I am SO thankful for this thread tonight. We started with tears first thing this morning and it was a long day for me, and for them too. Partially I know it was my fault for not being up before the kids (had a very late night of planning last night) but me oh my, when I asked them to copy 2 rows of a poem you would have thought I asked them to copy pages and pages. :001_huh: Hoping for a better day tomorrow. I used to be a ps teacher too and wish I could get half of the work out of my kids that I could out of other people's kids-with out all the emotions would be great too. I was just thinking (again) today how different it is to homeschool vs. the ps classroom. So. very. different.

thanks! I'll look into online printing. :)

We are doing some e-book unit studies, Math 4 Today-which is a copyable workbook, and another printable e-book from dyslexiagames.com this fall. Before I break the bank trying just to print these books, does anyone have advise about the best way to go about it? My own printer, go to Staples, etc etc? TIA! :) Oh, and I'm printing the same things double time since I have 2 girls completing the same things. :tongue_smilie:

Reverse choking? I don't know how to say it.
WhollyHis replied to ChrissySC's topic in General Education Discussion Board
Is it bad that this thread has me totally giggling? :lol: So sorry. I guess I just needed to laugh at this very moment. ;) It is good to know this can happen-just for future reference. -
Teaching Piano at home~ Advice wanted
WhollyHis replied to jetertribe's topic in K-8 Curriculum Board
We bought Pianimals at the start of last school year. My girls completed the first book this year-not with rigorous practice either. They are 7 and 8 and really enjoyed it! Looking forward to book 2 this next year. As for my background, I took some lessons when I was young, but not much. I would say it's a good program for someone who has just basic knowledge of music. :) -

Any advice on dc with acid reflux?
WhollyHis replied to *********'s topic in General Education Discussion Board
I would highly recommend a chiropractor, but first find a friend with recommendations to a good one in your area. :) -
Anyone watch the Duggar grandson special?
WhollyHis replied to StaceyinLA's topic in General Education Discussion Board
I'm pretty sure it's called "First Grandson." :) -
ummm, I bet I'd have a TON of boxes of books too. Let's hope I don't have to move any time soon. Plus I only have 2 kids. You have a few more, so I'd say you should have lots of books. :001_smile:

WhollyHis replied to CookIslandsMommy's topic in K-8 Curriculum Board
We are working on Little Keepers from http://www.keepersofthefaith.com My girls are 7 and 8-even though it says the first book is for up to 7 years old, we're still working on accomplishing the skills they have listed for that younger age group. :001_smile:- 5 replies

Chalk-Board Doors

I love this idea. :) Did you use a paint or was it more like something you apply like contact paper? -
Free resource for teaching kids about handicapped individuals
WhollyHis replied to thowell's topic in K-8 Curriculum Board
thanks for the info and link. I've wanted to teach my girls about others with special needs and I'm sure we will appreciate this resource. :) -
It sounds like a homeschoolin' momma's dream. :) I was just thinking about taking my girls into our newly cleaned up school room to do something (not sure what yet) when daddy goes out to play basketball tonight. Now I'm wondering who's crazy/weird? :lol:

Asking the hive...
WhollyHis replied to Tidbits of Learning's topic in General Education Discussion Board
She doesn't seem like a very nice/considerate person. :( Some people feed off of or feel better by putting others down-these people do not make good friends-at least in my book they don't. If it were me, after blowing up and setting boundaries I'd give her one more chance. If that doesn't work, it sounds like it's time to find some new friends. :grouphug: -
Does your church charge for VBS?
WhollyHis replied to CarlaJoy's topic in General Education Discussion Board
No churches charge around here. My girls have attended 5 different VBS programs already this summer. Only one had t-shirts and those were given to them for free. BTW we live in a pretty small town (12,000 population). I have noticed the start of fees in larger towns-but that could just be my observation. :) :thumbup: VBS. -
Ahhh. this thread has been a breath of fresh air to me-and quite encouraging as well! I x-ed Z&C and Hannah Montana about 6 months to a year ago and have friends who think I'm nuts for doing so. Oh well, it has saved my girls from a lot of garbage going in, which means less garbage out of their mouths and attitudes. :) We were down to watching Phineas & Ferb, some PBS and a few Nick Jr. Shows. Then I started to pick up on the junk in Phineas and Ferb too. :( Sad because we like to watch that with our girls. My husband is still not 100% with me on not letting the girls watch P&F but he's coming around and records it to watch later, which I really appreciate.
