We like BJU Math- it's colorful and arranged in mastery style so you can skip chapters if she already knows the concept.
Another option would be Teaching Textbooks- I am sure she could start with Gr. 3 in that program (scope and sequence is a bit behind all other programs), and it's colorful with lots of review, and it's got little animations which are fun (it's a computer program).

We did World Around Me for second grade science, both with my oldest and again with my second son, last year. We did Animals and Their Worlds (science theme curriculum including literature, crafts, read-alouds, etc) for first grade for my oldest and I am now using it with my second son for grade 3 (including fewer crafts and read aloud stories).
I really enjoyed both sets. I'd be happy to answer any specific questions you might have.

On another note regarding laundry- I put up a folding table in my laundry room to prevent clothing from migrating to other rooms prior to folding. So I fold the clothing as it exits the dryer, put it in a basket, transport it to the appropriate room and put it away. This has cut down on the laundry clutter in various rooms.

I scanned the thread really quickly, so hopefully I did not miss where anybody already posted this link:

This blog post really spoke to my heart about relationships with family members who do not share my values. Hope it helps! It addresses exactly the situation you describe and then some.

Ok sorry for the tmi details but it seems like every 10-20 minutes I am passing biggish clots and about every hour pad is full. It is making me nervous, should I be worried??
This is the way my m/c happened at 13 weeks. If you go to changing pad every half hour I'd get worried.

Our church is moving toward a plurality of elders and ordaining lay elders. I think it is a GOOD thing. I can't picture any of them co-opting the term "pastor", but by Bible definition a pastor and a lay elder can all work together.
The idea of one or two men having all the burden, responsibility and authority in the church doesn't seem Biblical to me. (Authority, used loosely, our church is congregational in government style). There should never be any ambiguity about whether a particular elder or pastor is the Senior Pastor or Family Pastor (by definition seminary educated men) or merely a lay elder, I wouldn't think. And the position of ordained elder will be a matter of church election/affirmation and taken as seriously as that of a deacon or pastor.

I can identify with so much in your post. We are newbies at our church after spending 20 years in the last one.
I am so not comfortable in large groups. It's just as you say- the large group divides into a number of small groups and leaves you (me) outside feeling like we don't belong. I think it's just a hazard of large groups and it was no different in large groups before we changed churches.
I love the advice of just being myself and trying to make my participation about how I can be of help to others rather than what I can get out of it. Thanks for posting the thread!

Mine has changed! I was ISTJ for years but our huge shift in religion and community over the past year has moved me to INFJ. The N is only a slight preference though.

My now-third grader has a late Sept. birthday. I did a "light K" with him when he was five, thinking we could count it as preschool and do a tougher K program the next year. He fooled me by learning to read by Christmas. My only regret is that he is a late-bloomer in his handwriting. He didn't struggle early on but the heavier third grade load is hard for him. I debate over whether I would put him in second grade or third if he were to need to attend brick and mortar school for some reason.

I dealt with a similarly frisky boy in elementary school by smacking him very hard in the face and telling him I would tell his parents and the teacher if he ever did such a thing ever again. If it were my boss I would be job hunting. No amount of convenient hours is worth harassment.

I have just played it by ear. Usually the first nurses to go are the ones where people are present like men from church. We had pastor and deacon over one night and I was NOT going to whip it out in front of them, yet I wanted to stay in the living room and visit. So my two year old just waited that night. He had other food options. I did everything on a case by case basis, very instinctual. I trust my instincts.

Your ob sounds like a very caring person. What a great attitude! Hope all goes well.

I voted for my husband. He wears metal waist buttons and is frequently driving wearing a seatbelt. I think you're onto something.
Do you think the holes are begun prior to washing, but unnoticed in the "shed the shirt overhead peel of exhaustion" and then they ravel and fray and grow in the washer?

Progesterone suppositories are never a bad idea, just an expensive one.

You missed an option.
My church does not offer it, and I do not miss it, but we would not avoid a church for offering it.
It used to be offered, before we began attending, but there was little demand so it was discontinued.

That just means plan Math, with checkmarks for M-F, Science T/Th, or whatever you usually do. Mine are all default for M-F and that way I can choose to leave blank days if I want, within my individual lessons.

Be sure to check out the Scholaric blog. Jeff Schmitz (programmer/creator) is constantly releasing new features.

I just threw up a little bit inside my mouth.

We read Naya Nuki in place of Birchbark House as well. I edited as I read aloud the Fighting Ground for the reasons stated above.

Oh, I see. You are right, you would have to individually edit each lesson. What I did with that type of thing is just enter each lesson individually instead of using the Lesson Sequence utility.
In the case of having books on hand I was not yet ready to schedule, I just stick them on the shelf with the books I have already scheduled and then plug them in later as desired. (If I understood your question correctly).
For library books, I usually found a table of contents online and scheduled that way (by number of chapters).

You could do WinterPromise American Culture. It wouldn't have the science, but it's all scheduled out. Their book choices are fantastic most of the time.

You have all missed the obvious. Rachel does not exist. She's the mouthpiece of the Machines, who are calling every phone number to determine where live people still exist. The Terminators are coming! :lol:
