My son is 7 and his choice toy is always Legos. If he likes "games" maybe try to buy him some non-electronic game to enjoy. My son is the same and limited to electronics on the weekends. He plays Chess and Risk on the weekdays. :)

Thank you! I really want something that will teach her math and foster a love for math. I think BJU may be just the ticket! Does it use manipulatives like Saxon? That is my one draw towards Saxon.

Hi, currently I use Horizons for my 2nd Grader and he had done very well with it, however my daughter needs something a little slower-paced. I am not interested in non-traditional math and am really just wanting experiences with BJU and Saxon. Thank you!

Personally I like the all brown ones. Sometimes they seem a little old fashioned I suppose but that makes them entertaining! I don't like the blue ones nearly as much!

Last year I bought Beautiful Feet Early American History for my kindergartner. I was hoping to spread the books over two years, but my son loved them so much we only have two books left! I would love to continue with something similar, any recommendations?!

Our first day of school is always a light day. We start with a treasure hunt, the treasure is a big box with school supplies, games, etc. We make a sign with their name and grade level, take pictures, and fill out our first day of school booklet. We start new read-alouds, play with our new games, have a special snack. The treasure hunt is the most fun.
Great ideas and love the booklet! I never thought of a "Not back to school day" awesome!

Thank! I am so excited to start, it looks like soooo much fun!

Those of you that have used this program, what books do you consider essential to the program? Thanks

Anyone know if you can purchase the jingles separately? Is there an audio CD?
Yes! Here:

If you want a simple pre-k geography, I compiled a list of story books that I read with my then 4yo that were set in various countries. We just read the book and labeled the country on the wall map. You can find my list of books on my blog. Some people prefer more hands-on stuff, but this was sufficient for us.
What an awesome list of books! Thanks so much!

We are going to be doing Expedition Earth from Confessions of a Homeschooler. It looks SO fun!

Sports, definitely #1 (soccer, basketball, tennis, swimming for the boy) (ballet, gymnastics and swimming for the girl)
Music #2 although more pricy monthly

We used Horizons for K. Now I am using Math Mammoth and Horizons. I think it will work really well for us. Check out samples online and see what appeals to you and your child.

Pattern blocks, learning puzzles (maps, animals), lacing beads.

These types of threads make me want to buy every book listed! Anyone else??

Every day: Math, Phonics, Reading, Bible and History
Alternating: Art, Geography, Science, Handwriting

I have a 1st grader and Pre-K. I would like a little of both independent work and guided art crafts. They both are very creative! Thanks for your help!
-
We are going to use Shurley.

I want to make an art box full of supplies that I can pull out and make fun crafts with the kids. What would you put in your art box?
-
My kids are ready to make their Christmas lists...but we told them they needed to wait until Fall. Too many other things to plan and do before thinking about Christmas gifts. :)

Get some homeschool support! Go out and meet up with other homeschoolers, they will help encourage you in your choice. :)

Timberdoodle!

Just curious, are there samples of the jingles somewhere?

A year or so ago someone posted a First Day of School memory book. I thought I had downloaded it, but can't find it now. If you have one to share could you please post a link? Thank you!
