in my spiritual life.

Two of our 3 were simple one phase cases. A third was very complicated, two phase, crossbite, congenitally missing teeth, extractions, expander, exposures... Easily $20K by the time all is said and done (thankful for very good insurance, else we could not afford it). However, what we did do averted the need for jaw reconstruction.
So yeah, some cases are tougher than others. But I am also raising an eyebrow at how often I hear that 8 year olds with apparently basic cases are going in for two phase treatments.
Yes! In some case treating early is the only option. If an expansion is needed the window on doing that closes and then you are stuck.

We pay $6500ish for braces and it doesn't matter how many appliances they out in the mouth. An overbite is not about looks. If the front teeth are not aligned then the back teeth aren't and the molars will wear wrong and the teeth will crack and become compromised down the road. I cringe when I hear people talk about it being just for looks. Orthodontics is about alignment and care for teeth. Looking great is the happy side effect of your teeth being aligned. Once the wisdom teeth move in it will get worse if it isn't taken care of. My younger DD has had 4 baby teeth extracted because in the xrays you can clearly see that the permanent teeth are turning in the gums due to crowding. Now that that is done the change has been remarkable. Fun? no Expensive? yes Worth it to think that as an adult they will look great? Absolutely

Bravewriter.
New Pope. Old Pope. Meh. Don't care.
Ex-Catholic.
I am totally over religious people getting their knickers in a twist when they hear non-religious people giving their (uncensored) thoughts.
If it offends, don't read...
Coursera is a great free resource for high school.
But...but we are wrong. If you are a kind and just person I don't care if you worship a rock. If you are a judging, defensive, and vindictive person who cannot accept other viewpoints then you are...well you know. Having been raised in a church I can recite most of the service, Rite 1 and 2, and I can say with all honesty that chanting something like the nicene creed literally makes my skin crawl. I seriously have gone over and over it in my mind and it feels so empty and brainwashy. I feel bad for my parents who are life long servants of the church. Now have really gotten the short end of the deal in their parish with the running off a very good priest and the insertion of a nasty s.o.b. Money talks there just like anywhere else. Who else can front the money for a new $100K organ? Old money-but with it comes long strings. So corrupt under the pretense of good.

I was waiting for ChocR to pop by on that one. The night's still young.
See my ????

I know his father's been unwell. He is probably occupied with that and life in general. I hope he is well. He is missed.
I wondered where that thread would have gone or if he would have played nice

WE got it-3 different topics. Hate it. We stopped using it and I am letting her do Mr Q for fun and supplementing with other stuff. I have 2 unused workbooks sitting here :glare:
-
Where has Bill been?
-
Oh, there's free stuff for high school there. Thank you!
Yes not everything but the vocab, grammar, and spelling are. I printed the vocab and spelling and am using my circa discs to make a notebook for her. She loves that stuff.
-
I am going to try Jot it Down for my 6 year old but not sure about the rest of it. I may just outsource it for my own sanity. You can get it 50% off at homeschoolbuyerscoop

noooooo I don't see it. Stellaaaaaaaaaaa
-
What microscope??? I am perplexed.
-
I don't have experience with either but I've heard good things about Bravewriter. I wish I had the money to try IEW because I have a dyslexic 13 year old that is clueless when it comes to writing. Sonlight LA is not working. :/
I have Student Writing Intensive A that you can have for $50 shipped. Might work well. I had my DS son do it when he was in 5th and he hated to write but learned a lot. I am not using it so I need to unload.

this is the site for the free Glencoe stuff but it is only for grades 6+
-
They do IEW classes since I can't stand teaching writing lol. I think I will try her on the free Glencoe stuff and see how that works. I am going to get the stuff for my 1st grader since I just dropped Phonics Road.

Ladies I need help deciding between Bravewriter and the growing with series....they do IEW but my oldest is a terrible speller and PR did not help
