Anyone found a lit. guide for this book by Scott O'Dell? Thanks

I have this site bookmarked, there are links to many different guides and MANY secular guides. http://litplans.com/authors/C_S_Lewis.html I have one I used by Carson-Deliosa Publishing, for The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe for grades 2-5. Hope this help. :001_smile:

This is a FANTASTIC project, this is our 4th year joining Mystery Class. One of the best FREE educational projects out there!! :hurray:

Oh, I like this!! I also organise in my area and it is so frustrating!

I am wondering how religious this programme is? The Intro, World Lit., and British Lit.. http://www.smarrpublishers.com/2400g.html Thanks

Thanks for the links, will look into them. I like the Stewart Eng. is from the EPS site. Again...thanks! Carol

I am looking for ideas for grammar and literature studies for next year, grade 9. They must be secular please. We have used Growing with Grammar from grades 3 through 8. Thanks

Thank you both for the links!! :001_smile:

Ok, I want to order a copy of this: THE REAL REASONS FOR SEASONS: SUN-EARTH CONNECTIONS by GEMS Problem is I cannot find a Canadian supplier, and need to find a US one. One that also ships by USPS and NOT UPS or any of those other shippers, will cost me twice as much that way. Does anyone here know of a Canadian dealer or a US one that does USPS only? Thanks!

We take all December and 2 weeks into January off for the holidays. It is wonderful! We get tons of crafting, baking, and just getting ready for the holidays done with no rushing around. It was the best decision I even made!! :001_smile:

Kringle by Tony Abbott was a fantastic read-aloud! I remember liking so much I emailed the author telling him it would be a great movie, he emailed me back saying they are planning on a movie, hopefully soon.

LOL...once the local Pita Pit had a sign that mentioned having a "bowel" of ice cream. I suggested they may want to fix that lol.

I do think sure, the parent may not have handled the situation well with how it played out, but just handle it and use it as a learning experience. What bothers me is how many people here are exactly what you say, cruel! That any kid out of the "norm" must have some issue, or not be able to think logically. Halloween we are guilty of still enjoying also, my 10 and 13 year old still go out and have great fun, Easter too...still collecting those eggs lol.

Oh I agree, and girls would probably eat each other alive if they could lol. We homeschool, my kids hang with homeschoolers and school kiddos...not an issue. I know if our circle, kids believe until they just don't believe. Never once in my 11 years homeschooling has this been an issue lol, even discussed. We just seem to all respect each other and remember some may still believe. I have 5 kids, the older three(25,23,21 now) all believed until about 10-12 also...and at that time they were all in school. I told them to believe what THEY wanted to believe if they came home asking. It's not like they were running around getting pics with Santa still lol, by that age the"knew" but maybe still WANTED to believe. Guess what...they have no issues now because of it, they managed to go to university, get degrees, become officer-cadets in the Air Force. We didn't ruin their lives because we perpetuated the MYTH of Santa, so not too worried about my younger kiddos. :lol:

The point is WHO CARES, who or what does it hurt for these kids to still believe a little later than some? Implying that they must have something wrong with them, or be sheltered, have mental issues...what is that about? Seriously, what is the harm? Show me some stats that these kids will be permanently scarred for life lol because they believed a little longer than some.
