WTMindy, you can just set a ziploc bag inside a mug or jar, open, and fold down the sides over the lip of the mug. It works perfectly!
I want one that works for the gallon sized bags too. I know I *could* just find something that size, but with all the other kitchen gadgets out there....why hasn't someone made this yet? :D

:) There are 14 ranks. Queen Bee is on there, but it isn't the top.
You get to find out the rest as we go.

I posted this question inside the post started by Jennifer, but I wanted to make sure you saw it.
Karen, I have a question about how you copy and paste the student questions in your workbook. How do you do that since they are a pdf file? Do you convert them first? I'm starting to seriously consider doing this.

I just use them on our regular old plastic garbage can. I have to stretch a little to get it around, but it works great!!
This reminds me of an invention that I have always wanted to invent. It is a little rack to hold different sizes of zip-lock bags open so that you can pour things into them. I can't tell you how many times I have wished for this. Does anyone know if this exists already. Or, can someone else design one and give me some money for the idea. :)

No, I'm using the workbooks. I needed to update the page to reflect that and other tweaks I've made since the beginning of the year. It's updated now.

The ONLY system that works for me is to have another family come over for project day. If I know someone is coming to my house for a project then I will get the supplies I need and get organized. If not.....we put it off. :rolleyes: But, I would encourage you to do the projects. I know it has given my kids a love of history *and* it really does help them remember better. Plus, I always take pictures of their projects and so they like going back and looking through their notebooks, and then they review.

I Kissed Dating Goodbye by Josh Harris is a good one.

All I know is that I really wanted to be a worker bee, and it is not as fulfilling as I had hoped. I'm now on a quest to be a nurse. And.....where will it stop?
-
Did you have a different name on the old boards? For some reason, I don't remember that name. I'm so confused. :-)

68 here (day) and I can tell when it drops to 67. :) At night we turn it way down.

I'm such a math geek that I also thought you meant National Pi day. I think I'll go make a pie.

I wouldn't recommend the little light-up battle reinactment at the visitor center. I think it is much better to get out and drive it listening to the tour. I had my kids memorize a part of the Gettysburg address and say it in the same spot where Lincoln gave it. They got a kick out of that!

I think I am the only person who didn't really like it. I couldn't get past Rene Zeilweiger's fake bad accent. I don't even remember why it was PG.

I'm looking for a great earth science/astronomy curriculum for next year (6th grade, with 4th grade tag-along). What do you use? I have used Apologia Flying Creatures this year, but I am not married to using Christian or young earth curriculum. I'd like something with some rigor.

I only have 8 pounds I want to lose, but I'd love the encouragement to stick with the program. I have been counting points (WW) but I don't go to meetings. I lost about 8 pounds already, but I want to keep going.

Oh, yes! I'll read a post I've written and I just *know* people are rolling their eyes and thinking, "She's such a jerk!"
But it doesn't keep me from posting. :D
Oh, yes. All the time. But I have to say, also, that I have come to realize that there is something just as wrong with being perpetually offended as with being offensive. On the boards, and increasingly in real life, I try to assume that people are not trying to be offensive, and to try to hear what they are saying rather than my own "offendedness" which is often based in parts of me that would better be changed, anyway.Patty, I'm putting you in the same category as Crissy. NICE.

Oh man! Now I want to be a nurse. When will it stop?
-
Third week in March, eh? Perhaps I could take a little jaunt over to that side of the world at that time. Maybe as a 40th b-day present (March 28) to myself! I'll have to start convincing dh now!!

Crissy, no one has EVER thought you were a jerk!! You win all sorts of nice awards in my book.:)

More, please....more!! These are cracking me up!!

My dh always forgot to use them too, although he liked the idea of it. :)

This is one of the reasons I like Singapore. THere is a lot more practice with problem solving. Does he really understand what addition and subraction are conceptually? I would do lots of practice as you go along. THings like, "I have 5 pens right now. How many would I have if I took 3 away?" Do this often throughout the day. "How many more would I need to have 10 pens?" Sometimes it is hard for younger kids to get past the words on the page and think about the math. Try reading the problems to him and even rephrasing the problem a little. Teach some key words like if it says "how much more" if is probably a subtraction problem.
I would lots of practice with this, maybe print off extra worksheets from edhelper.com or something.
Best of luck.

that is great. I'm glad you updated us.

Mine is in my signature.
I see that some have worked their way up to Nurse Bee, and I'm wondering....
