Yes. Strider has done this. I did it in my class at our former church.
Strider needs to be the one to answer this, though. She's got amazing ideas! I'll PM you later with the notes that I have.:001_smile:
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?

What about "Throw Momma From the Train?" Anyone remember that one (I haven't read all the responses so maybe this has already been mentioned). The only scene I remember is Danny Devito hitting Billy Crystal in the face with a frying pan.
BTW, I spell it M-A-M-A.
That was a funny movie! :lol:
-
Oh yea, well I was going to tell you about the movie I Remember Momma but it turns out it's I Remember Mama :tongue_smilie:
Doesn't matter....I win :tongue_smilie:
Bill (no other)
Who else hasn't voted yet??
:D

*Cindy wonders whether Bill represents the single vote for Mamma.*

*Cindy waits for the "other" option*

There's one in every crowd :D
Apparently in this crowd there are several.

Mama
If I had to choose one of your options I would go with Momma.

"What kind of a board is this?":lol:

Well, it does have to have additives, but it is at least dairy-based. From the looks of it, the thickener is carageenan, which is seaweed-based and doesn't bother me too much. Here's the whole scoop:
Ingredients: Nonfat milk, milk, corn syrup (yuk), artifical color (to turn your coffee creamy colored), sodium citrate, dipotassium phosphate, mono and diglycerides, carageenan (seaweed thickener), natural and artificial flavors (?), and vitamin A palimate.
Not perfect, and I think the only thing I eat that has corn syrup and artifical coloring, which I normally eschew. But I think that's also why I figure a little in my coffee won't hurt too much. The main two ingredients are just milk. I don't drink a whole ton per cup -a pint will last me over a week. I usually drink what my coffee maker thinks is 3-6 cups of coffee a day (but fits fine in 1-2 take-along coffee tumblers).
Cremora on the other hand, is made of:
corn syrup solids (double yuk), hydrogenated oil (egads!) and artifical coloring. So basically, sugar and fat and white coloring (and probably other gross stuff I'm forgetting, as I don't have a label to look at). But not a single "real" ingredient.
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. ;)
-
Fat-free half and half! And no, it's not fake stuff like Cremora (eeewww!)
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:
-
Perhaps a flavored coffee? I prefer black coffee and will drink any brand, but some are definitely better than others.
French Vanilla maybe?
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.

Please mark this "sensitive". :grouphug:
-
I do not like artificial fragrances at all. I only use them when I need to cover up a REALLY REALLY BAD smell.

...some of us just got unlucky?
:D
:D
:D
(Sorry, Susan...I couldn't resist.:lol:)
...and maybe others just didn't want to miss out on the fun...

I'm probably not your target audience for this question, but I find it very thought provoking. Regardless of where one thinks one will end up after death, or even if one believes death is the end, I wouldn't want to stick around forever. Seems as if it would get tiring.
And would this immortality mean our children would remain at their current ages? I look forward to my dc growing up, experiencing new areas of independence. I want to see them as mature people, even see who they choose to partner up with in life, and wonder if I'll have grandchildren, and what those grandbabies will be like. I don't want to give that up for living forever.
I'm also reminded of the main character in Stephen King's The Green Mile. He was very tired at the end of the book. All his friends and family had, indeed, died. When the mouse who was also given long life finally died, it was bittersweet. Bitter because of the death of the only creature who had endured with him for so long and foretold his own death. Sweet because death was not the enemy for him.
Meanie explained well what I was trying to say. I love LIFE. Life is about growth and change, and moving from one season to another. It means being a child, than a woman, than a mother, then a grandmother, and eventually going home. I think without these seasons we would have nothing to look forward to and we would lose the wonder and the enjoyment of life.

I thought the incentive for AP courses was not having to take (and pay for) the class in college.

As a believer I would chose heaven.
However, I see your point. I'm in no hurry to get there and I don't want to miss out on things here on earth.
There is a song: "Everybody wants to go to heaven, but nobody wanna go now."
Life is good for me also. When I look at my kids, it is sometimes hard to believe that heaven can be even better. However, immortality would mean watching everybody I love get old and die. It sounds lonely. I would rather go with them.

There is no question about the talent and the ability of the performers. They did what they needed to do.
Hebrew
in K-8 Curriculum Board

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.
