We just read Investigating the Scientific Method with Max Axiom. http://www.amazon.com/Investigating-Scientific-Scientist-Graphic-Science/dp/1429617608/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1326324193&sr=8-1 It was comic book style and DS9 enjoyed it.

These look great! I found some sample pages on Rainbow's website.

I would guess I am the only one here who has been in Chris Farley's apartment. I was an intern at SNL during his first season, and also got to watch rehearsals of the awesome Chippendales sketch with Patrick Swazye.

Awesome, thanks!!

For the current edition, do I need both the TM and Student book, or could I get away with just the teacher's edition? We would always be reading it together if that makes any difference. TIA!

100% yes!!! That case would stop a bullet. We have one on our iPad as well as the boys' ipod touches. I do have a Trident case on my Android phone and I really like it as well.

Well, the clogs are not the cutest things out there, but they are comfy, supportive and last forever. I do have a few pair of sandals (including a pair in cherry red patent) that I regularly get compliments on. I can wear them all day with no foot/leg/back pain. I have plantar fasciatis, a high instep and flat-ish feet. Sexy, huh? I have just recently discovered Ariat clogs (Ashland, Bella and Sheila) and they are also fantastic. I generally don't go for knock-offs, but today I am wearing a pair of grey suede Dansko-ish clogs from Lands End that are just as comfortable if not more than my Danskos.

Vuitton! That is all :)

I made her pasta with tomato cream sauce for dinner tonight (I threw in broccoli for some veggie action). It was delicious. The recipe called for heavy cream, I used half and half and actually only half the amount she called for. So you can modify slightly.

We just finished a 200 piece Inventors puzzle from Crocodile Creek that I picked up with one of the recent Barnes & Noble coupons. Not exactly ancients, but interesting and fun nonetheless!

My 3rd grader does, but that is mainly because he is interested in those things. Stack the States and Presidents vs. Aliens on the iPad helped a bit :)

I have boys, but I think Lands End has age-appropriate, well-made girl clothing.

Would that work for an Intelligo Unit study?? (I just purchased 2 at the Currclick sale).

I loved Tara Road, Scarlett Feather and Evening Class.

I am taking my 7 and 9 year old boys to see the Muppets today.

I got a refurbished one (16g iPad 1) over the summer. I had a problem with it and took it into my local store and they swapped it out for the same model without a problem. I would totally recommend buying refurbished directly from Apple!

We say Attention Deficit "Ooohhh Shiny" :001_smile:

I just made my younger DS a little parfait from plain vanilla yogurt and a crushed up Nestles Crunch Bar. For a brief moment, I was the "best mom ever". :001_smile:

Thumbs up from my 9 year old as well. He really likes this book.

Yup. My older DS has an IQ of 141, but cannot tie his shoes or follow multi-step directions. At all. And has been known to wear his clothes backward because he is not paying attention while he is getting dressed.

Thanks everyone! I signed up for the email list and will wait for the sale. I had not looked at the HELP series before but I think the HELP for Language is just what I am looking for, as well as one or 2 of the listening/reading comprehension books. Thanks again!

Hello wise ladies! I was looking at the Linguisystems site and was wondering if anyone has any feedback on the 100% Listening book, or the Spotlight series. I am looking for some resources for my 9yo 2E DS (Aspie, slightly ADHD, gifted, but seriously lacking in the common sense department). Thanks in advance! Michelle

LOL, that reminds me of Mad Libs with my 2 boys.

I'll play! I have been lurking for a few months and just jumped in randomly last week. I have 2 boys, 7 (an angelic looking, motor-mouthed boy's boy full of energy) and 9 (a quirky, gifted, anxiety-ridden Aspie) who go to a fabulous little K-6 private school where I also work as an administrator. I afterschool and summer-school for now. We are planning on homeschooling full time for middle school for older DS. Not sure about younger. But in the meantime, I have learned so much from WTM and have even brought some of the resources and info to use at school. We are supplementing the Real Math they use in school with Math Mammoth for DS9. We created an elective program for our last period and I purchased a bunch of Intelligo Unit Studies for teachers to use. They LOVE them! I cannot wait to use MCT, maybe next summer. So, thanks for letting me lurk, I will try to jump in more often but I read faster than I type :D

Sorry to hijack this thread with my own story, but thanks for this info! I called his dr today (a developmental ped), and we are going to try Lexapro next. I think he metabolizes meds fast as he has virtually no body fat, so we see the side effects faster than other kids might. I would love to try a GFCF diet, but he only eats about 5 foods and none of them are GFCG. That is a battle I am not ready to take on at this time . :glare: If we still have the negative side effects, I will ask about Intuniv.
