I have been using it with my 4th grader and have noticed a VAST improvement in her writing. I am not sure if it is the program, her age, or it is simply a good "fit" for her. We are going to finish it up and use WS4 next year.

Wow....you are so kind for sharing all of your hard work. This is EXACTLY what I was going to do for next year (minus the little kids), so you just saved me a lot of time this summer. Now, I just need to add in Map Trek for mapwork and I will be set. Many thanks!

"In order for an act to be a crime, there must be a victim; anything that is peaceful, voluntary, and honest should be tolerated, regardless of whether you agree with it. Part of the cost of freedom is allowing others to be free."
:iagree:

I have two 40-something SAHM friends that completed it. Give it a try!!!

Hello,
I am looking for a natural deodorant that actually WORKS all day and costs less than $8. Right now, we are using Arm and Hammer Natural Effects which has no parabens or aluminum, but it does have triclosan. I am not thrilled with this option either, but at least it works.
Any suggestions for me? Also, links would be much appreciated.
TIA!

He is risen indeed!

I have seen it mentioned briefly a few times on this board.
Anyone use it?
Pros? Cons?
Here is the link.
TIA!!

I am a part-time fitness instructor at a ski mountain fitness center. I can work my schedule around homeschooling and my kids can come with me and do work, if needed. I don't make a lot of money, but I love the job for the benefits (our "fun" stuff). My entire family skis for free, I get my guaranteed workout and free family gym membership, and I get a great discount for my girls to be on the ski racing team.

Which is your favorite and why (besides location)?
TIA!!

I always do it in my George Foreman grill.
This is what I do. You can often find them at thrift shops for a few dollars, if money is an issue,

Off to check it out. Thank you!

Thanks everyone! They came out great and he won most outstanding cupcake! I used the entire thing of red gel and it darked up to the perfect ketchup.
Since it seems I still can't upload photos on the board anymore, here's the pintrest link

They came out great. We used carrot cake for the 'buns', brownies for the 'burger' and then ketchup, mustard and lettuce frosting. The beauty of it was that you don't have to be accurate with the frosting piping as you want it to look like you've just squirted on ketchup. And after watching my 10you with the piping bag, I realized this was a very good thing! LOL! We even put toothpicks in them.
They look great!

Awesome!

My DC like vocabulary.com because they love earning badges and 10-in-a-row. We have only been using it for about two months, but some new vocabulary is turning up in other writing.

Yes, you are correct... no renewal for minors under 16. We just got the DC passports back in three weeks. But, I agree with the PP who said to submit the application 3 months ahead, just in case.

This is our timeline that I posted about A few months ago. Post #18.
Hope this helps!

DH and I went to Austria for our honeymoon, so I am making a Sachertorte. Hope it turns out!

there are two self-teaching books about Scratch i have used. My 9 yo is currently using Super Scratch Adventure - its a graphic novel which teaches Scratch Programming. My 9 yo did the first project completely on his own (we had done a little scratch together a year and a half ago). The other book is the Scratch Programming for Teens, which my 16 yo used this past summer. it was really easy for him, i think a 10 yo would not really have any trouble with it if he is a strong reader and somewhat motivated, but the Super Scratch book is more fun, of course. Scratch is free and aimed at kids, so its an easy place to start.My 4th grader is using Scratch right now. She's actually reading Loren Ipsum right now to build some basic knowledge (she's a reading kind of girl), and then we'll be doing the lessons on learnscratch.org There's a variety of good stuff out there, but some stuff is more developmentally appropriate for older kids (depending on the child, of course). I've started pinning things that come across my radar here; maybe you'll find something useful. :)I highly recommend Game Maker's Apprentice which we did when ds11 was 10. This is copied from another thread in which I answered the same basic question: I'm teaching my son to program in Java currently. There are many great resources available from free to reasonably priced. Computer Science like many of the sciences is best learned by interacting with it, hence the lab portion (programming). Python and Java are really popular programming languages to start with, though Java is more powerful. In the beginning simply learning logic flow and patterns are a great place to start. Seeing how the pieces fit together is very helpful. That is why programs like Scratch and Game Maker are taking off as educational tools. Game Maker's Apprentice is the first book I started my son with when he was 10. He finished the book and built all the games using the Game Maker tool. Next we did this very practical tutorial series which I recommend your son trying. Its entitled Java for the Absolute Beginner:After that we went on to this fantastic free educational tool called Greenfoot. This is a powerful tool for both teaching programming fundamentals and making some cool games. It's used by quite a few college and university CS departments in teaching programming. Java is used: http://www.greenfoot.org/overview http://blogs.kent.ac.uk/mik/category/joy-of-code/page/2/ There are too many beginning programming courses and additional tutorials available to list. But here are a few more: http://www.artofprob...rse_id=cs:intro http://www.khanacade...omputer-science http://see.stanford....aa-866adcae1111
Thanks for the great ideas! Just ordered some of these books from the library.
Can you recommend a French program?

We just started SYRWTL French and my DC are enjoying it. We supplement it with Mango Languages (you can get through some libraries for free) because the girls like it.
