Are Ikea's Billy bookcase better
faith_hope_love replied to ksr5377's topic in General Education Discussion Board
I second this! Another advantage is the coordinating accessories like glass doors, extra shelves, matching cd/dvd tower . . . -
How to after school
faith_hope_love replied to lovinmomma's topic in Parents' Forum Afterschooling Board
What a helpful thread! I've migrated to the afterschooling board as my kiddos start Montessori school this fall after a couple years of homeschooling. -

Nightlights - does one like this exist?
faith_hope_love replied to k2bdeutmeyer's topic in General Education Discussion Board
If you're anywhere near an Ikea, they have some cute little tabletop night lights: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/search/?query=SP%C3%96KA -
"Manning up" my boy?
faith_hope_love replied to redsnapper's topic in General Education Discussion Board
This is the first thing that came to my mind too. Whenever my son feels anxious or overwhelmed/overstimulated by the environment he's in, he expresses those feelings through goofiness. I've found that in group settings he's more at ease around kids a bit younger (not too young- maybe a year or less). -Faith -
I'll join you in the "could this be perimenopause?" club :001_smile: I'm 38 and I've also noticed some changes related to my cycle. I've had the pre-period spotting, but didn't think anything of it. Then, my PMS mood swings got worse, but I chalked that up to increased stress. During the last couple months I've been hit with morning-sickness grade nausea during my period. THAT got my attention and I've been reading up on all things perimenopause.

I love "None of Your Business" Academy! You could even translate it into Latin to sound more academic/official. -Faith

These are a few my son loves: Franklin Richards: Son of a Genius (Marvel) collections of the "Cul de Sac" comic strip graphic novel versions of "The Boxcar Children" -
Looking for a nice wall calendar
faith_hope_love replied to kristinannie's topic in K-8 Curriculum Board
I use Amy Knapp's Big Grid calendar. It's 22"x15" when open and has a nice big space for each day. https://www.familyorganizer.com/product.aspx?id=121 Faith -
Thanks for starting this thread. These links are great! I'm new to homeschooling and recently switched to Miquon with my 8-year old after crashing and burning with a worksheet-based program. My son's first reaction to the cuisinare rods was "We used these in school. Boring!" He must have used them in class last year for one or two lessons with Everyday Math. If it at all resembles the math he experienced at public school, he wants nothing to do with it (thanks, school!). We are getting to a point where we've worked enough from Miquon that he's been able to start to enjoy it. I can't believe I'm using a curriculum from the 70's, but that has to say something about it's effectiveness! -Faith
