    Home Educator!
  1. This home educating year was full of stress, a wonderful school year, but it was to the detriment of my health. I have a developmentally delayed daughter that takes a lot of my time and the home educating of the other children. So, my "theme" for the family this summer is going to be a focus on Healthy Living, mentally, spiritually, and physically. I'm looking for book suggestions to help with this process, any ideas? I bought "Whole Life Nutrition" which is a wonderful whole foods guide and recipe book that i'm going to start using. So I have the nutrition end covered. Thank you!
  2. I'm looking for suggestions for state study?
  3. I need some advice on a good spanish program for elementary students. So far Learnables and Song School Spanish are high on my list. I toying with the idea of Rosetta Stone, I could maybe do the lessons all together so we can converse throughout the day. Opinions?
  4. oh wow! I was wondering about Math Mammoth....so would you consider that a full on curriculum???
  5. Wow, Visualize World Geography is EXACTLY what I was looking for and more! Thank you moonlight :)
  6. Okay, so i just love, love Singapore but i have 4 different children using it and it's getting really time consuming....what programs are similar to Singapore and more independent for student use???!!! thank you for your time!
  7. Is there a simple program out there for the mastery of geography? The closest I've found is the CC approach with the fold out folders they can check off and find each item, but it doesn't seem like they have made one for the US yet and that is what I'm studying next year :( Although I don't think it would have they memorize the tracing) Thank you!
  8. thank you so much for replying...he will love science dvd's. I'm going to get some of these supplies ready in a bin for him and readily available!
  9. I have a 6 yr old boy who has an extremely active mind. I'm looking for books, supply ideas that would be good to foster this active mind, imagination and help foster inventiveness. Thank you
  10. Anyone have a good experience with this curriculum? I'm leaning towards it this year. Something neat and packaged. I do love Sonlight but I'm looking for something a bit more Classical. Another thing, I don't see any scheduled readers. Is that something that I would need to add to it? Thanks you!
  11. okay, i'm thinking ahead to next year. I'm using the full Memoria Press 2nd grade program with my 2 oldest and am really enjoying it being all layed out for me pretty much. Next year there will be the Intro to Composition course and i'm torn between it and IEW's Student Writing intensive. I know that IEW has the teachers training. I have a few ideas to go on. I could go through the IEW course myself and use the Intro to Comp with my kids using the knowledge i've gained or use both with the kids. I'm afraid this would be to much though, although I think that IEW is only once a week? Am I wrong on this? Or i could use only IEW. Could anyone with experience give me a quick compare and contrast or memopia presses comp courses and IEW's writing classes? It would help ease my mind on this decision. Thankyou
  12. I am wondering where to get cheap art prints that are good quality? I am starting the Memoria Press program and I would love to have the art in prints...Thanks!
  13. oh thank you! Have a wonderful new year.
  14. I now have enough posts to start selling on the sell and swap forum board but it says i'm not able to start a new topic. Does anyone know why this is? Thank you!
