just ordered a couple of different ones of these. i like that they're flat, laminated, and seem comprehensive, though simple.
-
i stick them in page protectors and use dry/wet erase markers.

yep. here, too.

I give up cleaning and simplify cooking. Laundry is easy, DIamond does her own, almost nothing we own needs to be ironed. Deep=cleaning is rare. Breakfast is rarely cooked- eachof us gets our own when hungry. Lunches are simple, mid-level healthy... turkey hot sogs and applesauce, good-brand deli meats, homemade mac-n-cheese, ramen noodles (no MSG pack!) and canned chicken. Dinner is usually homemade, mostly scratch- I do use jar spaghetti sauce.
I also use simpler materials for school. Anythign that requires hours of advance planning and specific library books rarely gets done.
this is me. i have 4-soon to be 5- 8 and under.. i wish i could afford a cleaning lady. i'm not overly fond of cooking, especially right now. we survive. my house is a mess, but my kids are healthy. school is random, but we school year round. hubby's schedule changes every 4 months and he usually continues to work when he gets home. i'm working on training my kids, but consistency is not my strong point so it is slow going.

how do you critique/correct/guide/ TEACH writing if you have no idea how to do it yourself? Even narration trips me up. My dd LOVES to write stories and i want to harness that passion and help guide her, but i seriously have NO idea how to do it. i can send her to write whatever the curric says, and i know it needs help, but i don't know how to fix it. is there anything i can do?

I agree "will be going into" is a mouthful, but I'm trying to figure out how
"She is a rising 2nd grader."
is any shorter than
"She will be in second grade."
The second option has fewer syllables and uses less confusing terminology.
No need to use "will be going into" or "in the fall" or whatever else....
:tongue_smilie:
what about advertising for camps, classes, meetings, etc for specific grades? "kids who will be in second grade" is much harder/wordy/etc. than "rising 2nd graders"
-
don't see as much that i'd use this time. gotta see if it's worth the money...
-
i would wait until at least 2nd grade. i did it with my 2nd grader last year and she enjoyed it, but she was very into the topic right then. and even then she didn't "get" everything. after a while we didn't even do the notebooking journal or experiments, just read. we did get extra books from the library and she watched videos on the topic, too. i figure at that age it's really more about introduction and exposure anyway. we are doing botany this year.

not sure if this is at all what you're looking for, but may be helpful for daily..

thanks, all. *I* have an inductive study Bible, but i thought there might be a different one for the kids. so i was thinking of getting her a niv or nirv action Bible. can i still do that and just use my inductive Bible as a resource and if she gets stumped?
-
I purchased a couple of these based on some recommendations I saw on here. I read tht they recommend a NASB and a New Inductive Study Bible. How important is it to have these specific translations, especially the study Bible? Thanks!
-
ok, for the discover for yourself studies, what kind of Bible do you have? i just read it says new american standard and new inductive study Bible. how important is it to have these specific ones?

we did astronomy. i don't know what the regular notebook has, but the junior includes coloring pages, print and cursive scripture copywork, vocab activities, minibooks, fascinating facts pages, and extra activities to supplement. we only used it about 1/3 of the year because we discovered we are just NOT lapbook people and that's basically what it is.
-
we saved sotw1 and apologia astronomy both for 2nd grade. i really felt it was over her head before that.
-
i know we veered off topic for a little bit, but does anyone else have an opinion on classical vs. ecclesiastical? we're tied so far. :P
-
ok, what would be the benefit of keeping all the sections separate? as opposed to just double sided printing the whole book?
-
thanks, but wow. that was just one big jumble of mumbo jumbo to my tired pregnant mommy brain. we haven't started yet so maybe it will make more sense in a while? i was hoping to print out only the consumable pages and just do the rest online. option #2 is dh can take it to work and have it printed there.
-
just noticed in your siggy that you're using lively latin. that's what we'll be using, too! any hints or tips?
-
how do you choose? is one more beneficial than the other?
-
we school year round, but our "official" start date for a new year is the day after labor day.

that's the beauty of mm. presenting every approach imaginable makes sure it hits on at least one that clicks for every student. i also like my kids to have a bunch of strategies in their arsenal in case one doesn't work for a particular problem, they can just draw on another approach instead of getting frustrated. we have the pre-cc version so i don't even know what the new one looks like, but i'm glad to hear she didn't change this wonderful component.

we do 1 "section" a day and only do half the problems as long as she demonstrates competency.

following. i actually bought the program at a used curric sale and still can't figure it out. it seems so complicated for some reason.. i do not have any student pages so maybe that's it? i do have the beginner timeline and something else.
