Remind me about 3 yo, please.
SuperDad replied to momofkhm's topic in General Education Discussion Board
ITA w/ all of the previously mentioned ideas. When the kids start getting tired, I would get them all comfy on a couch and then have some kind of passive activity going on... a movie or book on tape, something like that. Then hopefully they can drift off into dreamland. -
What competitions are out there for the elementary grades?
SuperDad replied to Iskra's topic in Accelerated Learner Board
My kids currently participate in Odyssey of the Mind. AFAIK, Destination Imagination is a similar but separate program. Was National History Day already mentioned? -

:iagree: Is it possible to have him be doing schoolwork while he eats? It sounds like his meals are sucking up most of your time, but when he's eating he's a captive audience for read-alouds, oral work, lectures, explanations, independent reading, etc. I would also crack down on reading in the bathroom. My kids read in the bathroom, too, so I feel for you. But this really is where a ton of time is lost. And is there any independent work that he can be doing in the morning before you get up? Maybe assign him independent work and tell him that it needs to be done by the time you are out of the shower.

Secular Science Curriculum-are they out there?
SuperDad replied to brookspr's topic in K-8 Curriculum Board
Building Foundations of Scientific Understanding (sorry, can't link on this device) will not take you through high school, but it is really worth checking out. It has the hands on that you are looking for and IMO is one of the *best* programs out there for developing scientific thinking skills. It is not a hold-your-hand type of program but can be a great guide as long as you are somewhat confident in your science teaching abilities and are willing to put in little extra planning effort.- 12 replies
