Hi, I was looking for online wordly wise program, but looks like its only for either homeschoolers or for group of students <25 .
Can I not enroll my child individually if I am not a homescooler ?

Short Sales takes FOREVER...to materialise ( around 6 months- 1 year) very painful process, to go through.. but its worth a try, if you are not in rush to buy, dont be optimistic for the house, and dont put your sentiments into it..You will be lucky if it materialises.. if not move on...
We bought ours as Short sale, it took 6 months of waiting and patience, but was worthwhile:001_smile:.
We paid 50k under asking price, and got the house whose market value was 200k higher than what we got:001_smile:

Just checked the other site.. looks like its from Australia, Money and coins are australian..(or can they be converted to US coins.. not sure)
Looks interesting, but I think IXL is straight forward and easy to navigate.Try the trial version of both with your kids, and see what they like?
-
IXL is a great resource and very interesting website. Kids love it. And first 20 problems are free to try and find the site, if its a best for for your kids or not.( And I think its by Maria Miler , the same author of MM books)
Not sure about the other one you asked.
-
Looks like good books ..from sample pages!
-
Is this all not confusing.. I mean depending how an individual pronounces..will elect if its long or short vowel..
Is there no standard norm??

As I read on Homeschooling threads, They take up SOTW lessons ( for history), taking up different topics of science at home, analysing facts about them , experimenting.. SHould I be worried if my ds is learning all this at school...or I need to step in ??
After reading Hoemschooling threads, it feels we are studying nothing.:confused:

Hello Hives,
My DS(8) is in 2nd grade in PS, we practice some Math and Language everyday aside from the daily homework given from his school.
Just wondering, since we never receive science/social studies books at home, should I be worrying about teaching these subjects at home too??
Or should I leave these subjects solely at PS and teachers..??
What do afterschooling moms generally teach - just maths/language??? or science/history too??

I gotta agree with LGWhoHasGoneNotQuiteSoWild on this one.
The beach is IN context while a restaurant is OUT of context. While I am not religious I would not wear certain items of clothing (pajamas, swimsuit, flippers and snorkel mask) into a temple/chuch, etc. (for services). Those items of clothing ARE appropriate IN their setting.
Hooters, however, I find inappropriate anyway. As LG said, it's whole point is to turn guys on. ick.
:iagree::iagree:Beach is a beach, while you know what Hooters is famous for...

Yayy.. economy is improving..:001_smile:

I agree Practice will eventually help them memorise,
BUT, in PS where my son goes (2nd garder) they administer Timed drills, they have to answer atleast 30 out of 50, in 1 Minute. For which they have to memorise their facts.. I hate it though..Kids should have their concepts clear , not sure why they are advocating memorisation of Add/Subtract facts ..:confused:

CAn anyone, please share the receipe for wet version of LAundry Detergent, and is it good to be used in FL HE machines??
-
Thank you for sharing this!!:001_smile:
I successfully got in , after several error pages.. I hope too many people hitting the servers at one time..
Keep trying off and on.. you will get it.
-
Thanks for the eye opening information!
I will try using water and vinegar ( I hope its the usual vinegar we add in salads??) and also look for Orange Glo( can I buy this only Online??)
Thanks for your time ladies!
-
I also don't think they get as clean. I think they just want us to believe they will, and they're really only selling water efficiency. To me, it's like rubbing my hands in dirty water but not really rinsing them.
Oh, and I hate the mildew smell.
Water is key for washing, so I'm not sure how less water is more efficient. Kind of like those low-flow toilets that require two flushes ...
:iagree::iagree:
-
Yet another question, how you guys clean wooden floors, with three kids in house , racing their trucks and cars on floor.. how you keep it scratchless and maintain its shine??
I am using Murphy oil soap and it give it a good mop twice a week, but its not that shinning or clean as I want..
Do you use any special Steam machine ( I saw one at Bed, bath ) and any special wood cleaners??
-
If I looked into the machine while it washed, there was just NO water in there to speak of, especially washing diapers!
You need water to clean things!
:iagree:
For the initial days, I literally sat in front of machine for entire cycle, just to see how much water did it take.. I was rather horrified to see,it only took water just to wet the clothes.. and clothes kept moving on their own without any additiona water....I thought something was wrong with my machine, called the technician.. and he said, this is how its supposed to work..well, I am not happy...with such minimal water..!
-
OK, some are happy , some are not.
Ours is GE, and spent a whole lot on FL, thinking it will save on our water bill, but it takes longer to complete the cycle, clothes comes out not so clean ( we use All HE), and yes, that moldy rubber thing.. I wipe under rubber and keep doors open after washing, but Am I skeptical, I still smell something not so fresh....:glare:
Given second option, I won't buy FLs, for now, since I am stuck , will try changing to Tide HE, and putting smaller loads..
Also, I read earlier on these forums how to make laundry detergent at home.. I hope they are not for HE FL washers!
-
I recently bought a front load HE washer, however I feel with the little water it uses, my clothes dont come out very clean .. I am using HE washing liquid, but not so happy...with the results the HE washer is giving.. how can it clean with so minimal water??
what you all say .. are traditional washers better in getting the clothes clean??:confused:
-
Heather, Can you please share the recipe with us?:001_smile:
-
This is how I make ours :):
[ATTACH]4193[/ATTACH]
I loved this one.. How do you make it ??
-
I can understand your pain , since my DS too has all these allergies, but he outgrew at the age of 6 {miracle to me } , he can now eat everything except the shell fish..
We spent most of our paychecks buying specialised food for him frm Whole foods and other speciality shops, which at the end of the day went in garbage, he never liked those foods at all..
I dont have any solution for you , just can share your pain.
You can give him goat milk /rice milk along with lunches just to keep him full.

I do strain it as I pour it into the cup.
"Yes, the way that the tea is boiled with the water and spices does make a big difference. It really has to sort of simmer for a bit in order for the flavors to infuse together.
After the milk is added, there needs to be just enough time for the milk and tea to blend together but not so much that the chai gets burned. For me thats magical number is 3. 3 boils to the top and then it's done.
It should boil up at least once, this really brings the flavor together and adds that something unexplainable to it."
:iagree::iagree::iagree: With sleemy mommy!
I am myself Indian , and "Chai" is an indian word, and its not just pouring hot boiled water over the tea bag, its a lot more process of boiling spices in water and then adding black tea, boiling a little more, finally adding milk and again boiling a little more.. makes a real chai..
Enjoy ladies!;)

Just like dark chocolate and red wine.. chai has been linked to reduce probablity of cancer and other diseases...
