We're in Baltimore City. Are there any other Marylanders here?

We've had good luck finding things on youtube, but I wouldn't recommend letting the kids on there unsupervised.

I've done a lot of thinking on this issue lately. Part of modesty is about not drawing attention to yourself. You dont want either you or your dds the subject of male attention or to cause a male to stumble. But, if we are not careful, in our efforts to be covered, we look different and thereby will draw attention to ourselves.
For example, the bathing suit issue. I think all who are modest will agree that bikinis are way to revealing and are like wearing our underwear in public. But, which will draw more attention at a pool or beach: a conservative one piece or a "bathing outfit made for modesty". In many cases, the bathing outfit will look so out of place that heads cant help but turn. So, instead of not drawing attention to our bodies, we have caused heads to turn and look at our dress.
Looking different and drawing attention don't bother me as much as not being covered would. I believe God has called us (as Christians) to be a peculiar people, in the world, but not of the world. Being "otherworldly," as it would be, can sometimes result in you being different than those around you.

Just a "Sorry, but no" should cover it.

I saw Richard Louv speak about a year ago and he was big on just letting kids have unstructured time outdoors, to run around, get dirty, explore, etc. While my kids aren't old enough for me to be comfortable letting them run around the neighborhood, I try to send them outside as much as possible.

Dd and I generally don't wear swimsuits when it can be avoided. When we went to the pool last, she wore a light dress over shorts and I wore a wrap skirt with a tank top.
On the modestly issue, I have found more and more that I am at my most comfortable when I am covered. I have also noticed that I am treated more respectfully when I am dressed modestly. I generally go with long skirts and shirts that provide good coverage. I also cover my head for religious reasons.
I get some of my clothes from www.hannahlise.com and dd's dresses from www.theplaydress.com

Can you close the kittens in a room while you're out so they don't poo everywhere?
-
I might add a cell phone to our plan so that I could keep track of her when she's out. My mom did that with my brother and called it his electronic leash. She would be responsible for paying for any charges over the normal amount though.
These would be fine with me:
4. Hair that has been dyed blonde or any other color
5. Ears pierced with 2 or more holes each (DD has one hole per ear)
I think that putting an emphasis on outward appearance actually encourages rebellion. I don't care if my kids' hair is a blue trihawk and they have six holes in each ear, as long as they're respectful and kind.

We homeschool year round.
The kids are off school for Christmas week, their birthdays, and we take 2 or 3 half week trips away. We do a lot of field trips too, so there are 2-3 days a month we don't do bookwork.
-
You could talk to your librarian about giving the kids a tour of the library and call that your library skills class.

Ds1 is on his fourth year using the Pathway readers and workbooks and his third year with Singapore Math.

We are using Prudence and the Millers for K and Abeka for 1st
I thought Prudence and the Millers was more for 4-6th graders?
-
We use SOTW and get the books via interlibrary loan. What I've been doing is reserving the books on our library's website for the next 3-4 weeks worth of lessons. Any books I can't find, I take the titles to the librarian for her to hunt down.
-
I'm looking for appropriate movies for my 5 and 8 year olds to go along with the material in SOTW year 3 that I can add to my Blockbuster Online queue. Any suggestions? Movies that your family liked?

Ellie, I just started a R&S thread asking about them :)
-
Where does it explain what the repping is for?
-
They have good prices on organic frozen veggies. They're also the cheapest source I've found for the Kashi bars.

I like the book Irresistable Revolution by Shane Claiborne for lighting a fire under your butt.
-
My kids are going to be 8 and 5 this year (and 3 and 1). I'm re-reading The Well Trained Mind and wondering how this gets applied. What exactly does the grammar stage look like with other homeschoolers? How does it inform your approach to teaching?
-
Are you thinking of using it for every subject?
This year I bought their Kindergarten stuff for dd (the ABC series, actually by Rod and Staff) and the Bridges Beyond 4th grade reader for ds. Because we use the Pathway readers and workbooks for language arts with ds, I didn't get the accompanying lessons for Bridges Beyond.
I am considering the Learning to Read series from CLE for dd when she completes the kindergarten books. I'd really like to see their math for me because I keep hearing good things about it.

I ordered the RS4K Pre-level 1 Chemistry and was suprised that it was only 10 weeks. I thought maybe that was just because it was the Pre-Level stuff. Is it the higher levels as well?
-
In the 2008-09 thread, it seemed like a lot of people listed different Rod and Staff things in with their curriculum.
If you use it, why did you choose it? What did you like about it? Any dislikes?
Where do you buy it from?
