  1. I haven't read all of the responses, so I apologize if I am being redundant. My husband was a mail carrier for years. He is excellent with animals and people and he refused to carry the dog-spray because using the spray always did more harm than anything else. Anyhow, he was bit in a similar situation as what you describe. It was an older single lady and she had a small dog. My husband was never a permanent carrier for any specific route, so in this instance, like your own, this dog was completely unfamiliar with this mailman. Anyway, she opened the door, and the dog ran out and bit him on the leg. It was a very small puncture wound, but since it broke the skin, he had to report it. Their regulations are to quarantine the dog, always. My husband felt terrible because this was this lady's family basically, and he knew that the dog had been vaccinated, but they still quarantine. The postal investigation people are going to be "low-key" because this happens all.the.time. They deal with dogs (and people's strange eccentricities) in a way that unless you experience it for yourself, it is pretty hard to imagine. I hope that you can find the help you need in training your pup...I really believe that there is a solution. ((hugs)) Hope this all works out for you.
  2. I think it's a great plan! I own the books you mentioned, and now I have some ideas! Thanks!
  3. Isn't kitchen table math similar? Maybe that would work better for you.
  4. We haven't used their grade level curriculum, but for the beginning of this school year, we did use The Hobbit unit study. I absolutely loved it and so did the kids. Hope that helps some :)
  5. Didn't a fellow wtm'er make lesson plans for all the magic schoolbus books? I cannot find her blog anywhere! Help, please?
  6. Wow..we have the same in-laws. Btdt, it got really ugly too when I couldn't take anymore. Hope you can find an amiable solution.
  7. What about the red shift website, where someone has listed 800 historical fiction titles? Its organized by period and free. Hopefully someone will link it, I'm on my phone and clueless about such things.
  8. I am using AO, but not the geography. For my year 2 and 3, we are using sotw for mapwork. ( for those two grades those particular students love sotw, and we are using the program alongside AO history.) For my year five student, we are following (loosely) scm`s geography/mapwork recommendation. I dont really see the need to use a separate living books program for geography when you are using living books for history. Personally, I like working on mastering/memorizing the region that we are studying in history. Some of my feelings may come from the fact that neither I or the boys cared for the holling books..we borrowed them from the library, and they smelled terrible, and we didnt like the content enough to purchase. So, I think you could do a sufficiently CM geography incorporating black line maps into your living books history program. Hth
  9. Hot pink..dh picked the color and painted lol! :-)
  10. i've been on this board for two years..and you can see my post count..i've seen people come on this forum, and rack up in a day what has taken me two years..some people just don't have as much to say maybe that hasn't already been said. i get more out of this board by reading it..anyway, peso i hope you are successful in selling your item.
