  1. My quick fix: lavendar essential oil and chamomile tea.
  2. I love the hive. :) BTW, we will be using First Form Latin 1.
  3. Yes, this is part of why I need to cut back on something. This will be our main focus also, as well as latin and science. I love this idea, thank you!
  4. Thanks. I just needed some validation from the hive that I wasn't nuts for doing this!
  5. Exactly. :) Thanks, Elizabeth. I value your opinion, as I've read many of your posts over the past few years. I already have AG and I like what I see. If dd struggles with it, I can always fall back on R&S. Goodness, kids that finish 7th grade R&S have a better grasp on grammar than many college students.
  6. I'm thinking about doing this with dd next year in order to finally tackle Latin. We have attempted Latin on & off for the past 3 years. Dd has been working through R&S and CLE English through grade 5. She has a solid grasp of grammar thus far. Diagramming is a breeze for her. We have a lot on our plate this coming year and I really want to see her succeed in completing an entire year of Latin study. I'm thinking about dropping English/Grammar this year, and then picking it up again in 7th grade with AG. I need some advice - any thoughts??
  7. First of all... :grouphug: and more :grouphug:. Our dd's are the same age, and I know that I would share it with my dd. She would know something was up and would have more anxiety over not knowing the truth. HTH
  8. It's good through 5/29 on orders of $35 or more: 380315. :)
  9. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/05/22/christopher-columbus-jewish_n_1534928.html?icid=maing-grid7%7Cmain5%7Cdl4%7Csec1_lnk3%26pLid%3D163023 Just thought I'd share. :)
  10. Here's a few I've downloaded, but have yet to really work with. They look good though! Science 360 Planets National Geographic Explorer Color Uncovered - my dd loves this one
  11. Has anyone purchased Knowledge Quest's Wonders of Old Timeline Series apps? Can you give a review? Are they worth it? TIA!
  12. I have dd read about 1 hr: 1/2 hr. of lit, and 1/2 hr. of history or science (alternating). She also does a lot of free reading every evening. Sometimes she chooses a biography, etc. if she's really enjoying an area we're studying.
  13. Not Trish, but I'm wondering if she means this one: http://www.christianbook.com/great-covenant-testament-bible-course-children/claire-larsen/9781600510717/pd/61071X?event=WL&item_code=WW
  14. For my dd it was the Ramona series and then the Little House series. The Little House books also sparked a love for history.
  15. I added this to my wishlist at Christianbook last week while searching for curriculum. It looks really good! I didn't see the timeline set there though. I appreciate your link. Jesse, I appreciate your review also.
  16. :grouphug: I will pray for peace for you.... :grouphug:
  17. I waffled....and then got a good look at WWS also. I had bought and sold 2 levels WWE 3 years ago. I decided to start ds in WWE this year after I saw WWS. And now, I'm going backwards with dd to catch her up in WW4 to get her ready for WWS. Poor thing...she said, "I'm switching writing again?!" So sorry, baby girl! :lol:
  18. :iagree: OP, I think doing R&S orally would work well for you. We used R&S for 3 yrs. before switching dd to CLE LA, per her request. She just loves the workbook format of the light units. :) R&S was working well, both orally and written.
  19. I just wanted to say thank you for your post. I ordered two of these with the free shipping that day. They arrived today and I love them. They are sturdy and I actually like that the bins have lids. It will keep dust, etc. out and it makes them portable to load up in the car and take with you. I think they will work great for my kids! :)
  20. I also wanted to let you know about this convention in May: http://www.californiahomeschoolconvention.com/ SWB will be there! We're thinking of driving down for it.
  21. Teaching Textbooks Math-U-See Phonics Pathways CLE LA
  22. Hi there! Welcome to the forum! I'm not using TOG, but here is a recent thread listing WTM members who are doing a great job with it. http://www.welltrainedmind.com/forums/showthread.php?t=353847&highlight=TOG+Roll+call Also, if you do a search of TOG on the K-8 board, you will find many threads that will take up hours of your time. :)
  23. Oh, Happy Day! Happy Day! He washed my sins away! He is risen, indeed! :party:
  24. I just ordered a planner from Rainbow Resource that dd is really happy with. It comes in different levels: elementary, middle & high school. She preferred the layout of the elementary over the middle school. Link is below. http://rainbowresource.com/product/sku/035534/20946de54cf06d8541f3126a
