My standard answer is that I homeschool from birth ;-) My oldest is in 5th grade. If I include her kindergarten, I have 5 1/2 years.

I voted my 5th grader. I also have a toddler and a kindergartener.

I have used two spaces for twenty years. I don't think I can untrain my fingers at this point.

The age range sounds right to me. Issac was an adult who went of his own free will. He was also a type of Jesus Christ, God's only son, who would be sacrificed on that very mountain 2000 (?) years later. My favorite line in the story is Genesis 22:8 when Abraham told Issac that God would provide Himself a sacrifice.

Strider, I would rep you if I could. Thank you :001_smile:

This type of curriculum would be perfect for us. My older two children are ready to read and write, and my little one can start learning the songs. I have a Rosetta Stone sampler CD, and my kids found it to be rather dry.

Please! I am hoping to schedule a meeting with the new director this week, and I would like to bring specific ideas.

Beginning next fall, I would like to spend at least two years teaching and learning Hebrew. What are your favorite curricula, books, websites and other resources for ages 3 to adult?

I need help fleshing out an idea. I was wondering if a trivum model could be applied to a Sunday School program. I was thinking of applying the WTM history approach to the Bible, and going through the entire text over a 3 or 4 year period. Each time we would teach at a developmentally appropriate level. For example 1st - 4th grade we would just teach the stories. From 5th to 8th grades we can start to read more analytically, picking apart the scripture and looking for connections, types, and parallels. The high school years we could spend on things like apologetics. Do you think this could work? Can you offer any books or curriculum ideas that will accomplish my goals at each level?

That was a funny movie! :lol:

Who else hasn't voted yet?? :D

Half & Half: Milk, Cream I'll take it! Though I generally just take it black. ;)

I really like good coffee. I find that my favorite varieties are the ones with a roasted flavor, like an Italian Roast or 100% Colombian. I don't like flavors unless they are high quality and not fake tasting, and I can't even stand the smell of hazelnut. What other types of coffee would you suggest I try? Where are your favorite places to order or purchase coffee? What is your preferred method for brewing coffee? Thanks!

Check out those numbers. So much for stereotypes!! :lol: I have never owned one and never will. ;)

Half & half is half cream and half milk. If it is fat free, then it can't be "half & half" can it?? How exactly does that work? Is it really skim milk in a "Half & half" carton, or do they replace the fat with something artificial?:confused:

I don't like flavored coffee unless the flavors are high quality (not fake). The good stuff is expensive, so I don't get it often. I don't think you can really improve on good coffee anyways. ;) When I do drink flavored, I do not like them black. They need cream IMO. I like the flavor of a good Italian roast or Sumatra.

I switched to black a couple of years ago when I had reason to suspect a milk allergy. I took a long time to develop the taste, but I persisted because I NEED my coffee. :tongue_smilie: I prefer it black now most of the time. I occasionally use a little half & half, but I often find the dairy bothers my stomach. ETA: Before I switched (and even now for an occasional treat) I drank my coffee with cream (real cream or half & half) and no sugar. I really didn't like it too sweet. I just liked having something to "mellow" the flavor a bit. Does this make sense? Perhaps not needing my coffee sweetened made it eaiser to switch to black? Maybe you could go in stages and drop the sugar first. Cream does have some natural sweetness on its own.
