I'm fairly sure I saw The Psalms in the poetry section of WEM. I don't remember seeing the other books included.
It's been a while since I looked, though, and I'm going off of memory.

Congratulations! :party:

The ones I get are usually recordings. If I listen all the way through, often at the end they give you an opportunity to push "one" if you don't want to receive any more calls.

This homeschooling mom does. Here's her blog where she talks about it.

I've seen this one recommended on this forum.

I love, love, love the game State Sequence for teaching the states and capitals. I love it because it is a fun game for that age and for mom, and it really teaches them the names of the states and capitals in a fun, painless way. I require them to say the state and capital as we play.

Great news! I'm very happy for you. :party:

The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson is a novel from the 50s that is good and scary.

I've had luck with peppermint extract on an aching tooth. I think my pain was sinus related.

I agree with the previous poster. It's important to ask your tutor which songs she will be using so that you're consistent. I don't think the CD is necessary to buy because there is so much more on CC Connected.
I think it helps the kids to have heard the music in advance of class, so make sure you ask ahead about what song the tutor will use. She probably uses the same person's song each week.
Don't give up! It is very hard to learn it all the first year. I would put most of my energy on math and the timeline, because those are the same for every cycle (you'll have a leg up for next year). Plus, learn the history songs, because they're catchy and therefore easy to learn, which will give your child confidence.

I'll be praying too.

I watched an interview with the Wheat Belly author just today and decided to try going gluten free for a month because I am ALWAYS tired. In this video, he discusses why wheat farmers don't make the switch back to the old-fashioned wheat.
Here's the link.

I'm in Oklahoma and it's been hot hot HOT. About an hour ago, the temperature dropped 20 degrees in 30 minutes (upper 90s to 70s). Ahhh!

Okay, I'm obviously a dummy, but I don't understand how to play these games!
I understand the addition and how the sum (or the ones in the sum) makes then next number. I do not understand how to play.
Once the cards are laid out (for the short chain, A47 in the games book) in 9 fans of 4, what do you do? How do you get the right numbers to the top?
What rules govern how you can move cards or stacks of cards?
I've never played a solitaire game where there is no deck to deal from at any point in the game. DD and I were frustrated with this today. We are in RS C and this is the first game we haven't liked/played.
Please clue me in so I don't feel so stupid! :confused:
I don't recall how to move 'stacks of cards'. We don't do that, so I'm not sure on that one...
However, we set up the row of cards as suggested in the rules. Then we start at the left-most pair of cards. If one of the cards at the TOP of one of the 9 fans equals the sum of those two cards, we move it to that stack. Then We move to the next stack and do the same thing.
If there isn't a card on the top of the fans that equals the two cards in the particular stack we're on, we skip it, and move to the next one. If we can't make a play at all, we shuffle all the cards in the fans and rearrange them (but you're only allowed one shuffle per game). Keep going until the fans are gone!
Hope that helps.

Here's a nice little Grace Lin

I love this.

I think you should buy I small notebook that would appeal to him, and then have him list three things he's thankful for everyday (try to encourage him to thank of new things each day), which you write in the notebook. It would be a junior gratitude journal. Gratitude journals are amazing tools to get one's attitude improved.
If you need prompts, Ann Voskamp has some interesting ones each month on her blog, A Holy Experience. For example, one would be 'find something that's yellow that you are thankful for'.

What are the best picture books that retell an individual Aesop fable?

Before I answer, here's a little background....
My 7 year-old started getting really stinky last winter. I was surprised that someone so young could have such stinky armpits. I didn't like him using deodorant because he was so young.
Anyway, a few weeks ago, I watched Dr. Oz, and he recommended rubbing armpits with vinegar to a woman who was suffering from B.O. He said it gets rid of the bacteria which causes the odor. I tried it on my son, and it completely cleared away the stink. He hasn't had stinky pits at all even on these hot summer days when he runs a lot. And, he doesn't even rub it on everyday...only twice a week.

I usually look at the end it its suspenseful just to relieve the pressure.

I'm with you too. I've been downright zealous the previous two years. This year I just can't get any traction. I blame it on the weather...it's 111 outside.

I read Stephen Ambrose's Undaunted Courage last year. It is a great book. What I remember is that Lewis did not acknowledge how valuable her contributions were in his journals.
A prior poster alluded to her discovering her brother was the chief. I love the story.
When she was a little girl, she was kidnapped from her tribe. As the expedition was looking for the Shoshone, she saw her friend from childhood who was with her when she got captured. There is a C.M. Russell painting that depicts the moment of the friends reuniting and hugging one another.
I also recall that Clark either raised or actually adopted her son at some point after the expedition.

I don't know anything about the product, but I remember reading here about one person's problems with it.
