I wouldn't. I considered putting my advanced K'er into first grade at the semester point during his K year. I even went ahead and started him on first grade math (he had finished his K level book). While he is now a very advanced reader and excels at all his lessons, I am thankful I kept him in K. I would prefer he be a nice mature 17.5 before graduating, TYVM.

I have had some of these feelings, specifically with regard to my dh and his stance on more children (I think we *may* eke one more out, but it's a hard issue for him).
What has helped is to look at all the things dh has given me:
Two wonderful sons, a roof over our heads in a safe neighborhead, safe transportation, the privilege of staying at home to educate our children (which is not a necessity in his mind).
Then I think, how is it fair for *me* to get most/all of my wishes and desires, while he foots the bill? And while many of his wishes and desires are foregone? So that has helped me a lot.

I am sure there are many SL books in the TQ list. The TQ list is nearly exhaustive! I love it. It has helped me so much with my WinterPromise program (just a touch of tweaking, and adding the commentary so far). I found that many, if not most of my WP books were listed.
-
I think that's perfect. TQ is such a free form program. It would be hard to ruin it, IMO.
-
I was wondering if they did it to up the number of books on their list... maybe they don't have it or don't really want to sell it but they figure it's better to have a larger number of books. :confused:
-
Thanks again! I *think* I'm on their list... better go check!

I am trying to decide what I want each family to purchase. The cd or the kit.
So for 60.00 I can get all 4 cd's worth of materials?
Be aware, this is ONLY the consumable stuff. You don't get the printed out text with that at all. The printed out text and the CD are part of the WP theme. (IOW, to have it ALL and ALL printed, you'd have to buy the $149 Time Travelers set (includes printed out text) and the $59 student pack.

I put mine on file folders, taped together accordion style. (I just did the period we're studying, so it wasn't too bulky). I bought the WinterPromise figures for $10. They're already colored and dated so it's like falling off a log to finish the timeline.

Thanks a bunch, Kate! I did figure out that HitW includes the Bible and Church history in their package, so that you'd need to compare $39.98 to $75... but then I also found where HitW prohibits resale, so I guess I need to see if I can get them on sale or through WinterPromise's gift certificate bonus program if they do that next Christmas. Thanks for the review... it sounds like HitW is what I will be wanting (down the road... I guess I can wait. ;-D)

You can also click User Control Panel (CP) and it will show all the posts you have responded to if someone has responded after you. If you click "show all subscribed posts" at the top of that list of posts, it will show the ones even where nobody has responded after you.
-
The 60 dollar package includes ALL four CDs worth of materials (at least the ones scheduled in the WinterPromise program). (but it does not include the CD, that comes with the main theme set).
I believe as the previous poster said, your materials will last you far longer than 1.5 hours per week if you want to get through all 4 CDs.

I couldn't open it either (Firefox user).

Hopefully somebody here has seen and/or used both of these CD Timeline Figures.
Why is the Homeschool in the Woods set $75 while the Hold That Thought one is $19.95? Is it that much easier to use or more flexible?
Thanks in advance!

Now, I have to stand up and defend the THREE wonderful male nurses from my church. Two of them are homeschool graduates and I think it is an EXCELLENT field for a compassionate Christian young man. If I had a 14yo ds like the OP I would prefer one of these young men to care for him over about 2/3 of the female nurses I have met. However, it is wrong for the agency to go against your wishes and I am sure if your male nurse seemed creepy you should always follow your instinct.

I'm with all of the above posters who said before, during and after. Here's our rundown:
Morning: make beds, unload dishwasher, put clothes in washer, swish and swipe the bathrooms.
During AM: do breakfast dishes, sweep kitchen if needed
At LONG lunch break for this purpose: Pick up and straighten up, finish laundry, do vacuuming, mopping, dusting, Windex as needed.
After school: Yard work, Re-clean the kitchen (it will be a mess from lunch and snacks), work on supper, then load dishwasher again. Pick up and straighten up again till we all fall in a heap.
AND it mostly still needs more attention than it gets.

You are ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. I would ask the district manager the name of her supervisor if she won't assist you properly.

Play "Heads Up Seven Up", "Telephone/Gossip"... You'll be surprised how fast the thirty minutes goes. You could also change the pizza time to 5:45 and let the kids eat who are there on time. Those who come after that deserve cold pizza, ROFL.

Praying here!

ROFL. :lol::lol::lol:
Not a baby much longer, eh?

Look on the WinterPromise website FAQ page if you want a different perspective about history. I agree with some of TWTM theories, but on history, we part ways. The WP approach (which can be used to do some Classical studies, but is different in theory) fits my way of thinking better. (So I'd recommend finishing AS1 and then picking what you want to do next).

We delayed history. For first grade we did Animals and Their Worlds science and literature theme from WinterPromise. For second we are doing American Story 1 history and literature theme (WinterPromise again). I haven't decided whether to do a one year World History overview for third grade or to continue with American Story 2 next.
Like the previous poster, I like to stick with what ds can understand. Here's a verbatim quote from him, "It's always the most fun to learn about YOUR home." (I had never talked about this subject, it was all him.)

This is our second week. We had to start a bit early as our start date and our summer vacation were conflicting. I *wasn't* quite ready, but it has been smooth as silk and fun to boot!
Math curriculum that is FUN? (MUS ? as well)
in K-8 Curriculum Board

I also prefer BJU Math to any of the others. It's *fun enough* while still giving me the secure feeling of a solid traditional program.
