    Do you remember what kind of binding you asked about? I was thinking of either three hole punching it and shoving it in a binder or spiral binding. And dumbest question ever would be how do they get the file? Would I put it on my jump drive? Did you get my last pm? :tongue_smilie:

    Did you have these printed or are you using them online? I can easily do the online way because my computer is on our homeschool table, but was wondering about the cost of printing. I'm still going through and reading PLL, but as a FLL user I like this a lot more. I think that FLL goes too slowly and is far too repetitive for Sophie's liking. She's very good at retaining the info and doesn't need the amount of review in FLL. PLL looks like it moves along at a faster pace. I think I'll figure out where we are in PLL and switch over today.

    I have an Atticus too.:D I think finding a special copy is important. I would buy the $40 copy if it is special to you. I have been on the hunt for a good copy myself. I think having the ultra rare first edition wouldn't be as nice because I would never let anyone touch it.

    The Horse in the Gray Flannel Suit. A really great Disney movie from back in the day of great Disney moves.

    Me too. I had intended to use WWE for first and second grade and move to Classical Writing for third but this changes everything.

    I called it 'We B Kids' when I worked for kids r us in high school. The name really bugged me, but I loved working there.

    We went from MUS alpha to singapore to rightstart b. RSb has been the perfect fit for my dd. I guess it really depends on why MUS isn't working out for your child, but mine was lost with MUS and singapore and now she truly understands and loves math.

    When my dd took skating lessons last year she wore jeans or fleece track pants with a long sleeved t and fleece jacket over. Gloves were necessary as she fell a lot the first few times and her hands were on the ice a lot.

    My mom tells me this as well.

    I see you received help for getting the font onto your system. There are many excellent, free handwriting fonts out there that can be found by googling handwriting font.
  11. sweetfeet
    Google "penmanship print". It's a downloadable free font that has handwriting lines. You use the ` to create seamless lines. I use this font with word to create our copywork pages for WWE, FLL, history and science.

    We are doing WWE 1 workbook. It's pick up and go for us. Along with WWE we use FLL and ETC 5.

    I absolutely have control issues. I would say it is a major part of my decision to homeschool. I have a few friends who would say the same about themselves.

    I'm looking ahead to second grade for this fall. I was going to pick up a copy of Our Island Story to go along with SOTW 2 and our Usborne IL Encyc. of World History.

    No, I didn't know about that group. Thank you! I knew I could easily leave off the bible study, but I was worried about the missionary stories and what else might be included. I'll see if I can locate that yahoo group.:D

    I keep looking at Sonlight, despite the fact that I very much need/want a secular program, simply because it's all laid out and very organized. I've tried and tried to make my own wannabe sonlight schedule using the curriculum I already have but it takes hours each week. I want check boxes and at-a-glance, week-at-a-time pages. I want a literature rich program. I feel like Veruca Salt right now. I just don't want to hole myself up in my 'office' for 2-3 hours on Sunday night figuring out a schedule and formatting it in word week after week.

    I had a pair of the 'mush' style teva flip flops last summer. They were cute, cushy, and not very expensive. I liked them a lot and will probably buy another pair this summer. However, they were a single season item as I unfortunately wore them out. They were my only shoes last spring, summer and the beginning part of fall so I wasn't surprised or upset about their relatively short life.

    I'm lucky to belong to a very secular group. No statements of faith and really we welcome everyone. I love the diversity of people in our group and I'm so happy to have such a group available. There is no way I would be able to join a group that requires a SOF, which the others in the area require, and I'm not sure how successful our home school journey would be without the support and friendships made in our group.

    I'm using it with History Odyssey. I really like the way they rearrange the order of the chapters. It makes SOTW flow quite nicely.

    I'm having my dd complete the ETC series as I feel like it's something that couldn't hurt, anyhow it's fast and she loves it. We'll pick up spelling in the second grade in addition to wrapping up ETC. We are on book 5 now.

    We're using FLL for first and 1/2 of second grade. She'll have it finished by that time and we will then move on to PLL.

    No. I bought a 99 edition after reading the 04 edition. I actually prefer the 99 edition because it tells you how to set up subjects without relying heavily on curriculum. The 04 edition seemed like a parade of recommendations, which I appreciated, but I feel like knowing how and why they recommend a curriculum and how it should be set up is of more use to me.

    I've bought Bob's red mill ww pastry flour at Meijers and Kroger. Not sure if you have these stores, but they are regular grocery stores. The ww pastry flour comes in boxes about the size of the aseptic packs of broth. I found it in the baking aisle with the organic spices and baking items. ETA: duh I see you tried kroger. Our kroger does carry it. I wonder if you try looking in some different areas you'll find it. It wasn't near the regular flours.

    Most groups have their registration around Jan-Feb so you should be able to join for the year now and show at the fair in the summer. When I was doing horse projects you had to have the animal and project book selected by March 15th in order to do a project and show at the fair. -From a former 4-H'er and mom to a current Cloverbud.

    I have it checked out from the library. The book is absolutely gorgeous. It's big and heavy, which I love. It's just so full of photographs. There are real pictures as opposed to the (rather lame) drawings in the usborne internet-linked world history book. It is truly a feast for the eyes. I'm off to order my very own copy. I haven't been so excited about a book in a very long while.
