  1. We just placed our first order. I signed us up as a homeschool school! They do send a lot of flyers which does seem wasteful, but they sure do have a lot of great deals on books! :)
  2. Last year we did start most mornings with the pledge and memory work. It was kindergarten for us and was suggested in the cirriculum we were using. This year we have not said it once! He does say it weekly at Awana, but that is about it! :)
  3. I am very happy to see this thread! Last night when I was playing around with my ds I noticed that he had the tiniest start of a new tooth coming in behind the baby tooth! The baby tooth is wiggly, and I am hoping it will soon come out with all the playing he's been doing with it. This will be his first lost tooth and he turned 7 in May! So he's is very excited to finally have a loose tooth. He's been waiting a long time :)
  4. My boy goes to speech therapy. Our insurance pays for 50 visits a year. At age 5 he went twice a week, it took a while for us to see any progress. I like to observe the sessions so I can see what needs to be practiced at home. He is now going once a week. He has made major progress and can now say in conversation all the sounds he was missing before except "r". He just turned 7. He does seem to still not be clear all the time. I am really hoping we can wrap up speech therapy soon. I wish we had started speech much earlier.
  5. We are in a similar situation. We do not like the Sonlight LA and I do not like how you must buy Sonlight bible curriculum this year. We've decided to just use the Core C books as a book list, and go with the SOTW 2, along with CHOW, and the other books we have from Core B. It was really hard for me not to order Sonlight but I think we will be more free this coming year to do more projects and other things my dc is interested in!
  6. I gave my son the CAT from Seton Testing this year in the first grade. Our state requires testing and it was easy enough to give him at home. He loved filling in the bubbles and keeps asking when we will test again. He could do the Stanford through our co-op and we may try that next year.
  7. You do not need to buy their map! We use our own maps and globe, it works just fine. :)
  8. I am thinking of trying the HOP's master reader. I'll be keeping my an eye on this thread to see what else is suggested! :)
  9. My son participated in a wedo Lego class, and it was two kids to each box set up!
  10. We are using the old school hooked on phonics with tapes. We were given it for free when my son was younger. It was never used. We had a hard time finding a tape player, lol. My son is not fond of the tapes so I will often go over the sounds with him instead of using the tape. We are on the last level now, and my son is reading well. He is always so excited to finish a box. The readers improve as the levels go on in m opinion.
  11. My son has two more sign offs needed until he's done his Sparky's book. He's in the second book, I'm forgetting what it is called now. He has had little interest in doing the review, so I am not sure if he will do that his year or not. We have missed a lot of Awana because he's been sick a lot! I was surprised he was near the end of his book already!
  12. Wish they had other levels of Singapore Math too! I will add it to my bookmark list to keep checking to see if other levels are added! :)
  13. We got ours today too. I keep going back and forth about buying or not buying this year.
  14. I noticed her site was down soon! Glad to hear it is just a hosting issue and will be up again before too long. :)
