We use CWP and do 1-2 pgs 2x/wk

I loved it LA2 for my son last school year. I find CLE much more enjoyable then Abeka.:) It is an excellent curriculum.

You Avatar pic. is really funny:)
We do 4 days a week, I attached my schedule. We school full days on those 4 days.
That avatar always makes me smile.;) Thanks for sharing your schedule.
-
Thanks for all your responses. This has given me much food for thought in terms of how to make this work best for my family.:)
-
I liked having mine 3 years apart. I felt I got enough time with my older son when he was little and very needy. By 3 he was getting more independent and I enjoyed having time with a baby again.
All of ours are three years apart. That's perfect for us.:)
-
It seems as though it will work based on what you guys have shared, especially since we continue an abbreviated math schedule in the summer.:)
-
We do school year round. So we get in 180 plus days. We don't follow the school system's schedule but we take a few weeks off for summer and in December.:001_smile:
So you do a "normal" workload for 4 days and take the 5th day off?
-
I'm thinking this is what I want to do this year but I'm just wondering about falling behind(especially with math). What were the pros and cons for your family in going to a 4 day school week? Did you just do more work during the other 4 days to make up for missing a day?:)

Staples has a Teacher's Rewards program - and they give you $3 cash back in rewards for every ink cartridge you recycle.
The Teacher's Reward program is great because when they limit school items to the general public, your limit is 25. Case in point, through today they had 8 pk pencils for 1 cent and the limit was 2 packs for the gen'l public, with my rewards card, I was able to buy 25 packs.

thanks for the suggestions

We supplemented Abeka with Singapore Challenging Word Problems this year(3x/wk). I believe that made the difference in my dd's math concepts score rising 25 percentage points on her yearly evaluation.
-
problems? I really like the challenging word problems Singapore provides. Any suggestions after we finish book #6(word problem books only)?:)

Thanks for the responses it's good to know I'm not alone.
If I sit beside her and keep her on the right track, she can do the work with minimal help; yet if I'm not there, some days she literally can't remember how to do things that she has done many times before.
If this doesn't sound like my son, I don't know what does.
Lizzybee, I'm pming you.:)

DS is in 3rd grade and WILL NOT follow directions and carefully recheck his school work. Here's an example of what I deal with everyday. Okay honey, this is what the directions say, now tell me what are you supposed to be doing, He then tells me what he thinks the directions are requiring. Great job, honey, okay get started.
Math example: $20.00-$19.03= $100.00
He knows that he has to go through each column and work it and then go back and make sure that his answer makes sense but he won't. When I check the work and bring it to his attention, he then does it correctly, most of the time. He also does it correctly when I work with him before he starts his independent work.
Language: Divide these words into syllables. He has the syllabication rules in the front of his book and STILL makes up his own rules for dividing the words because of laziness. I asked him, "why didn't you look at the rules while you were doing your work?". His response, "I didn't want to."
I am beyond frustrated with him. I have a DD ahead of him and one behind them and don't have these issues with them. Is this unique to boys?
I've tried taking away computer/Wii privileges, requiring extra work and still the same result.
What can I do about this?

Looks like I'm almost there too!;)

I love couponing. I have at least an extra $4000 in my bank account this year from couponing(would be more but I buy tons of fresh fruit and veggies:)). Swapping coupons is not illegal. Manufacturers send out coupons all the time and specify to give the extras to friends. Also, stores set out coupons for customers to pick up because those manufacturers are trying to sale their products.

What is the discount? The prices look the same in the homeschool section.

The 19th is our last day. We'll have off the entire week of Christmas and then I'm thinking we'll do 2 days of math the following week. I'm really looking forward to the break!;)

These responses make me feel so much better. :) I've been feeling like I should be a part of a group. I never felt that way before, it's only been since we moved to a new area that those feelings have come up. I too, would prefer to just spend time with other homeschooling moms and their families.
-
Do you think you need to be a part of a local group to be successful? Because of scheduling conflicts I can't really attend meetings with a local group at this time, though I am open to it for the future. Anyone find, they don't really need it?
Anyone in Broward county(Florida) have a great group they're a part of?

Yes, it's meager. And, no matter how you say it... the quote is beyond rational. Hell is no laughing matter. No matter who jokes about it or how they word it or why they do so.
I completely agree. I don't see how anyone who believes in the reality of hell could joke about it.:confused:
How do I sign up for the free Discovery Educ trial through the coop?

The link at the coop takes me to a page which asks for a passcode.:confused:
