I'd think that it's just pop, pop is cheap, and I'd be happy to serve it in 2 liters, or generic as suggested. I might encourage my own kids to make other choices though, or tell then it's just for the grownups.
:iagree:
If you buy off brand, it's about 1.25 a 2 liter. Is the goal to have a party where even pop drinkers enjoy themselves, or to avoid cost?

TOG
Spell to Write and Read (at last! My son can spell!)
Apologia YE series
Shurley English (yes it is a lot of time w/ teacher, BUT, I wish we had done the writing portion from day 1)

:iagree:I don't let my kids listen to these, but use an ipod... :-DWelll..... here's the deal. It's really hard for me to find music I like to run to that's as clean as I'd like.Years ago, after my 3 year old started singing 'Feel like a woman" after hearing it only 2 times, I decided that waiting till they are old enough to analyze the lyrics of songs, I would listen to iffy things without them.
Sooo... take some of these with that disclaimer. :P Here are some of my favorites:AWOLNATION- Sail
Yup! I love most of that whole album while running. (or trying to run in my case) Burn it down & Sail are my favs.
A few others that keep my pace up:
Don't feel like Dancin' by Scissor Sisters
Let's get it started, Black Eyed Peas
My Body, Young the Giant
Stronger, Kelly Clarkson
We Found Love, Rhianna
First of the year, Skrillex (Love this music video, worth finishing it if you start watching it) Very Jael/Victorious church-like :D
Series of Dreams, Dylan
Le Manuscrit du Roi – La Tierche Estampie roial (ok for running, with no words at all. ) Hesperion XX1 & Jordi real
For perspective, I love many different musical genres. My normal playlists include everything from classical to rap.

"Busy work" depends on the child. My kids are be able to retain more of what they hand write out, so I would have them do copy work, lapbooks, crosswords, etc. Your kids might not retain more, and they might already have the concept down, so for them it might be busywork, but for mine, it is a tool that helps them.

IEW sells some "theme based writing' resources. You might try one of those along with the teacher's book. It isn't a full program but it will give you a good start in the methods of the program. My son used the US History based book this past year with good success. The lessons follow the same steps as the full course.
:iagree: These are great!

I'm not quite understanding your question. You can get DE as a digital download or pay a little bit more and get a CD copy, but it is still DE and not able to be resold.
There is a print only option in which you get a print copy and old fashioned Loom on a CD, but there would be no reason for you to get this since you already own the exact same thing.
The op is asking abut the supplements, (map aids, lapbook templates, pop quiz, evaluations) not the whole TOG year plan itself. :001_smile:

I have the paper copy of ToG 3 and was looking to buy the DE supplements for it when I realized I might be short-changing myself. Wouldn't it be smarter to buy the CD (not DE version) to go with my paper copy so that I can sell them later? There's no rule on reselling them, right? I have CD copies of past year plans and intended to sell them with the corresponding Year Plans when I'm ready. The rules haven't changed on this as long as you don't have the DE versions, correct?
Right... The stand alone supplements that you can buy from Lampstand press are indeed resell-able. If you are using the print version of TOG and you want to sell it later, you could buy the standalone supplements to go along with the year plan when you sell it.
When you checkout using the step by step guide, you will see this....
Would you like your supplements in matching integrated DE?*
What does this mean?
Yes, I want the integrated DE format (recommended for DE and DE/Print curriculum).
No, I want the resalable stand-alone format, even if it means paying for a full year.
*Choose "advanced options" on each page to modify this choice.

The boxes on the left side are links; click on one and a window will pop up. The home management one is not up yet.
OK, I must be missing the link. The one posted takes me to a page with no left column or left boxes at all?

Personally, I would just sit in the very front & bring all my inhalers & epi pen, and do the asthma treatments during the service if I needed to.

my old computer is dead & on it were several bookmarks that i just can't recall! specifically, i am looking for some audio stories that involved time periods and people in history. there were other type audio stories too, but i can't remember them. it
was a christian website. anyone know what i'm talking about???
Were they free files? Did you have a subscription?

I use dots on the spine,covered by a strip of clear book tape. :-)
I use a history curriculum that assigns books weekly, so my dots match up with that plan for all the history/literature stuff. (the books that go wth this also have smaller dots on each spine to indicate reading level, so they are visually different from the regular sorted by subject books.
I use different solid colors for all the other subjects, art is pink, science is neon green, music is yellow, Bible is dark green, etc.

