  1. Have you looked at Handwriting without Tears curriculum? It was developed by an OT, and it is wonderful.
  2. I would agree with the recommendation to get an OT evaluation or at least consult. This can often be covered by insurance.

  4. Thanks to all who took the time to respond! I will check into the suggestions. Again, thanks so much!
  5. We have been very happy with Saxon Math, but feel that we need a course in geometry which Saxon doesn't have. Does anyone have a recommendation as to what program would be best? I would appreciate any suggestions! Thanks.
  6. Thank you, Christine! Hope your school year gets off to a good start!
  7. Does anyone know of a curriculum that teaches just US history, and uses a format similar to Story of the World? I am looking for a curriculum for k - 4. Thanks!
  8. I would like the earth science set. Please email me. Thanks! des_sms@yahoo.com
  9. I like the idea of the science notebook. It would be a good tool to see what they got out the activity, too.
  10. Is K-9 Protection something you download from a website, or do you need to pick up a cd?
  11. Thought we might could help - but don't recognize it. It is really pretty though!
  12. Any recommendations on programs other than Safe Eyes that we could check out -- just so we can know what options are out there?
  13. We tried a history lapbook this year - -and the kids weren't as into it as I thought they would be. It was also hard to keep all those little pieces together. I think your idea might be best -- to let the kids have a vested interest into how the lapbook is created. I guess my experience with lapbooks this year has caused me to wonder....I know parents and reviewers love lapbooks, but are they really of great value to the kids' learning? So many times I see information glued into lapbooks for a great "presentation" but is it really meaningful to the kids?
  14. HP Office jet 5610 - had a long time - no issues, reasonable with ink. Also has flatbed scanner with is nice for copying things.
  15. We did the same - one lesson a day, skipping day 5 writing. Something I found helpful for my daughter was using notecards for the vocabulary words. We use two cards for each lesson (one for each pair Syn/Ant). On the front we put both words. On the back, we write each word and defiiniton, and whether they are synonyms or antonyms. This helps her review prior to the test as she can read the words, guess if they are syn/ant, and then self check by flipping the card.
