Some my boys liked were Geronimo Stilton (there are books and graphic novels), Zita the Space Girl and the Lunch Lady (not as colorful).

Is the kilgallon rec after wwe3 supposed to be middle school or elementary school? Thanks

Reading a variety of lit, history and science. McGuffey 5 for oral reading LA fll4, wrtr, cursive copy work, writing? Math mm3 and 4 Would like to start drawing with all three Piano lessons and swim team

Plan on longer days Monday, Wednesday and Friday, doubling up on what makes sense. Even breaking it up with two sessions, not all in one chunk. And/or schedule some math and reading in the evenings on Tuesday and Thursday. You could also have Saturday as a spillover day.

Hope you all make it there safely and in time.

So is it long strides or short strides???!!!

I like the Minerva idea! I just finished the Liberal Arts Tradition and plan on rereading it at some point. It was a lot to wrap my head around. Lots of redefining or resurrecting original definitions of terms and footnotes on most pages. I think my brain wasn't ready for it. Hoping a reread will make things easier. I definitely want to revisit it. I got The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen graphic novels from the library as well as a 'proper' book, Angelmaker by N. Harkaway. While I was at the library I also saw Rebecca, which someone mentioned in a previous thread and I am really enjoying it. I am also working through a collection of spanish stories, trying to revive what Spanish I have lodged somewhere in my brain.

Hmm, we just finished Friday and may take all of June off. Summer will at least be independent reading time, piano practice, math, catechism memory work and swimming. I'd like to do some U.S. History. Labor Day will take us to the east coast so it will be a nice end of summer/history tie in. Do you do any star watching in summer Hunter?

Ds (5) "When batteries die, do they go to heaven?"

Sorry, I didn't list most authors. Ice was by Sarah Beth Durst. It was ok, I had to push through to the end but if it is a favorite of yours you'd probably enjoy seeing how she reworks it...on the other hand you could really hate it!

So did they think you didn't realize your dd was missing out(you forgot to sign or send in slip), Or did they know you didn't want her evaluated and intentionally overrided anyway? Sounds like a heated situation to begin with, but it makes a difference if it was a misunderstanding or intentionally going against your will.

Chiming in a little late, but I have been keeping track of my books. So far my selections have been mainly children's lit that I hadn't read before as well as educational type stuff. Many shorter books, so I haven't read all that much. Fiction 1. Ice (YA snow queen retelling)...YA usually helps me get the reading ball rolling 2. Salsa Stories (kids-short sweet peek into a different culture by an older generation's stories based around foods) 3. Pedro's journal (kids-fictitious journal of a boy on Columbus' voyage. Pre-reading for my 9 y/o, decided to wait on this one) 4. House on Windy Hill (kids, a little creepy, liked it) 5. Midwife's Apprentice ( YA fiction, enjoyed the dialects and the story) 6. Kalevala (nice illustrated translation with verse interspersed) 7. Charlotte's Web (read aloud to the boys (9,7,5) cried) 8. Good-Bye Mr. Chips (cried a lot, wondered how much would go over a younger audience 's head) 9. The White Stag (Mythological beginnings of the Hungarians, ok) 10. Castle in the attic and battle for the castle(kids-my 9 year old loved these and I wanted to too, enjoyed) 11. The Canada Goose Quilt (kids, dealing with death and change, gently touching) 12. The Hundred Dresses (kids(people)can be cruel, even back in the day,some kids can surprise you with their strength and ability to forgive, others can change and learn from their mistakes). Good 13. Babe - (read aloud, good, watched the movie after) 14. Mr. Popper's Penguins-( silly, felt for the wife, and then he took off?!! Not to be taken too seriously though I guess) 15-16. Two collections of tales by Geraldine McCaughrean(I hadn't heard most of them and I realize I have no idea how to pronounce her name!) Non fic 1. No Diet Obesity Solution for Kids (not the magic bullet I was hoping for, though I think there is no magic bullet) 2. Last Things First(theology, looking at Genesis through the lens of the gospel and where the story was going, not through a scientific or historical lens. Helpful) 3. Real Homeschooling (education-collection of different family's unique homeschool experiences, good to see the variety) 4. Health Secrets of the StoneAge (kooky title, paleoesque, nothing new, lots of common sense stuff) 5. 1stgrade Diary-( Miquon book, I am trying to be a better math teacher) 6. The Joyful Homeschooler (I am trying to be a nicer 'teacher/mommy', lots of advice to relax I wish I could take) 7. Wilddays ( education, nature study) 8-9. Abeka's 4th grade U.S. History book and Story of the World 4 (a lot I didn't know) 10-11. Latin Centered Curriculum 1 and 2 (education, reread) 12. Tending the Heart of Virtue (education, power of literature in moral formation) 13. Knowing and Teaching Elementary Mathematics (took me a while to get through, I now know how much I don't know) 14-15. Family Worship and Family at Church (religious-little books I found helpful) Trying to finish the Liberal Arts Tradition by Clark and Jain. I think I'll need to reread this one. My mind isn't absorbing much at all, ugh. Does anyone have any steampunk recs for the June challenge? As far as I know I haven't read any in that 'sub-genre' (not sure what to call it). Something fun, a little romance wouldn't hurt. A little about my level/tastes-last year my favorites were Divergent and The Wind in the Willows. Enjoy reading through your posts eve though I don't comment often, Joanna

Hmm oldest will need fll/wwe 4, middle wwe2 student pages and youngest will be fine :). So I could maybe swing the 50 challenge.

My ob told my in his residency that the only time he saw a baby die was when it had gone too far overdue. He thought ideally babies would be born at thirty nine weeks. His motivation was in the interest of the baby. My second ob said he wouldn't let me go past 40, and my third ob just suggested we induce at 39. I don't know his motivation, but it seemed routine.

Here is the plan. We have five weeks left and will finish up quite a bit of our L.A. (wwe/fll/opg!!!) so that area will be lighter during the summer. Older two 9 and almost 8 June week off, vbs, swimming, math and reading July-Aug. math, cursive copy work, memory work, reading, map the world, probably spelling, swimming and piano lessons(maybe) End of Aug beginning of Sept. Two week trip to the east coast. Resume in the fall adding in next level of fll/wwe youngest(5) will start opg and listen in on readings Readings-continue a variety of lit and u.s./modern history We may start piano lessons and map the world now....still working out my plan
