Jen that is a good point.

Thanks!

First of all I never take anything online personally; I can't help it if someone else doesn't like my word 'force'. I see people do it all the time. I see many good Catholic families send their kids to the good 'Catholic' colleges, and they come out with 80,000 in loans. That is not what I want for my children. I also am not taking offense:tongue_smilie: that someone assumed I don't know how aid works. I do. I also come from a family with a lawyer and a Ph.D. My family is very educated and values education. However, my lawyer father gave up his high-paying career to serve the Lord and be with his family more. I would never give up all the jobs I worked to pay for my own private college education for what he did. I obviously think highly of this, because my engineer husband is in the process of leaving behind his high paying career to become a college professor. I am so excited to have him in a career he loves and that will allow more family time I am about to burst. And, we've been using our money to pay down our mortgage, so when we make this transition to much less money we will have no mortgage. My DH just emailed me an article last week on should people pay off their mortgage or save for college. It was interesting. There are so many ways to go through college low cost. Attend CC first. Get loads of AP credit from high school. Don't live in dorms (I never did.) I had a job as a live-in nanny. Work. Most of my friends whose parents footed the bill flunked out and took a long time to finish. I was on the dean's list every semester, because I was shelling out 80% of the tuition. It doesn't bother me that others feel differently, and I don't know why my opinion should bother anyone else. It is just my opinion.:001_smile:

Less than five....I paid for my own college education (with no loans) as did my father before me. I don't understand why it is a given attitude that parents pay for college or force kids into debt.

....because we love it! We listen to Classical Kids and Music masters cd's in the van. I also have collected story books for the composers. They really enjoy learning about the lives of the composers and recognizing their music.

First language Lessons All About Spelling Right Start Math. I never prepare for any of these curr.

We finished B in Jan and started right into C. I'm combining a lot of lessons, because there is review and the lessons aren't that hard yet. I also use Singapore workbooks. He was so excited to finally get to multiplication today. He loves graphing his time for the timed practice sheets and graphing the temperatures every day. So far we like it, but I do a lot of review with Singapore.

I skipped around Singapore until the topics came up in RS. I used S. Intensive Practice, too. Recently we were skipping around until RS C covered multiplication.

do you happen to know which season it was from? we have 1-5 on netflix ETA: i saw that it is episode 38 from season 5, but season 5 only goes to 30 on netflix! :(

Does it have any ecclesiastical errors? I've heard SSL has some ecclesiastical errors in the songs. I have SSL, but we haven't started it yet.

I have the new ones. We are almost done with FLL 1 and will finish FLL 2 this summer before 2nd grade.

Thank you! for those that have used 100 EZ lessons: One of my favorite things about EZ lessons is teaching the child to sound out words without stopping in between sounds. I've previewed some lessons on funnix, and she stops in between the sounds. I'm inclined to finish EZ lessons and pick up with funnix after we're done. I had so much success with the book w/ DS1 that he is beyond funnix 2 and doesn't even need to do it. I'd love to hear feedback from people that have used both.

I was going to say AAS also. You could get it for the younger one and have the older one learn any rules he doesn't know. I have a feeling we are going to love TOPS lentil science, too. We haven't started it yet though.

Do you have a link? ETA: Is this what you were talking about? http://www.funnix.com/funnix2006/using.htm

Where did you get the workbook pages from? I can't find those. ETA: I see now that they are in the lessons. Do you print them from the lessons?

email them. it could be your connection or their connection.

When do you start IEW? What do you start w/?

You had to request the dowload by 1/31. If you did that you can complete the download by 2/13. I don't think the offer was extended.

It was available in January for free.

Has anyone heard if the are really 1.00, because the go into the cart at full price.

Thanks everyone. I'm going to get this. My friend said it is really helpful to her for a left handed child. DS2 is a lefty.:)

thanks for posting this. DS2 is on lesson 25 in 100 EZ, but I want to see which lesson he should start funnix with and switch him.

Hi, Does anyone use this? I'd heard of it and suggested it to a friend and she loves it. I'm going to get it for my DS2; he's 4 1/2. I was wondering if I should also get it for my 1st grader. He has pretty good handwriting.

Hi I have two boys (7, 4 1/2). If you have instant netflix, what are some good shows or movies you've seen recently.

Hi, I am going to make a report card, because my DS1 is going back to Catholic school next year. Are there any good printable report cards? Thanks
