We've used Saxon K, 1, 2, 3, 5/4, 6/5, 7/6, and Algebra 1/2. :)

I just felt the exact same way!!!!! Why would they announce this just before the prime time line up?!?!

I thought this article in today's WSJ was pretty good! Some of the comments, on the other hand, have me :glare: !

I just saw this online: Here's How To Watch The Opening Ceremony Live Online I took a peek at one of the links and it's on now!

On those criteria, the only one I wouldn't order would be Happy Family. Other good not weird things might be Sweet & Sour Chicken, General Tso's Chicken (spicy!), crab rangoon, & egg rolls.

Ds is studying Earth Science this year & I came across the following webpage. I didn't realize that geospatial jobs are predicted to be one of the three fasted growing sectors! What is Geospatial Science? The geospatial revolution videos look pretty neat & I thought others might think so, too. :)

We don't have cable and plan to watch the network coverage. I went to NBC's website and entered our zip code so that I could see when they are airing the events we want to watch. So excited for opening ceremonies tonight! :-)

Oh my word!!! {shudder}

LOL! Everyone has the right to build what they like, but they look so ... tacky! The Château of Azay-le-Rideau on the other hand .... well, one can always dream! :)

Congratulations to your ds and a big thank you from this family in WI for his decision to serve our country! :)

I've been here since the old boards, yet am not a huge poster. I don't take board breaks on purpose, but life often gets in the way of being here every day. It seems a lot of people changed their names and/or avatars and I'm so :confused: to who many people are!

Oh my word! I can't believe that he put his baby on the floor and left!!! :auto: And that she would marry him after that!!! Ugh , ugh, ugh! :glare: Love the idea for the college scholarship for Jarell. His parents raised a fine young man and they should be proud!

History/Literature/Theology: Omnibus I Primary & Secondary Grammar & Writing: Rod and Staff English 7 Latin: Wheelocks Latin, Cambridge I, Cambridge II, 38 Latin Stories. French: First Start French I, Rosetta Stone French (I'm not sure about this one yet. We've done just Rosetta Stone in the past, but stopped because he found the lack of grammar instruction frustrating. I thought starting over with First Start French as primary program and only using Rosetta Stone once a week might help. But, as he has a heavy load already I'm debating whether or not to just drop French until high school.) Math: Foerster Algebra I Science: BJU Earth Science Logic: Memoria Press Traditional Logic I & II

Found this on the home page: Click here for seminar details It gives a nice description of each lecture. It also said on the home page that the Pre-Conference was with SWB!

Thank you for posting this! I can't wait to listen! :)

I searched and didn't see this posted anywhere, and want to share that there is a new Pearson Homeschool site! I had the hardest time negotiating their regular site (plus registering with Oasis!!) last month when I ordered Foerster's Algebra student text & teacher's manual. I filled out a lengthy questionnaire & explained how un-user friendly it was for homeschoolers (along with a ton of other homeschoolers, I'm sure!) Anyway, got an e-mail in my inbox this afternoon that they launched Pearson Homeschool. Yay! Unfortunately, it doesn't look like you can order Foerster's Algebra from it. :lol: But, you can order a bunch of other products that I know are popular in the homeschool community. :) Yay! I'm giving them credit for reaching out!

Maybe a book by Joel Salatin or The Omnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollan to delve into the food production aspect? P.S. Just looked up Almost Amish and it looks great! I requested it from the library. :)

:crying: :grouphug: I am so sorry for your loss. Emmanuel's story is very powerful. :grouphug:

I'm sorry. :grouphug:

Congratulations! :hurray:

Wow, there are some talented ladies on this board! I've really enjoyed looking at some of these items. I'm not crafty at all! We own a remodeling company. The past three years have been really difficult because of the economy. Not much anyone here could do to help. :( Dh has flirted several times in the past with the idea of making furniture. I think I'll show him the Etsy site! Maybe it will spark his imagination.

:hurray: Loved this whole post, but edited it down to just this part. :)

We discovered Sonlight Science when my oldest ds was in fourth grade and second ds was in second grade. We had tried a new science program almost every year up until that point, and it is the first science program that we actually completed! We absolutely love the book selections ... I often find them all over the house! Oldest has aged out of it, but second ds completed Sonlight 4 this year and third ds completed Sonlight 1 this year. They'll both use Sonlight again in the fall. :) ETA: Just remembered that they have alphabetical names now, and not the # anymore. That would be Sonlight B and E that the boys completed this year. :)

I found both Children of the Storm: The Autobiography of Natasha Vins and Evidence Not Seen: A Woman's Miraculous Faith in the Jungles of World War II by Darlene Deibler Rose to be very inspirational. :)

:iagree: My neighbor is a public school teacher. I find it has only come up in conversation twice in all the time we've been neighbors. A couple of years ago she gave me a *huge* box of craft supplies left over from her classroom when they went on summer break. I would go in with a positive attitude. :)
