I purposely exposed my kids (twice) this winter when we had a large outbreak in this area - all three had it and now we're done! My sister's kids caught it from an unknown source a few years ago.

Also, unschooling conversations seem to always end with people's feelings hurt - I think a good plan is to not take personally other people's definitions, issues, psychoses - which are generally more about them than you, anyway.

I like how you laid out, step-by-step. your process of developing your plan for science - thanks!
-
Thank you for the ideas! We are currently reading Twig, which is absolutely wonderful and enjoyed especially by my 4 year old, but my 9 year old is also listening along and likes it as well.

I wonder if they have the kinks sorted out this time. Last time was an abysmal failure, I think.
-
I think that's a great idea, Tammy! I haven't done that (except for read-alouds). I'm in a bit of a reading drought right now, and this might be just the ticket!
-
Ew. I would have overreacted too.

As an adult who hasn't done very much algebra in the past 20 years, I found it to be a great reminder. I would say that if kids are having a hard time with a concept, going back to that point in dragon box and talking about it more explicitly might be helpful for some kids. That said, my rising 4th grader thinks it is a fun puzzle, and seems to get it (in that she understands what she needs to do - and it isn't just trial and error on each level). She doesn't understand exactly why it works - I'm hoping it will be helpful when we get around to algebra.

For me, they are all calculated at their regular price when I add to my cart. :/ How is it possible to have so many different problems with their system??? I'm also seeing a bunch that are in the dollar sale, but also out of stock.

Yes - we use T-Mobile. My husband has a phone that has averaged out to less than $5 a month for the past 3 years (bought a $100 credit, and then minutes don't expire for a year - can add on to make them roll over). My plan is $30/month - just 100 minutes, but unlimited data and texts for my android. Neither of us use the phone for talking very much. We have a landline.
Lots more dead spots for us too, than my family members who use verizon.

We have tried a topical approach where concepts or topics were culled from different books then presented during the same time frame of lesson or lessons.
That was a lot of work for us so it has been dropped for a simpler approach. Now we just do each resource (text, web, other) on its own day. For example- (Day 1) Reasoning Mind, (Day 2) Singapore, (Day 3) Mathematics 6, (Day 4) J. Tanton, and (Day 5 ) off. Then the cycle restarts at Day 1.
Note, our current is a 3 days on 1 day off rotation fwiw.
I've been trying this, too. But, how do you prevent grade 3 math from lasting 5 years?

So.... who is going to find out the answers for us? :bigear: :D
Surely someone here has a kid doing a usps project.... :001_smile:

The sale is on - I started a new thread.

Here.
Anything good?

:lol: It will be interesting to see if Ms. Frizzle really has 52 different pairs of earrings. So far we got a planet, bread slices, lunch boxes, life preservers, dragonflies, mushrooms, and salamandars.
I had a bus driver like that when i was little - different dangly earrings every day. I thought it was really fun!
-
I have no idea - I hope someone can answer this question, because it seems weird to me, too.
-
My understanding is that forevers are worth the current rate of a first class letter that weighs less than an ounce, so yes - you could put two forever stamps on there and send it on its way.

he has made it closer to home, he is at another exit and has called for another jump... will use up his jumps and then use is "tows" and then I will pick him up where he lands if no one else can grab him LOL I have no cell, so I will be dead in the wind, if I run out of gas... so he needs to get close LOL
Sounds like a long night! Hoping he can just make it all the way home!!
-
Well - maybe he could have his battery charged AND towed 13 miles (maybe the driver would take pity and eek out a few extra miles), and then see how far he gets? Too bad it's night time - he could get so much farther without lights!
-
OMG - these are hilarious. The poison control ladies must have special "be-extra-nice-to-fragile-parents training".
-
I hyphenated. My husband kept his name. My kids have my maiden name as their middle names and dh's name as their last.
-
Instead of fruit juice, she could get V8, and use it as a base for a vegetable soup.
-
We usually do left-overs or easy lunches that no one will complain about. ;) Things such as sandwiches (pb & J, grilled cheese, blt's), muffin tin meals (little bits of everything in a muffin tin), nachos, hummus and veggies are all winners in my house.

All 52 are on Discovery Education Streaming - I've loaded them on our iPod, and then the terrible quality is just fine! ;)

My kids also like Sassafras. They are 10 & 4.
