Oh I missed it!! Do you know of other group buys? My children have been begging me to renew.

I have gotten these SS number calls. So odd!

My daughter once cried out that she wanted to ”eat the color pink.” She was pretty small and I tried to understand what she was asking, but it wasn't pink candy, etc. Maybe she has synesthesia?

I think is very true and a reason boys are more commonly redshirted.

In The Gospel Coalition article there is an image of a question of the week. I would love to know how to access those. Anyone know how to find these? I tried to locate it on the CLT site, but didn't see anything.

What a neat opportunity for the Teen Glight program! Is this a national or just a local group?

I was a Bonner Scholar in college which had a lot to do with the service I did in high school. Definitely a great scholarship program to look into if your student will have significant hours.

What math would the student need to complete before using this text/video/lab?

How old was this religious site?

That a great distinction, but aren’t lots of baby chairs, swings, etc. inclined? I have a 6 week old baby so I’m quite interested to understand why this one is so much more dangerous than other products.

30 deaths is a lot, but over 10 years and millions of uses for countless hours this does seem very tiny. I don’t want to debate vaccine or other products, but what are the statistics for injury/death there and they are not recalled.

If you’ve not purchased/used MUS in previous years is this an option to use only these years?

I am assuming he has mastered or leveled up on some skills during mission questions but then missed a similar question during a mastery challenge. You can level up on some skills by getting 3/4 questions correct and level up to “Practiced” then miss that skill’s question the next time it appears and it will go back to category of skills not yet practiced or begun. I’m on my phone and the app doesn’t show this part like on a web browser on the computer.

I haven’t read everything because I get too emotional thinking about these things, but my mom was not breastfeeding and they treated her for mastitis multiple times before she ended up in the ER after debilitating pain—she drove herself to the hospital during labor/transition(!!!). She was not someone with a low pain tolerance, but could not get off her bathroom floor. It was inflammatory breast cancer. Please read about that.

I’d love to hear more about Reader’s Theater. How would one do this at home? I have my 9 yo/3rd grader read aloud to his K/1 sister everyday to listen to his enunciation.

My son is 9 and we are using it. We download the app for a level and he goes through that. Then he works on that level in the Verbal Word Problems book until its complete. Then move on to the point level...

We plan on trying Classical Conversations Foundations and Essentials next year. Is there something besides the big TWSS that I should buy from IEW to prepare myself my and son?

What age/grade can one begin to take CLEP tests? Like if my son took the College Algebra and passed would this help for college placement? How long do CLEP scores remain on record? Do they ever expire?

My son, age 9, got Carcassone, Ticket to Ride First Journeys, Clue, Settlers of Catan, and Labyrinth for Christmas this year. We play a lot of games.

Perhaps the Gattegno Textbook. https://issuu.com/eswi/docs/gattegno-math-textbook-1 Read a section or two then make up some rod play based on the section. Education Unboxed can help too. My son loved Dragonbox apps when he was tiny too.

I would probably do some Khan Academy to see what they have mastered and what skills they still struggle with.

I just requested from my library a book called A Guide for Using D'Aulaires' Book of Greek Myths in the Classroom by Cynthia Ross. I still don't know if we'll register this year. My son got a gold medal last year on the basic 30 questions. We might try the 5th grade subtest on Underworld, but not sure if we will. I am expecting a baby in Feb/March. I seem to remember a few years back seeing a list of the topic schedule from many years back of past tests. I'd love to try to find that again.

Costco. If you have a membership. Ours had a section of lights that didn't work the third year. We returned it to Costco. Gorgeous tree for an artificial tree.

My sister-in-law also went to Guilford. I remember she had an issue with course offerings a few semesters and ended up needing to take a few at UNC to complete her program on time. She went on to get a MD/PhD and is now finishing her fellowship in neonatolgy with research in placental health in relation to the fetal brain development with imaging. She is now applying for jobs and getting offers from Yale, Tufts, Dallas, Northwestern, etc.

That's impressive for sure, Gil. I’d be looking into tutors or college courses. What about Physics? Or the online open MIT courses? Or a deep science/engineering project to apply the math they’ve learned this year. They are old enough for Broadcom MASTERS.
