  1. Look dark. Look tight. Check behind dressers. You wouldn't think there would be enough room but there is... Ask me how I know. 😉 Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk
  2. My kids are dedicated barefooters. Lol. They hate having to put on shoes outside especially my boy. I think he'd go to church barefoot if we'd let him. :laugh:
  3. That is very different, isn't it? I've been rolling these things around in my head. Was this traditionally how books like Ray's were used?
  4. I only recall my fourth grade teacher reading to us. She read a lot of books that year and all of us just adored her. She read the Fudge books and Ramona, but also things like Where The Red Fern Grows and Wait for Me, Watch for Me, Eula Bee. My favorite year of elementary school.
  5. We started reading them as a group last year but my eldest had read them on his own a couple of years earlier. My oldest 2 love them. My 5 yro doesn't always stay to listen.
  6. :iagree: Well written and memorable books draw the facts together with better understanding of the time period.
  7. I did this very thing. I had a bunch of pdfs I wanted to view more easily. I have been very happy with it. I love that it automatically switches to landscape mode simply by turning it. For me, it was a good decision.
  8. :iagree: My 9yro son loves the Basher books. He's asked for more for his birthday.
  9. :iagree: This is my plan as well. (Great minds think alike, Amy! ;))
  10. Have you seen http://www.confessionsofahomeschooler.com/u-s-geography?
  11. I'm missing ours due to being out of town. Bummer! :(
  12. Amy, I don't know that I'll help but this is very similar to what I've been planning for next year. I'd almost decided to follow the LCC guide but then I started looking at MP and felt that it was laid out very well and might work better for us. We've always schooled based on CM previously. I like the simplicity afforded by MP. I'm expecting our 4th in October and just don't have the confidence that I can get it all done. So I totally get how you feel regarding not reinventing the wheel. :iagree: I'm right there with you. I've purchased some of the items from MP and I don't really care for the workbooks either. I do like the maps that are included in some of them though. I figure to use the materials in a more CM way. Neither of my kids would endure the workbooks. One hates to write so I save it for the important stuff and the other is a late reader so her skills in that area aren't going to mesh well with them. I plan to include fairy tales and AO's literature and arts selections. I like your rain gutter bookshelves thought. I wish I had a place to put books that could guide the kids towards those Good Books. Ours are mixed in with everything else. All that is to say that I like your plans. :) I'm working on inputting mine all in HST so I can generate a daily list to work from. I think I'm gonna that guide. ;)
