Ramona, Winnie the Pooh, Genius Files, Rush Revere, George's Secret Key to the Universe, Roald Dahl, Pippi, Mrs. Piggle Wiggle... Basically look at the literature selections from WWE 1 and find those on audible. :lol:

Rush Revere?

My kids have 3x5 cards that have the assignment and dot magnets that they flip over when completed.

I'm not a high stress person. Would this book be easy for me to read and teach my kids?

My son is doing LFC A. Personally, all he uses is the workbook and headventureland (which he uses as vocab review). My oldest has done Latin for a bit, though, so I don't find he answer key necessary. He doesn't watch the video because we have chants and the like we've found on YouTube. He's also working through GSWL, which is a GREAT primer and teaches the uses of cases very incrementally. He does it four days a week. On Monday he reviews the grammar and vocab for the chapter, Tuesday he does the worksheet, Wednesday he discusses derivatives with me and Thursday he does the quiz. He also does five sentences from GSWL each day. And that takes him 30-40 min. FWIW, when he finishes GSWL, it's unlikely that he'll move into LFC B.

My 11yo is just hitting this. All of a sudden she forgets to complete assignments, doesn't read instructions, skips steps in math. This is absolutely unlike her. And then when I remind her, oh the eye rolling! (Which is also unlike her.). She is taking forever on her subjects...I'm not really a slavedriver but apparently she needs 2 hours to remember to correct yesterday's Latin and write five new sentences. GAH! I bought her a planner. It's obviously not working. She doesn't want to check it. But the only reason she's remembering all of her work is because it falls within the routine of our day. But when she takes longer because her brain fell out, I have her set to the side and she can come back to it. Which she can't remember to do. Tell me my responsible child will find her way back?

We diagramed them as verbs because they do not answer any adjective questions. Nor were they really describing the subject. They aren't commonly used verbs, but it worked for us.

Logic of English Foundations. Not a workbook, fun, but fully gives the why.

My kids really like Fraction Formula. It's a bit like Black Jack with test tubes. :)

Nothing. Read aloud and talk about it, practice copywork and dictation and narration with read-alouds.

I can swim across the pool, but not with any proper strokes. I'm tentatively thinking of learning swimming form and maybe just swimming laps for exercise. I've heard of Total Immersion but I'm not athletic so I'm not sure I could teach myself this. Possible? My 10yo is a swimmer so maybe he could give me tips? The pool on base here does lessons. Is that for people who don't swim at all? Or should I consider lessons? They also offer a masters team, however I'm not sure that's the right spot to learn either. I'm not competitive and I'm severely asthmatic so I'm not sure I'd ever be fast.

Um... 154. :blush: BUT! I don't lump orders together. I order one thing at a time often because you never know when an item will ship or arrive here. And we did Christmas through Amazon. And subscribe and save. And a bunch of tiny $1 purchases for Cub Scout beads, etc.

My 4yo is slowly working towards blending words together. He has some language delay so it's even more gentle than we typically work with. He is barely able to sequence his name (4 letter nickname). But he can absolutely spell "poop." 🤦ðŸ¼â€â™€ï¸ :lol:

He's with his team and everything, but we didn't have enough advance notice to plan for a parent to go with. So now I'm left relying on the painfully slow updating of meet mobile to tell me how he's doing. And it's gut-wrenching. It's gonna be a long (3-day) meet. ðŸ™ðŸ¼ I hope he does well and remembers everything he should. And mostly I hope he has fun.

Would it help to have them pre-read the selection? Or you give them a heads up about what questions will come up? Are you trying to get through a whole chapter at once? If so, break it down into the individual sections. My oldest is language and history strong but she didn't really struggle with SOTW 3 in third grade.

In the first few weeks, it was a good 20 minutes. My 11yo is just finishing up week 22, and the parent part of the lessons now take about 15m, including reviewing the day before and mistakes in the exercises. But my girl works on the exercises for about 30-45 min after that. I'd allot 40-60 min if you can. (This is what I'm finding in sixth grade - an hour for writing, grammar, Latin, and sci/history and then another 60-90 min for the other little things to do: spelling/vocab, math, piano, reading - which she also does in the evening for pleasure.)

We are also LDS with boys attending in the community. I can understand the church's push for Scouting but sometimes we people get in the way. My oldest getting ready to move to a BSA troop as he's finished his webelos and AOL son one year. My younger son is only a Tiger and loved the opportunity he has to participate in scouts when he otherwise wouldn't be able to. My 4yo talks with great excitement about how he will do scouts when he's five. So with choice of girls participating, my 8yo is very enthused about the chance she has to join. I just some adults step in to help out. My husband is already advancement chair and I lead the Tiger den.

Our theater actually loves Movie Pass customers. The manager I spoke with once said that the seat I fill would be otherwise empty if I didn't use my Movie Pass. AND I'm more likely to buy concessions. We have seen four or five movies in the past six weeks, which is a lot for us. (And I bought a Diet Coke every time.) We bought ours from Costco so I feel like they have a good return policy. AND, they were pretty easy to process. You could just borrow someone's Costco number and purchase on your own

My daughter had something similar when we visited the Outer Banks last spring. If I had to peg it on anything it was stuff and sand rubbing between her and her suit. Doctor called it folliculitis.

I think my 8yo will be joining next year.

It really does ramp up in the middle there. I will have a fifth grader next year and he won't do it until at least sixth grade.

We still have some functional blockbusters in Anchorage. But Red Box is closer. And at the commissary we can buy 3-packs of microwave popcorn at $0.89 a box, which had a coupon for a free Red Box rental. We still have GCI at the moment, but I'm not pleased with how they're dropping channels like dead flies.

If the book is a PDF you can email it to an account that will convert it and send it to your kindle.

Driving the ALCAN is an adventure in itself. It'd take more than a week to drive here and back. You could fly in and see some things: Flat Top, Exit or Byron Glacier, Denali...
