    Thanks Pamela! Thats what I figured, but since it has been such a long time, I didnt know if things had changed from what I was reading here. :001_smile:

    hey thanks for the info here. The last time I went to school, grants covered ALL of my tuition and books. It says our EFC is 0, so I dont understand what the $440 is for if we get $5500 in grants? thanks!
  6. sassyscrapperinid
    So, now a days a grant = a loan??? Thats confusing. I am going back to school myself this fall, as well as 2 of my teenagers, and it says our efc is $0 and that we qualify for $X in grants and $X in loans. We wont do loans. But, certainly its not the same thing. Thanks for the input. To the OP: I am glad you started this thread as I am taking 3 classes this fall, two of which are online. :001_smile:

    We never did pre-K before but the mom of the kids I babysit asked if I would homeschool her 3yo dd for pre-k. A friend told me about Letter of the Week (google it) and I think it is pretty good. Everything is laid out and its free!! :001_smile:

    :iagree: Im not sure why someone would think that the OP did it intentionally or maliciously. But Im sure someone will correct me. LOL

    Get his younger sister a bike and let her go at it!! LOL Thats how my youngest son got motivated to figure it out. As soon as he saw her learning and so quickly, he picked it up in a jiffy! Good luck!

    Maybe you could have a yard sale or something to help raise the money for it?
  12. sassyscrapperinid

  17. sassyscrapperinid
    I thought you made that clear. :001_smile:

    So sorry for your loss. Its always hard telling the kids. I wish I had some advice for how to do that gently but I dont. Just be available for plenty of hugs and cuddle time. :grouphug:
  19. sassyscrapperinid
    :party: Thats wonderful!!! More sticky dust your way!

    I unfortunately have experience with this and the wife DEFINITELY needs to know so she can protect her child. And I would even venture to say that EVERYONE in your family with children needs to know so they can protect their children as well. Its hard when this happens but the cycle has to stop some where.

    I am not very familiar with your story, but I wanted to ask if dd has had time to de-school?? I think that she may just need a little time to transition. Maybe you could start with some more interest led learning that is fun and not so much table work? Maybe spend the summer just doing an awesome nature study? Just a thought.....:001_smile:
  23. sassyscrapperinid
    Thanks for the advice. We have done lots of crafts in our RV. Neither one of my girls is much for mud and teepees but thanks. :001_smile:
  24. sassyscrapperinid
    I started taking my girls for an all girl campout a couple years ago. We didnt get to go last year cuz we were traveling last summer as a family. This year, I want to take the girls again and I want it to be SUPER fun. We will probably only do 3 or 4 days this year. What kinds of crafts would be fun for a 7 year old and a 16 1/2 year old?? Any other ideas that would span across age would be great. Thanks!

    Together for 17 years, married for almost 14 years. I was married before but most of that time we were separated only together long enough to have 2 wonderful children who are 2.5 years apart and that was it! :001_smile:
