I was just about to edit my post ask how often Latin should be covered. Thank you for clearing that up. I like the sound of looping the electives. I’ve really wanted to incorporate Dad into school but, with him working out of state two weeks on and two weeks off it seemed impossible to include him consistently. This schedule would solve that perfectly! Thank you for your thoughts.

I’m not really sure. I’ve just started researching curriculum so no idea of how many lessons to incorporate. I just know that from what I’ve seen 6th grade seems to be a good point to start Logic.

I have all of our curriculum figured out but I’m trying to decide how to schedule out every subject throughout the week. My ds is in 6th grade and we school five days a week, year-round. Here are our subjects: Math LA- Writing, Grammar, Spelling, Vocab, Literature History Science Geography Spanish Logic Latin Typing Fine Arts I know that we’ll do Math, Writing, and Literature every day, but I'm having trouble with how much of the other subjects to cover over the week. I’d like to block schedule History and Science with History on MWF and Science T/Th. Can anyone help me out with the rest? Thanks!

I'm looking for a Science program/curriculum for my third grader who is very hands on and enjoys experiments. I work from home, though, so it's not always feasible for me to be very hands on when it comes to every subject. It would be amazing to find a program that could work with our needs and also have any needed materials included. Does such a program exist?

"Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead" is a great documentary. It may still be streaming on Netflix.

Thanks so much, Angie. That helps me understand it a lot better If you don't mind me asking, what is it about Omnibus that you don't like? Thanks again!

Geez! I'm in TX and our summers start in May and don't end until mid-end of October. So, that's about half of the year spent in flip-flops or sandals.

I've tried the nail wraps before. I did a French manicure style and it lasted 2 weeks! They were a pain in the booty to apply but looked great once on. I bought the Sally Hansen ones.

Yikes, Amy! And hugs to everyone who had a crappy Mother's Day. :( It's a little late but...... Done: - Water the garden - Breakfast - Unload/load dishwasher - Start a load of laundry - Tidy up the master bath - Scoop the litter box (blech) - Lunch To Do: - Clean the living room - Finish school (Ds is having an attitude today, so he was sent to his room for a while) - Dinnner & Clean-up - Nightly walk I think that everything. ;)

I keep any art that isn't just scribbles. Ds isn't very artsy so there's not much. I also like to keep his writings, whether it's a story he made up or just a handwriting practice sheet. I think it's cute to look back on how his handwriting has improved and the silly stories he told.

I'm the same way. Maybe I need to buy better quality polish. Not to mention I suck at painting with my non dominant hand. It turns out about as good as when Ds does them for me. ;)

I hear ya. No professional pedis for me. I can't stand other people touching my feet. They are so ticklish, it literally sends me through the roof. LOL!

So sweet! Hope you feel better soon!
