[Favorite Netflix Streaming Educational Shows for Elementary Age?]

I've been in Africa for 4 years... so forgive me if the question is dumb. When you upload Netflix videos to watch on your home TV, do you get to keep the movies forever, do they expire after a while...? Can someone explain how it works? Also, if you go offline say with an iPad, but you have a Netflix uploaded onto it, does it stay on there until you reconnect to wifi again? Need a little clarity about how using Netflix on your ipad type stuff works. Thanks.

[FIAR with Classical Education]

Thanks! Any ideas what a good price is for the curriculum used?

[FIAR with Classical Education]

I used FIAR for 1st and now 2nd. I usually try to go with the history that is covered in the manual and add a picture book, short bio, or time period book that goes with the lessons. But when we are not doing that we sometimes read from a history reader. It is not too much. Let me give you an example of how I handle the rowingss that include history. This week we are rowing Paul Revere's Ride. For my dd's reading aloud practice she will read from If You Lived In Colonial Times. For our read-aloud time we are reading Phoebe and the General. She will watch Liberty's Kids. One very history-packed week. Not all weeks are like that, some are more science based, or art, etc. But adding a simple history reader (CHOW, SOTW, etc) is not too much. Read it as a bedtime story if it better suits you that way. HTH

The insight regarding FIAR has been great. I bought a bunch of the books hoping to do just what many of you have described... doing it on top of other things, just to make the little ones feel apart (I have 3 kids, all 1 year apart). But I was going to try doing the FIAR thing without the curriculum. What do you think? Do I really need it? Thanks.
