I am enjoying WWE. It is my first year too, and I feel that it is not only teaching my ds writing, but it is helping me learn how to teach. Same with FLL.

Hopefully it is just cysts, but make sure they find out for sure. It is not overly common, but it could be little tiny gall stones. I started having periods like that around the age of 12. At 14 I would have some where the pain was much more intense, about twice a year. For lack of other things the doctor said it was ovarian cysts. I just dealt with it, and felt bad that I got sick so often. When I was 33 a stone got caught in my pancreas and I had to spend 10 days in the hospital. I had lots of stones, they were just very small. I finally don't have to deal with pain and it is wonderful. Just know that there is an explanation and don't let them tell you that it is normal and she will grow out of it.
Good luck.

oh, and children's motrin, it is anti inflammatory and for pain. Just make sure they have something in their tummy first. Yogurt is good to coat the tummy.

solorcaine? I think is the name. It is in the first aid aisle with treatments for burns. It is a spray, so you don't have your hand rubbing the burn. It has aloe vera and lidocaine in it. The lidocaine numbs the burn. I have used it on me, my hubby and the kids.

Summer,
Thank you for starting this thread. I had kinda thought it was one thing, but it wasn't and now I know more. We never learn if we don't ask.
Kathleen, thanks for your last explanation, it made sense and I now get it.
Kelly,
It is a fascinating time in history, if you ever do want to read more about it PM me and I can refer you to some interesting books.
Cheers,
Nicole

Like I said, I do not know how it is used today, but the Anglican church was a product of the reformation. Yes Henry the VIII was the King while the change came about, but there was a lot more going on then just him wanting a divorce.
This is just for anyone who finds it interesting by the way, not meant to be defensive or anything. (I just want to clarify as it is sometimes hard to tell on the internet. Oh, and I do have a bias as I am Anglican (I have lived in US and UK so it is easier to use the general term)
Henry was the second son and never meant to be King, he studied to become a priest.
Henry experienced first hand the corruption and politics that had taken root in some people within the Catholic church.
Henry became King when he was a teenager and his brother died. Catherine of Aragon was already Queen of England as she was married to Henry's brother.
The reformation was already happening and had already come to England. Many of his advisers believed in the reformation.
This all happened over years, not just for a quick divorce. He had an option to go back to the Catholic Church while he was married to his third wife Jane Seymour. Anne had been beheaded by this time, and Catherine had also died. As a widower he could have gone back to the church but he did believe in the reformation.
I find all of this history fascinating, I love seeing how things started.

I am not 100% sure here, but I was always under the belief that Reformed Christianity are the branches of the Christian Faith that stemmed from the reformation. Primarily the Lutheran or Anglican Faith's. There are more Faiths that came off of those, (puritans, etc...)

Thank you Merry and Alexandra,
That helps so much. I forgot to say part is because I am budgeting for the year. I already have level 1 and it did not look like it would take us that long to do, so I will budget level 1 and 2.
I will skip the readers now, but look into them when my dd starts getting to that point. I will also see what new and wonderful things are on the market at that time. I am really starting to feel excited about the AAS decision.
Merry, your blog is amazing, I think I could spend hours there. I am hoping to get my up and running in the next few months.
Cheers,
Nicole

I am another newbie, my son is entering 3rd grade. I am getting nervous, but I am mostly excited. Good luck to all of us.

I am starting AAS is September with my 8 year old/ 3rd grader.
Has anyone else started this program with an older child?
How long does each level take?
Are the readers really necessary? He is reading at an 6-7th grade level, just a really poor speller.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Nicole

I haven't figured out the quotes yet, but I agree about the summary. We look at when the bible was written. When God first sent his stories down to us, Jesus had not lived on earth. He was explaining what he did from the beginning, not with all the information that we have now. We present things in different ways depending on where we are in life. For example, if your three year old asks you where babies come from, you would explain it very differently than if you were lucky enough to not ever have to address the issue until your child was 14. We look at the story of creation that way, it is a story that God used to explain how everything came to be, to people that no longer had first hand knowledge of how mankind was started. He has given us enough information to navigate this lifetime, and the rest we will know when we join him.
I hope that was not to rambling.

However, I am doing the cutting on my own. I prepare everything before we start, it just takes too long and is not as fun otherwise. There was a recipe for hardtack which we made yesterday with the Christopher Columbus pocket. I am however spacing it out over the whole of year 3. Also instead of the construction paper folder they use, I am using a report cover and sheet protectors.

I am new this year too. My ds is 8 and we are going to give third grade a try. I have been looking into home education since he was about three, but for one reason or another we never started. I feel I have been planning for years, it is scary that it is now starting.
We did 3 weeks as soon as he finished his school year as we were both excited to see if it would work. We then took 3 weeks off, while I went over everything to see what worked and what didn't. Spectrum Spelling was a no go, and we are going to give AAS a try.
We are using:
SOTW3 - Story of the World 3
Evan Moor History Pockets
FLL - First Language Lessons 3
WWE - Writing with Ease 3
AAS - All about Spelling 1
LC - Latina Christina
Rosetta Stone Spanish (he has already done 3 years of Spanish)
Singapore Math
Christian Studies 1
Getty-Dubay italics
Adventures with atoms and molecules
We are going to start doing 2 days a week for the rest of the summer, and then dive in fully September.

So, when I was 8 I was taken to see Jaws 3 in 3D, then when I was 14 one of my classmates older sister was killed by a great white.

I agree with Audrey, I don't go in the water and bother them, and they don't come up on land and bother me.
