  1. Math: Math Mammoth 6

    LA: Sonlight D (maybe) or Writing and Rhetoric and Rod and Staff; Spelling Workout D; a Reason for Handwriting cursive ( maybe)

    History: Sonlight D and VP Self Paced Reformation

    Science: Sonlight D he really liked this science (C) this year so hoping this works again.

    Language: Duolingo Spanish

    Starting a new Coop this year.  Hopefully that works out.

     

  2. Can't believe it's time for 8th grade already!

    Math: Lifepac Geometry ( we have 3 units left) and then Algebra II

    Language Arts:  Gonna try Sonlight J this year.  This is our worst subject so we'll see.  Might look at Writing and Rhetoric and start way back at a beginner level.  She is excellent at grammar so might not do a separate program for that this year.

    History: Sonlight J History of Science.

    Science: Apologia General

    Handwriting: she has asked to do printing again so whatever the highest level of handwriting program I find that does printing.  lol

    Language: continue French I think

    We are also starting up a co-op this year so we'll see what that brings.  I really want to focus heavily on writing this year to get her up to level with that.  She was so good when she was younger but has developed almost a fear of writing.  It's frustrating for her and me!

     

  3. Ordered an air fryer earlier after a lot of issues.  Just ordered an SD card.  Now I'm considering a Kindle Paperwhite.  I already have a Kindle tablet.  Do I need a Paperwhite?

  4. It does sound like yeast but I'd go to the doctor to be sure.  My mom had an issue a while back and it was a combo of yeast and the material her bra was made out of.  You may need a prescription.

  5. We use Lifepac which I think is the same as CLE basically.  I really like it for Algebra etc.  Used Horizons for 1st and it was fine but a lot of extra problems we didn't need.  (we've also used Math Mammoth and Singapore and those work well too.)  Choose what's easiest for you to teach.

  6. We school 6 on 1 off mid July through mid May.  We then have a good 5 weeks off and one week of VBS before hitting the books again.  I also take 2 weeks off in December for Christmas.  We always go on a vacation during our week off in February to somewhere warm.  Sometimes that ends up being a bit more than a week off.

  7. Looks pretty good to me.  Is she asking for more?

     

    Just to compare my 2nd grader does science twice a week (with dd), history 4 times a week (Sonlight so mostly books), math daily, spelling, handwriting, FLL and WWE, Logic, and song school Spanish.  Probably 1hr 45 minutes on the days we don't have science.  Then he'll go do a math fact game and his Veritas Press history (totally not necessary but he needs to do something while I'm helping dd).

     

    I'd say you're right in there with what we do.

  8. Tenzi is the great equalizer game at our house, though at 2.5 it can be hard to engage in most games. Still, when our youngest was younger she just played with her set of dice at the table while the rest played variations on the game.

     

    I was going to suggest this.  Played it for the first time last night. It was fun and you can buy cards with a variety of different ways to play.
