Can anyone recommend a computer based curriculum for grade 5-10. I would like a program that has automatic grading. Need a little brake next year.

We're still using the Wise Guide to Spelling. It seems to be working for us.

We have seperate accounts. This helps because we can see what each of us is spending and on what. I use my account mostly for homeschooling trips and extras. My husbands account is mostly for paying bills.

Thank you so much for this. Is there a way to save your post?

We do not supplement TT. I do not feel that there is a need to supplement at this time. We are using TT 4-6. Not sure if we will supplement the upper grades.

My kids are loving teaching textbooks for math. It has made my year so easy so far. Can anyone recommend a Language Arts program along the same lines? They are in 1st -- 9th. Thanks.

We loved it!

Could someone please help me explain how to solve this problem to my kids. Thanks. Sandy typed a six-digit integer, but the two 9s she typed didn't show. If 2010 appeared, how many different positive six-digit integers could she have typed? One such integer to include is 920910. Answer: 15

Any ideas for some fun activities for Homer Price. The kids are mixed ages but mostly 4th - 6th. Thanks. Karen

Can't believe you adopted again. Would love to see a photo of your beautiful family. If you would like please send me one at khermann@optonline.net. Glad all is well with you. Our younger adopted daughter is doing great academically but our older one seems to struggle. Hope to hear from you again soon.

I'm going to look into these. I'm not familiar with any of these programs. She can't spell at all but reads pretty well. But her comprehension is horrible. Thanks for the info.

Just ESL.

I was wondering what everyone would recommend for High School for a child that is behind. She was adopted two years ago from Ukraine and is still struggling with reading comprehension and can't spell at all. We have started with Math-U-See this year and plan on moving as quickly through the books. She is almost done with Gamma and should be able to finish Delta and at least start Epsilon this year. I was mostly looking for language arts suggestions and a vote of confidence that keeping her home for High School is the right choice. I would love to provide enough to help her catch up and possibly attend a community college but I am feeling like we just don't have enough years left.

Who? What? I am planning on going to CHAP.

What is the one thing you can't wait to purchase for next year? Getting my list ready for a convention. Thanks.

My dd has one and she ate just fine on the way home from the dentist. We just brush it. I've found that a friends kid "milks" ever dental appointment. I'm sure it's a little uncomfortable but she should be eating with no problems by now.

There is a family on my son's little league team that we know from when we used to do karate. Their son is very nice and came over last week for a play date. (8 yrs. old) Now the mother wants to have my kids over to play. The problem is she is a little rough around the edges to put it nicely. I don't know what to do because my kids want to go and I don't want to come across like I'm better than her but.... I really don't want my kids there. So what would you all do????

I am thinking about switching over to MUS next year. Any pro's / con's???

IEW Student cd's A. My daughter has started to love to write because of this program. Huge spelling jump too due to all the writing.

I have always used FLL but thought Simply Grammar would be a nice change.

The intro says 9 / 4th grade. I was wondering if anyone has used this with a younger child?

We went to the LSC in NJ a few weeks ago and I snapped this photo before they started a science experiment. Thought some of you might like to take a look. It was a real fun day. http://www.carinforseven.typepad.com

should say user name

Is there a list of what appears after peoples user names and what they stand for? Thanks.

I just checked out your blog. Maybe you could help me with something. I would love to knit this sweater in a size 10 on circular needles. Could you help me??? http://www.lionbrand.com/patterns/khs-hoodsweater.html?noImages=0
