:lol:Thats the plan I purposefully have been packing and not washing laundry all week so I have some to do when I go.

We are moving to OH this weekend :auto: and I won't have internet setup at home for a while. I will pop in from time to time from the local laundry mat (they have free wifi :lol:) I figure dh can't complain too much if I am still doing so form of housework :lol:

I am winging it with dd5, dd9 is doing cursive and pretty good at it. dd12 needs a little work she is a lefty and I think she just wasn't taught well how to write as a lefty (she has been both hs/pvt schooled) I used a reason for handwriting cursive with her when I last schooled her in 5th. I don't plan on adding anything other than basic mama made sheets and printables unless I see a need arise.

With our move I am looking up all the places we saw that I don't know anything about. So is it just an ice cream place? is it fast food? donuts & coffee? I am confused their is a lot of info on wikipedia :lol:

When they have a job & car and are able to pay for it by them selves. Their is far to much tween/teen drama with children of my friends it confirms it for me every time I hear a texting horror story.

Very little, We don't have cable or any reception for regular TV just netflix. We are moving and wont have internet at home for a while so hopefully I will join the local library quickly and have some educational options. On a daily basis we watch maybe 30 mins to an hour and its usually educational. I put on Dora daily for dd2 when she asks but she never sits and watches it more than 2 mins. occasionally we will do a family movie.

lunch today was cheese omelets trying to use up everything in the fridge the bee in my bonnet is the fact that we are moving Sunday and have a lot to do still no cruise for me, have fun.

I do have a 3 hole punch. and I do have foam letter stickers that I bought to do the kids accountable kids boards, forgot aboot them! that sounds awesome what is the store called? I do have 1/4 of a pack of popsicle sticks just found them going through my bow making stuff. aww..will do thanks Jennifer.:D

Anyone in this area? We are moving this weekend. I know their is a Catholic HS group but we are baptist. Looking to go church shopping too if anyone has any recommendations in this area.

No idea, dh puts a bunch of his movies on their for himself. We have been watching liberty kids and myth busters a lot. dd2 loves anything with sea animals so we watch lots of that too. I started watching "My so called life" lol

The notbook paper would be for school work but part of the supply budget. :D I just found a brandnew pack of colored pencils in my silverware drawer... amazing how things end up in strange places when you are packing/moving

for all your school/art/craft supplies for 2 months for 3.5 kids what would you buy? I already have pencils/pens markers chaulk some crayons 1/2 a thing of colored paper 100 or so sheets of white printer paper scissors glue sticks I know I need atleast 3 journals so that is at least $3 (unless I can find them cheaper) I will need notebook paper atleast 1 pack.

Go to your local library website. See if they list the information that you need to get a library card. We are moving next week and the local library doesn't tell you what you need for a card. I have lived all over and have never run into this, they all seem to tell you what you need. I am kinda bummed because I really hate calling places for this type of info :glare:

I ordered a salad once and I asked for ranch dressing. They brought our a tiny little 1/2 cup of ranch and it was a separate charge for $2 I was like doesn't dressing COME with a salad :glare: apparently only if you ask for "house" dressing usually "house" is ranch. they took it off my bill after about a 20 minute convo.. never went back again.

You got me pegged. I guess what I mean to say is that its hard to go from what I am used to to figuring out a new states rules (separating them in my mind kwim?) I have HS'ed in FL, PA and now Ohio. I just wish that all states where the same would be less confusing.

:D anyone know the answer to the above. I called the school board and the person who would know isn't in today.

I am wondering if my girls will need an assessment. They both had PSSA standardized testing that they just finished last week. And my youngest wont be 6 until Aug 8th. I assume OH would want test results to confirm this. Then next year I would have to do the narrative & testing or evaluation? Man I thought PA laws where rough but trying to wrap your mind around new laws after leaving PA is almost as hard lol

Long story short, I didn't think we would be moving so soon. I hadn't planned on HS'ing until this summer. I now will be starting 2nd week of April. I don't have every single thing I need. I have my 5yr old covered other than math (I plan on MEP but don't have the time/ink to print it all out before Sunday) I have language arts somewhat covered for my 9yr old but nothing else. I have History & Math covered for my 7th grader. In a perfect world I would just go on a shopping spree but that is not happening. I won't have the ability to print unless I go to the library. I have free wifi where I am at now but I wont when we move. It's not like I can drag my printer to the coffee shop with me. I printed 2 weeks worth of Math worksheets for my 3rd grader. I had planned on saving money over time and buying stuff slowly till fall. I am trying to print or save as many files as I can before we move on Sunday. What should I focus my time on? any ideas on some quick things I can put together over the next few days until we figure out what we are going to do for internet?

:Dis this the Katie I think it is?

Is standardized testing yearly? or is it like 3rd, 5th & 8th grades (its something like that here)

My girls where calling it Stupidville. They thought that is what I said :lol:. When you say it out loud though it does almost sound like stupidville :lol:

:lol: I knew you would be excited lol. Do your Letters of intent neednotarizedd? we have to do that here. I didn't see a spot for that on the forms. I know to here in PA we have to submit physicals, dental exams and shot records ( I submit vaccination objection forms) Do I have to deal with that in OH too?

Steubenville....or "just barley Ohio" as we are calling it right now :lol: I think I will call and let them know that we are moving and the kids have been in Pvt School but I will be HS'ing for the remaining 7-8 weeks of school. I just don't want a truancy officer at my door or something. If they tell me I need to file I will. Otherwise I am just going to "promote" the girls to the next grade and start on next years work.

:D just bumping this up to stay on the main page.

Tell me everything I need to know to take them out and start HS'ing. We are treating the 4/4-4/8 as our "spring break" and plan to start schooling the following Monday. I want to make sure I get all the proper paperwork filled and such. Has anyone made a move like this? Where do I start?