Um...going to google now to see what a binder clip is. :blush: ETA: Yeah. My kids would totally remove those and have a heyday with the paper. Sigh.
Well.... maybe not? I didn't realize until this past year that the metal loop parts come out, and then wide clamp part stays alone for a more permenant solution. :blush: I use this for a few of my Teacher Manuals I have never lost a page from them, and they don't seem to tear either.
Another option is a heavy duty stapler. With the special staples, it holds up to 250 pages. I used this for my WWE teacher manuals, It worked great. (I was too impatient to wait for shipping a real copy, so I bought the pdfs) You can find these at thrift stores sometimes.
I also love the book rings, I have DD's horizons math in those, but the pages do tear out more easily than a different method. (Each hole seems to be under more stress, but maybe that's because I didn't do a heavy cover, but just punched pages. I use the rings more frequently for things I want to flip over like flashcards, spelling words, etc.
Our best solution for storing these non traditional books has been a magazine file box on the shelf right next to the regular books on the same subject.

whoopsie, double post... sorry

Dry erase crayons work great on those laminated checklists.
We laminate flash memory work, math manipulatives and chore lists.
Also, if you don't like the way dry erase rubs off easily, you can write with a sharpie, it stays on if bumped, but you can easily wipe it off with rubbing alcohol. (works on page protectors too)

Laminator = Organizing things and labeling for me.
I make labels, laminate them, and stick them on with poster putty. It sticks to most things forever, and removes cleanly 98% of the time. :-)
I labeled my school drawers, all my spices, magazine file boxes full of school papers, and chore charts. I tagged where things go on the inside of the kitchen cabinets, Mixing bowls, rice cooker etc. ( Yes, I know where they are, but the kids seems to put them away wrong most of the time)
I also make bookmarks that are laminated, and use workboxes to organize our school day about 50% of the time. Setting up workboxes was a lot of laminating. :-) I've laminated tags for my cloth diaper stash that included instructions on how to use the covers, prefolds & AIO styles. I made magnets to use with SWR, and they were all laminated. (over 100 magnets)
I plan to laminate a few of my recipes that are printed on thinner paper. I use a little clip to hold recipes on the wall while I cook, and I am tired of them getting splattered & ruined.

Laminator & pouches... if you think you might use it. :-)
CD player, or mp3 player (theability to send 1 child to a different area to listen to their memory work is a MUST for us. :-)
Pen holders like these http://www.walmart.com/ip/TOPS-Self-stick-Pen-Holders-3-pack/20896258 for the dry erase markers if your kids lose everything, like mine do. We do math on mini dry erase "slates."(Our pencils go in a cup, but the dry erase pens need to be stored horizonatlly, and if they live with the boards they stay around longer. )
I also like sunshine in a schoolroom.

I was wondering what were the most memorable field trip(s) of your childhood? (Or if you have any kids handy to survey, what do they pick as their favorites?) :001_smile:
Hands down, my favorite field trip was a tour of the still operating Trojan Nuclear Power Plant. We even got to wear radiation badges & see how decontamination worked. I think I was around 12-15 at the time.

Some of the yummier field trips were Alpenrose Dairy (ice cream at the end, and Franz Bakery ( free mini loaf to take home)

It is hard to deal with clothes shopping. You might look into alterations on RTW shirts. Maybe buy the size to fit the b00ks, and have the rest of the garment taken in.
You can also try Bravissimo online. They sell clothing by b00k size.

This is our favorite dinner roll recipe, they disappear very fast.

Sometimes youtube videos went too fast for me!
:iagree: I have discovered the pause button love... :-D

I am trying to do this more, just to keep grocery trips to a minimum... :-) We do artisan in 5 pretty frequently around here.
I am trying out a loaf of white today, a sandwich bread that is supposed to be soft & yummy.
We'll see how it turns out, I've never done a sponge method before.

Is this your first time crocheting? If not, can you do a chain stitch, a double crochet & join to make a loop?
What instructions did you try? Why didn't they work? I would hate to type a ton out & have it be no clearer than other places. :-)
Granny squares are done in the round, which mean going around & around the piece rather than back & forth like you might do on a washcloth, or scarf.
There is a great website all about knitting, crochet etc. that you might find helpful. Ravelry.com
Here is a basic illustration of crochet.

Crochet cabana has some good videos... and underneath the videos there are some smaller step by step photos.

yes, you are right... :-) whoopsie. :-)
I've had that many people over before, and I just buy about 5 big bottles, and also offer water / juice. We usually have some leftovers, whole bottles.
