What core are you doing for read alouds I might be able to help you out with the schedule.

We like them, We use them as a filler, if my kids fall behind in reading or I want to test how they are doing, or just for extra practice. The kids really like them. But the kids read only 1-2 a year because they are for each grade.

:iagree:

I went to the library & grabbed all of them. & then bought the one with the best pictures. ;) Target also has one in the dollar bins, that is surprisingly good. :001_huh:

Wow, we spent $350 this year & it was a lot for us. I probably will spend $100 more this year. Usually we spend $200.

Thanks, I'm still confused. I think we will use Draw write now, for a couple weeks until I decide. :tongue_smilie:

Thanks for the amazing advice!

I'm so happy to have time in our schedule to teach art formally. I love art history & all love art. What has been easy & works for you, that all the kids can do.

I have pieced together Core D for 3 kids. But I don't have worksheets for my 4th, 3rd, 1st grader. Do you use it or something else?

I'm so excited to start school! It's the rest of the year that is harder. ;)

Wow, thanks great advice! I like the post it/book mark idea & will try having the older read first since it will take him 1-2 weeks & 2-4 weeks for the younger. :iagree:

My husband speaks Korean fluently, he wants to teach my children this year for 30min nightly. I'm concerned they will learn the alphabet & it will end. So what programs or workbooks would you get to supplement during the school day. :confused:

I'm in the same boat. :bigear: :grouphug:

This looks great. http://www.thedaisyhead.com/2010/08/on-wall/

I really like Sonlight, but I don't buy from their website :D

My tough 8yo tomboy loves them & now I may need to buy them. ;)

Thanks! :thumbup:

I agree. I've been tweaking for a week now, so fun & crazy. But I could have just started with no help from me. :grouphug:

I read on Raising Olives blog that they do it as they go, so read the read alouds & then do the timelines & maps daily. Read her blog, it's a huge help, if she can HS with 11 anyone can.

I have 2 children who will be reading the Core D readers. DS will be reading advanced & DD will be reading regular readers. But the books are the same books 12 weeks out of 36! They aren't going to be avid readers if they share. Should I buy extra copies or switch around the schedule, I bought SL for the schedule. Lol :confused:

Congrats!!!!! Baby's are always a huge blessing! Praying God comforts you in this time!

Wow awesome list, thanks!! A lot I haven't heard of, those will be on hold at the library tonight!

Reluctant/ behind readers. Autism & Add/dyslexia. Ik lucky us. My kids are reading at a 1st & 2nd gr level! But we have a ways to go. How does this sound? 8:30: mom reads aloud 9: Lang arts: HWT, explode code, first language lessons, phonics drills 10:30: break 11-12:30-math book 3-4pgs, math drill(still working on addition), math game 1-1:30-kids take turns reading 1:30-3- history/ science 8- dad reads aloud Any suggestions, would be great. We are also going to try workboxes.

Telling Gods story is awesome, we do it at night as a family. :001_smile:

Dd9, hit & miss: electric scooter, he hated it at first, now he loves it!! :auto: Hit: Kinect for family, I HATE video games, but this is a huge hit for everyone!
