  5. A lot of my 4th graders work is independent. I have started giving her a checklist at the beginning of each week. All work is due Friday. She likes being able to sit down and do a whole week of science (Evan Moore Daily) at one time. The only thing I really do with her is math, because she tends to rush through and give up instead of ask for help. As a family we are doing Adventures in America, so that is on her planner, but she's not responsible if it doesn't get done. The only thing she can't do ahead is reading. She has to read for at least 20 mins a day. Reading for an hour 1 day doesn't allow her to check off 3 days.
  6. I'm still reading, and can't figure out multiwuote on my phone... I never thought of it like this, but now that I am, I have similar memories as a child (mother and aunt) Applying it to my own life, I have followed my mother, and now wonder if my children feel as you and I did. Thanks for giving me a different perspective!
  7. We decided to drop full science curriculum. At this age I don't think there is a need to go deep into content , but to spark interest. My kids are loving Evan Moore daily science. They can do it independently in about 5 mins a day. We also watch the magic school bus and I got watching guides from teachers pay teachers for five bucks.
  8. Also curious why you don't just go...
  9. We also have a code word that I give to other grow ups if they have authorization to enter or take them.
  10. My 9 and 7 year olds stay home occasionally for less than an hour. Rules are: No stove. No baths/showers. Keep doors locked, don't answer door. Stay inside (with the caveat that if they feel the need to check in with the neighbors for whatever reason, they text from the neighbors phone).
  11. citationmachine.net. IME you name the lead author and then et.al.
  12. If you don't have an address/phone number they can't take a full report.
  13. Around here it's always td. When I asked about it previously the doctor didn't even know what I meant.
  14. Story of the world is not secular to me.
