[Who's seeing the Hunger Games this weekend?]

DH and I are having a lunch/movie date tomorrow. I'm too old for the midnight premier and all of the teeny boppers, lol

[My Classroom is done!!!!]

Thats an awesome room! Where's the furniture from?

[LC/HF - Anyone eating this way?]

Does that stand for low carb/high fat? Paleo is similar. Marksdailyapple dot com

[FIAR Users]

Thanks guys, now I'm on a book hunt. Wish me luck! Lol

[FIAR Users]

Is there any area that you would supplement with FIAR?

I'm using:

FIAR, HWT, explode the code, math u see alpha, tons of readers, sight words, possibly life PAC history&geo grade 1 (but I'm thinking we will end up hating it.)

[Where do you buy?]

Your Math U See student workbooks?

[AAS lovers- What all do I need?]

Is this it? I don't see any manipulitives.

[AAS lovers- What all do I need?]

What all do we need for All About Spelling? What did you buy and need? Not need? Does AAS have lists with the same type of words?

[What else do we need?]

I just pulled him from public school. He can look at something and write it, but he can't spell the words and write them. Does that make sense? It didn't make sense to me when I read my earlier post.

[What else do we need?]

How is his reading? How is his printing? I'd save WWE and FLL until reading is firmly established and he can comfortably copy a short sentence.

 

He can read books on his level and he can copy anything. He just can't write words on his own.

[What else do we need?]

I'm trying to decide if I need to add WWE and FLL to my curriculum. Wdyt?

I'm using:

Handwriting without Tears printing

Explode the code books 1-2

Lifepac history grade 1

Math u see Alpha

FIAR

All about spelling 1

[If you had a 5yo and a 3yo]

What are my options for spelling?

Would WWE and hwot cursive be over kill?

I bought lifepac history grade 1. Is that one ok?

I also got FLL 1/2.

I'm trying to find something for math. I hated math and want something fun. Is there a way to make math fun? Lol

What else would I need?

[If you had a 5yo and a 3yo]

So, for the FIAR, I would only need the volume 1 book and the 19 books that supplement the lessons? The books alone are $146 and that doesn't include 2 that are oos.

Is their a less exspensive way?

[If you had a 5yo and a 3yo]

And were starting your homeschool experience all over, what would you do?

I would like something that's all together for Luke. I'm afraid that i will leave something out. He is coming out of public school kindergarten. He can read, write, add, and subtract. Should I go a to 1st grade curriculum?

 

Malorie is almost 4 and she knows her alphabet and how to count. She can't recognize numbers, but can recognize letters. I have some "getting ready for kindergarten" Kumon workbooks that she's been attempting to do. She can do them if i guide her through it, but gets off task if I'm not right there.

 

Today was our first day and I feel very overwhelmed. I need some type of structure.

[Lesson Plans]

Thanks Ladies. I'm printing like crazy trying to get something together to do until my curriculum comes in.

[Lesson Plans]

Anyone have a Weekly Lesson Plan that they'd like to share?

Something that I could print out?
