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. http://blog.scholaric.com/

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.

Yes, we used American Story 1 in second grade. LOVED it. When my younger son reached second grade we re-used most of the resources, but I scheduled it alongside the older boy's Truthquest history rather than buy All American or American Crossings. I wasn't that crazy about the idea of the Homeschool in the Woods Time Travelers stuff.

Oh, you can do all of these things. For a sequence of lessons: Description box:Lesson {42-116} Repetition tab: Choose Series, click "number" bullet, then fill in the appropriate number of lessons (make sure the days of the week are chosen in which this subject is assigned: default is M-F) To throw in a test, go to the assigned date, hover over the small arrow at the right of the lesson and choose "bump lesson forward". This will clear the date for a test to be inserted, moving everything forward. Here is a link to the creator's blog with even more advanced sequencing information: http://blog.scholaric.com/advanced-lesson-sequences I'm not sure what you mean about specific titles. I schedule different readers within my history assignments, so those titles show up.

I agree with both of the previous posters. Here are some more ideas: He is my top priority. If I had to choose between displeasing Him and displeasing anyone else, nobody else stands a chance of competing. Worship time thrills my soul, whether it is praise music or prayer time.

The "spiral-ish" programs we used (Christian Light, Teaching Textbooks) had more review on a daily basis than my ds likes or needs. He is fine tackling new concepts and does not forget the old ones. BJU Math and Thinkwell concentrate on the new topics but also feature review. He's done well with them. The "Look" of the spiral programs, with a long line of similar looking problems each day so that Wednesday looks like Tuesday which looked like Monday becomes monotonous for my ds.

As a child I was baptized by my dad in our backyard creek. We were sort of home-churched, so that made sense. I did go ahead and get rebaptized in a church as a young adult. Both of my older sons have been baptized in church, upon their confession of faith. Our belief is that baptism is a step of obedience that shows of an inward work of grace. Missionaries often have their converts baptize one another, so that the church continues to grow and thrive in the absence of seminary trained ministers.

In retrospect you are likely right. At the time, I was wondering how suspicious a parent could possibly be!

When I was a teen, I was AMAZED that a family who hosted a girl sleep-over made their sons go elsewhere for the night. That, I think, was overkill. The norm when I was growing up was separate sleeping arrangements for boys/girls. So either the boys or the girls should have retired to a bedroom for the night, leaving the living room for the opposite gender. It's not so much that both boys and girls were there overnight, it's that there were two boys and two girls all sleeping in the living room. It's also that the parents left while the kids were still there. I'm not comfy with this arrangement.

:iagree: My first thought was Ali Baba, prince of thieves. I don't ever think Ah-LEE with stress on the last syllable except for Mohammed Ali. I do think it's a boy's name. If I wanted to name my daughter something like that I would spell it with two l's. Allie or Ally.

My husband is in the position of the start-up employer. My sister-in-law works for him and he has had other employees as well. I'm thrilled with the way this type of employment allows flexibility for our family life and has enabled my husband to grow as a leader and in maturity. I'd say go for it, particularly since it's the best offer he has right now.

"Officially" met in February '95, one restaurant trip after church with youth. "Asked me out" May 30, '95 "First date" June, '95 "Found the ring" July 13, '95 (Dated one month before engagement) "Official Proposal" July 20, '95 "Wedding day" Nov. 11, '95 (Engaged for under 4 months)

scholaric.com is reasonably priced ($1 per child per month), and it is internet-based so it is forever updated, and the learning curve is the opposite of steep. Think "teacher planner book" online, with integrated grade book, report card and attendance/time tracking.

I want to add that I'd be open to adding another child (at least one) via adoption, but barring an accident I expect to be finished with childbearing physically. I have a heart for children and expect to be nurturing children in some fashion so long as I am physically able. If it is only in the church nursery!

ThinkWell Math, Grade Six. Loving, loving, loving it so far.:001_smile:

59.

Same here, but we attend a Southern Baptist church. Before that, there is a 1hr.15 min period for Sunday School (relaxed arrival time- about an hour for actual class).

What a wild thread! I am glad everything came out in the open so you know what is going on. I would not worry about your dd. I think she has your soft heart and caring attitude toward kids who need her. She is missing the mama bear-protect my cubs at all costs attitude. :D Good instincts, mama! I am glad you are going to contact somebody who is in a position to do some good perhaps.

You'll be surprised, too, how a few months makes a difference in your 3yo. Mine turned 3 on June 10 and in the past month he has potty trained himself and is VERY into coloring, etc. He wants to "do school" when the other kids do, so I bought him a Melissa & Doug letter/word puzzle activity box, a thick preK workbook, and the "About 3" series from Pathway (I think) Readers. It also has "Bigger Steps", "Color, Count and Cut" and "Doing My Best". I loaned out my WinterPromise Animals and Their Worlds resources, but once Alphabet Art comes back I will be doing Teach Me Joy's Animal Play as a themed Letter of the Week program.
