I have two elementary kids in public, one homeschooled right now. My 4th grader is in public school is doing a lot of writing this year, a lot of strengthening various math topics that were introduced in 3rd like multiplication and division - at least in our area, the stuff under 4th grade math in Khan Academy lines up pretty closely with what they're doing. History in our area has been early explorers so far but I know that can also vary. You can usually see your state's standards online, if you're in the USA, to get an idea of where they might be. I've also never had a teacher complain if I ask what they're doing/what they've already covered - they're usually quite excited to show me ;) so if you can have a quick meeting with his new teacher, that might help you get an idea of what he'll be covering, too. It may take them a couple days to get him into the right reading groups, etc and he may be really tired that first week. :) Definitely give it a few weeks before deciding if it's working or not.

whoa. That is so not my thing for me...but I would happily participate in something like that. it must be awesome to have that many people who love you :001_wub:

That is definitely not the norm here (or anywhere else I've lived) Heck, when I had my 3rd, the billing was so separated, I actually had to pay for part of the hospital services as out of network because the audiologist who did his hearing test was out of network. Even though he was working at the in network hospital where I had my in network c-section with my in network OB. :glare:

Yep. and if you live where I live, you can't celebrate Halloween in school, but the December field trip is to a CHRISTMAS tree farm. :001_huh:

sounds like a migrane. Although they may want you to come in for a urine check etc just in case.

hope your appointment went ok today? :grouphug:

As a graduate from GMU, I am :rofl:

I was going to suggest the nuvaring too.

We're moving to Hart county in a couple of weeks...anyone know of any hs groups anywhere over that way? Or around Athens? DD is 5...we're going to be starting kindergarten with her in December and see how she does. We originally were holding her back and not going to start until next fall but plans change and all that :tongue_smilie:

c'mon out, little guy!!

This. if you're a store manager or security guard, you know who regularly shoplifts from that store and who doesn't. And plenty of shoplifters have children or babies. A common way for some people to shoplift is to tuck small things into the basket of their stroller, for instance. :glare:

I work part time (30 hours a week) but my husband works full time. His salary is calculated at $xx.xx for the first 40 hours and then time and a half for the next 12 hours that he's supposed to work every week, bringing him up to 52 hours a week that he's actually paid for. Realistically it will be more than that very soon (he's about to open a new store - he's a retail manager.) And any hours after 52 will be unpaid since he's salaried. With that said, at 60+ hours a week we start really feeling it. 52 is manageable though.

My job requires me to alphabetize all the time, to keep people's records in order.

or they could be a foster parent and be using their foster child's food stamps. which is totally legit, as long as you're buying food for the child.

so true. :lol:
