If you can't find a sugar pumpkin, you can use sqaush instead

I wear leggings or silk long underwear.

I would think a bit of anxiety wouldn't be unlikely after all that. Maybe rescue remedy would help? It is a flower essence.

We are happily using the Geography cards for my 8 year old. She is very much able to do these with a little guidance from me. I'm shuffling through them to loosely correlate with our US History studies. She doesn't finish a whole card in a week, but we'll get back to them as we go through the year.

Do you mean you use Ghee if you aren't avoiding dairy? :confused: Ghee is clarified butter.

Lots of ideas here: Unsolicited Advice Blog and My Delicious Ambiguity Blog.

I know an Isaac who is called Ike.

I always use butter on my waffle iron. I don't see why coconut oil wouldn't work.

My dd was a struggling reader at the beginning of 2nd. I don't think she was even reading frog and toad. Sometime in january her reading started to improve,and she found a old Dick and Jane book. Then i started having her read for about twenty minutes a day (which she didn't mind at that point). Now (beginning of 3rd) she is reading the 4th Harry Potter book. Some time during late spring my husband read the first one to her, then said he'd read the second one *with* her. She ended up reading that one nearly all on her own. She slogged through the 3rd by herself,and is now on #4. Nothing like a very compelling book to get your kid to read!

We are working our way through Hakim's History of US, and are on the chapter regarding the Southwest tribes. I'm looking for a good, historical, literature suggestion for this region (preferably set before european arrival). Anyone have a good book to recommend? I'd prefer a chapter book to read aloud to my 8 year old daughter. Thanks!

We always make a yogurt sauce when we make indian food: yogurt, cumin, turmeric, cayenne. Yum! Or it is also good plain on top of indian food. My kids like it ther,but won't just eat the stuff plain.

I don't think I'd be particularly worried, but it wouldn't hurt to see a urologist. Maybe it would give you peace of mind?

Here's what my husband said: The Bureau of Criminal Apprehension has an offender locator so you can figure out what prison they are in, but finding their crime is surprisingly difficult. State inmates are way easier. I think they would have to file a freedom of information act request to the facility the inmate is in. http://www.bop.gov/foia/index.jsp They could also do a search in a database like lexis or westlaw for the inmate's case. Although the case needs to have made it to the court of appeals to stand a chance of being published. I would suggest they visit or call their local county law library.

Maybe you can let her play more during spelling. Have her spell problem words with 5 foot letters on your driveway with chalk, or a squirt gun or whatever....then tightrope over the letters. Maybe her smiley faces can have thought bubbles with the words, etc.

Thebook recommends 2' x 3', which seems huge. After looking at some past threads here, thats what I got. So far it seems very spacious, but we are only on level one.

Yes - it is public record. I'll ask my husband for more specific info- he is a prison librarian.

I really want to like it, but I'm not inspired so far....

I've only been in one earthquake, and don't recall the sound, but i wonder if that is more indicative of dominant senses than of the presence of sound??

I listed the wrong game above - we have Beowulf: The Movie. (The other Beowulf game must be math-related as well, but I haven't played that one.)

Both milk products and alcohol help Your mouth, not your eyes. :w00t:

Beowulf: The Legend is the math one. Apparently the creator, Reiner Knizia, incorporates math into many (all?) of his games -might be a place to start! ___________________________________________________________- Ok, actually, we have Beowulf: The Movie - maybe they are both math games?

I really like the books Family Math & Games for Math. For us, doing a variety of games works best. You might consider a living math approach.Stuart Murphy has a whole series of fun math books (fairly young - not sure what math level she is at). Beowulf by Fantasy Flight Games, is apparently a good math game (says my husband; however, there are two different Beowulf games by that co, and I'm not sure which one it is). I totally agree with your approach to work on making math fun, before working on memorizing facts and learning new processes.

That sounds exhausting. I hope things improve for you.

I use canning jars for all sorts of things that aren't actually sealed: water bottles, (homemade) yogurt and buttermilk containers, soup containers, etc. I keep used lids around for those uses.

I tried the same thing, but ended up logging in, just in case it would work with a different browser. It didn't, now I can't log out. PSA: Don't log in!
