I'm guessing that Janice makes TOG great. I'm pretty sure that I'd never be able to teach that way no matter what curriculum I was using!

Ugh. Me too. My hair really isn't even that long AND I usually have it wadded up in a clip, but it still gets everywhere. Poor dh wanders around with long blond hairs all over his fleeces.
I'm with you on being glad that there are others who deal with this too. I thought I was the only one!

Not sure what RS does in the future, but we're in C right now & they have started drilling the tables on the weekly review sheets as well as in the daily review.

I just got a very basic one a couple of months ago & I really like it. I think I"m going to buy the tool that allows you to easily vacuum under furniture, but other than that I'm completely satisfied. I bought mine at woot.com for $225 shipped--they just had another one the other day so if you're willing to wait a month or two you could probably get one through them.

I just started this this afternoon. I have one wart on my finger & I'm using white vinegar simply b/c I didn't have any apple cider vinegar. :)

Thank you for posting this! I've been wishing that they had a system like this--never realizing that it had been there all along :)

5yo ds got The Jesus Storybook Bible http://www.wtsbooks.com/product-exec/product_id/4719/nm/The_Jesus_Storybook_Bible_Every_Story_Whispers_His_Name_Hardcover_ for Christmas & LOVES it! He carries it all over the house "reading" it.

After reading the Original CM Series, I would buy For the Children's Sake & the Levison books. I would not buy the Andreola book. That was the book that led me to believe that I would never ever ever do a Charlotte Mason style education--it just seemed like such a lighweight view of education.

Thank you all very much! I feel better now about purchasing it for dd. She'll be in 3rd grade next year so I'm assuming I'll be able to use it over the next 2 years for her.

I had decided to get Primary Challenge as our "extra" math for next year. Then I kept on reading & noticed that the reviews were from people who have gifted children. My children are not gifted. Is this book going to work for them or will it be way over their heads?
Thanks!

We're enjoying everything we're using right now: RightStart math, All About Spelling, & Ambleside Online

Thank you Moira! I am definitely going to continue to use CWP--she thinks it's fun & I like the way SM does word problems. I"ll check out Math Blaster too.

Thank you Ferdie! I am SO glad to hear that your ds was able to jump directly to BJU as I am considering using that program when we hit 5th grade.

This year (2nd grade) I began using Singapore's CWP (1st grade book) & CLE's 2nd grade math program to supplement RightStart for dd. It's worked fine, but I'm not entirely sure that she needs to be doing the CLE. Initially I used it b/c I thought there wasn't enough review in RS. Well, this year there's more review; plus, I bought MathShark so she can use that for drill.
So, in trying to make a decision for next year I'm mulling over several choices. We will definitely get the CWP book--I don't think there are enough word problems in RS & I like the way SM structures their problems. I'm considering getting Primary Challenge Math (but am wondering if that would be teacher intensive) & using that & the MathShark as her additional "program." I've also thought about getting SM's cd-roms or using CLE again since she could do those alone while I work with her brother on other things. I've considered getting the 2nd &/or 3rd grade SM Primary books, but I'm not sure that that would be useful since SM & RS seem pretty similar in focus other than the word problems.
Ugh. Any insight/suggestions?

Thanks for the replies! I will order 3rd grade :-)

I am planning on using BJU Science for my kids this coming fall, but am wondering if I should start with the 2nd or 3rd grade program?
I don't know if the 3rd grade program would be too hard for the 1st grader or if the 2nd grade program would be too light for the 3rd grader. My hope is that 2nd grade would work well for both of them, but if not, we can use 3rd grade & the 1st grader can catch what he can.
Thank you.
Deconstructing Penguins?
in K-8 Curriculum Board

I'm trying to decide if I should buy Deconstructing Penguins. I'd really really prefer to get it from the library, but, unfortunately, they don't have it. I do have Teaching the Classics, Well-Educated Mind & How to Read a Book so I'm wondering if Deconstructing Penguins will bring anything new to the table or if I should just spend a bit more time with the resources I already have.
TIA!
