Thanks! I added it to my read aloud list.

The pencils in my house just mysteriously disappear. I feel like pencils are always on my list of supplies to buy.

I asked for a GC for a massage and then told him I found a Groupon. :001_smile:

OK the first ones that came to mind were Jaws, then Rollerball. I was 11. I'm sure my parents took me to see Disney films when I was younger, but the scary/violent ones popped into my memory first, go figure.

Hi.

Nutribullet Fleece lounge pants & shirt Groupon for a 90 minute massage The Nutribullet came yesterday I think the kids are more excited than DH.

Can anyone tell me how to print MM with more space on each page? Thx

Yes, that is what it sounds like to me. But I'm a rebel and I will use Fred as our main math with a supplement. :001_smile:

Hmm, I totally missed that. I'll have to check out Professor B.

2 pages of MM seems doable. How many lessons for LoF are you able to fit in each week? Or do you just plug it in here and there?

Is this the topical series? I just purchased MM Fractions I to give it a try. For $3.50 I figured I couldn't go wrong.

LoF Fractions is the first book where I can see the problems getting more challenging and thought provoking. The algebra books look interesting, but we are not quite there yet.

Yes we like doing problems on the white board, or I have him spread them out on notebook paper.

I am not too familiar with this one, I'll have to check it out.

I've been looking at MM, but the pages look so busy/crowded. There just seems like there is not enough white space. I recently purchased one of the Fraction books from MM. I'll let DS try it out and see if he feels the same way about the layout.

Right now my DS is using MUS Epsilon and Life of Fred Fractions. Epsilon is feeling disjointed for him, and we have been watching Khan Academy videos to supplement most of the topics in MUS. So I am looking for suggestions. If you use LoF, what do you use alongside or as a supplement? Thanks!

You should not assume since we use the history sentences as our starting point, that we do not have a strong emphasis on history. We do not skip important periods of history. We take our time, it is not a race. We make the program work for us. No two families in our community do things at home in the same way.

I use bookfinder.com It searches several bookseller sites and then gives you a listing according to price - both new and used. You can search by title and ISBN.

I'm sorry you did not have a good experience in your community. I would like to address the "memorizing out of context" issue. The way we approach our CC memory work at home is to dig into the history sentence and science each week. CC provides us with the "bones" and then we put the "meat" on that skeleton throughout the year. We can do as much or as little as we want for each subject.

Thank you and you're welcome, absolutely they need to respond. But I do not force my children to hug or say I love you to anyone. It needs to be their idea. I have nieces and nephews that need to "make the rounds" before leaving a family gathering. These kids are just doing it to please their parents, there is no emotion in their hugs at all. It feels cold and forced. I actually think it is quite sad they are made to do this.

We found this little video tutorial extremely helpful. It was put together by a mom on this board. http://www.teachingstars.com/2013/06/29/beware-of-the-blob-a-video-guide-to-getting-started-with-geography-blobs/

No experience with refusing an induction, but the dr's attitude really irks me. Hopefully you will have a stress-free birth whenever your sweet baby is ready.

I received a shipping notification from UPS, and I just happened to track my order. I am in Illinois so that may be why it is so quick.

Our copy will be here tomorrow. WooHoo! :hurray:

I know I said I was finished buying for this school year, but this looks too good. I am on way to order now, lol
