  1. Thank you. I'm not the OP here but I have had a very trying day and this was just what I needed to hear.
  2. So wait, it would just be one day a week? Can you tell us more about the program and how it would change homeschooling and life in general for you?
  3. Battery operated fan and carbonated beverage.
  4. We plan on eltl 3 for my fourth grader bit are sticking with the spelling for now. Haven't used it yet, so idk!
  5. I have had it say delivered and it shows up the next day.
  6. If it is a needle aspiration biopsy, she will be sore for maybe 2 days. During the procedure she will be supported by pillows with her neck tipped back to make accessing the thyroid safer and easier for the surgeon. She won't have any contrast and they will numb her and use an ultrasound to guide them.
  7. We will be alternating some LA twice a week. Harcourt one day and EM another day. When I'm satisfied with her reading comprehension, I will drop it. Everyone has asked for more art, so I am trying to be deliberate about it this year. It's going to take priority instead of a back seat.
  8. I'm planning on having her do 1 passage a week for the reading comprehension. I don't know if it's an issue or not. Sometimes it seems like it is, but it could be laziness or disinterest. With her free reading, she can never seem to tell me anything about the book. If she does well I will not make her continue. This is our first year moving beyond spelling/LA and math as formal subjects. She had a desire to attend high school, so I want to expose her to as much as I can before we get there. It's always been very important to me that lack of math not hold her back from sciences she is interested in. We did a NASA engineering club that she absolutely loved. Hence the focus on math. We are using Amanda Bennett unit studies on government and 2016 election.
  9. Science: Mr. Q earth, chemistry and physics. We are blowing through a chapter a day with open book tests on Fridays. I don't expect deep, and know it is "light." I am hoping for discussions, finding interests and just a broad overview. She will also do a nature study and engineering club. Social Studies: Election unit study, state studies and US history. History using The Complete Book of US History, Children's Encyclopedia of American History, Heroes of American History, Outline of US History and various literature. Tween Tribune for current events. Health: Human body book Art: 2-3 projects per week designed by me and focused on their interests. Little theory, mostly hands on. Music... No clue Logic: count down, then lift off. Math: Math Mammoth through 6B. This will take us to the end of April. I can't decide if we should do something before starting 7A since there will be summer break only 1 month after starting. Spelling: We are remediation. She does 2 lessons per week and will finish half of 6 by finished not the year. I will have her work through summer to finish 6. Reading Comprehension: EM Comprehension 6 Grammar: Harcourt Language Arts. She has had very little grammar exposure and I thought doing this before ELTL would help her. Writing... Undecided. Looking at Brave Writer Online (possibly too pricy) and Write at Home. I also have "It Fell From the Sky Middle School Writing Prompts" that looks promising for my reluctant writer. I will be doing ELTL with my younger two, and wonder how that would fit and if I should drop anything in its place. Feedback please.
  10. Mine said "complete" for well over a week. Never said shipped, no tracking info. Just appeared.
  11. It does wonders for my pain and depression/anxiety. Began for ppd after baby 1 and used through the last 2 pregnancies as wel with no ill effects. Withdrawal does suck and I have resigned myself to probably take it the rest of my life for that reason.
  12. I would say keep them home. Reach out, slow down and make expectations clear.
  13. In one sitting? In one day? If it matters these are going to be history books. Some fiction, some non-fiction. Kids are 7/9/11.
  14. does she have emphysema or another form of COPD?
  15. I just gotta say I had 2 pain free births with hypnobabies. At times I was profoundly uncomfortable, but never in pain. I can share my stories if you want in another thread. As for the lies... I'll be right back. (Never returned). Morning sickness will go away. (It didn't). Miscarriage is normal. (Not 6 of them). I'll never hit you again. (He did. Eventually I left). See you in 5 minutes... (2 hours later). You're going to feel some pressure... (Pressure my arse). If you would just spank them they would ________. If you can't pump you aren't producing enough. Your kids are too attached. They'll never _______. Oh so many more, and I've heard so many of the ones you guys have shared.
  16. Thanks, I think she would get bored without more variety. Hoping others chime in.
