I hear you on this one!!! I tried this very same thing with hopes of using an all in one. But after so much of crossing this out and skipping this part and supplementing, it ended up not really being and all in one anymore so I gave up on the thought and am now okay with piecing things together.

CLE100...OVERKILL! We dropped it after about a month or so.

Rod and Staff!!

My DS7 is reading that very book right now and yes they are talking about the dolls and he doesn't have a problem with it.

Lots of Heart of Dakota gift certificates :lol:

:iagree:

I'm just now having to admit that I'm a box checker as well. I really did not want to be and tried to fight it for the first 2 years of homeschooling...lol! I am totally embracing it going into this 3rd year. We are using Heart of Dakota and loving every minute of it and checking off every box as we go. Oh well!!

These are the same times in our home. Since the time change and the neighborhood kids spending more time outside since school is almost over for the year makes my littles upset but so far we have not changed the times. We've been doing this for years.

Mama read a book called Homeschooling with a Meek & Quiet Spirit http://www.titus2.com/ecommerce/products/prod_listing.php/1120 and things are looking a lot better around here because of it.

My children ages 6 & 8 hated all things school until we switched to Heart of Dakota and we've all been loving it an happier ever since. It was a good switch as I was getting really burnt out trying to come up with ideas to make our days fun. I remember coming here posting a question...."DOes homeschooling HAVE to be fun?". Now I just open the manuals and go. School gets done joyfully and with good attitudes....no planning and less stress for mom.

we LOVE Rod & Staff math here!!

You don't need it but it's nice to have to read along with your dc. You will need it for grade 3 and on.
