We too are going to do ECC next year, with a 5th and 3rd. I've been poring over the TM and books, and I'm really excited. It's going to feel like a "break" in some ways from the rigorous history we've done the past four years. I've been leaning more toward Charlotte Mason in my heart, yet still teaching with the rigor of classical/WTM, and I've been feeling a lack of balance. I love the missions emphasis and how they integrate Bible.
I really can't wait! :) Linda

Monday night at 10:00 on ABC. :) We recorded it but haven't watched it yet. Yeah, Brian and I had the "unfinished" one years ago figured out ... or did we?
I too can't imagine the show without Anderson. :001_huh:

This is where I go when I'm hoping for a code...
... but there isn't one listed there for CBD (christianbook.com) right now.

Camy,
Thank you for sharing this recipe! I've been looking for healthy, cheaper meal options and this was a big hit for all four of us! :) Linda

Yesterday I made Camy's "Easy Lunch Idea" and it was both easy and delicious. My kids actually ate it (in a tortilla with salsa and cheese with fresh veggies and fruit on the side) for lunch and dinner yesterday, and lunch again today, by request! :001_huh: DH and I really liked it too, so I'm planning on buying a big bag of pintos today at Costco! :) I'll attempt to link to her post, but you could search for "Easy Lunch Idea" if it doesn't work. :) Linda

My daughter (finally) finished through the Z lists, a few months back during her 4th grade year. We still review the rules, etc., and will probably re-do some of the last lists. She started in 1st grade.

We did the Civil War one earlier this year and loved it! My kids are in 4th and 2nd grade. LOVE History Pockets! :) Linda

That's the one show that DH and I enjoy and watch! :)

I'm very excited about my mom's gift this year! My sis and I put together a frame with 3 5x8 black and whites... my mom and grandma at my mom's wedding, me and mom at mine, and my sis and mom at hers. It turned out beautiful, and I can't wait to see my mom's face when she opens it! :)

We love our '05 Honda Odyssey, which we bought used in the summer of '06. Never had any problems; never regretted the purchase!

We're using both levels here. I love the program, in that it got my kids to finally enjoy the writing process. :lol:
I honestly don't think it would be cost-effective to copy the whole workbook anyway, even if it weren't against copyright laws (which it is).
I do think it's worth it to just buy an extra workbook for each of your extra kids.
Thank you, Amy, for a great product! I've never regretted my purchase!

Radishes, carrots, lettuce, spinach, garlic, peas, beans, summer squash, pumpkins, zucchini (only 1 plant! :001_huh:), tomatoes, sunflowers... all in our 3 little square foot garden boxes!

Mine are 10 and 8, 4th and 2nd grade.

I simply printed them off and keep them handy. When I decide it's time to do some writing/narrating/etc. I pull out one that looks appropriate and they go to it!
:) Linda
-
We read 3 or 4 of the others, but I'd agree that the first one is the best. Thanks for that link - very handy!

These are great! We are finishing up the Prairie Primer, and have loved all of it (even my 8yo ds!). We can print off the sheet music and play/sing the songs -very cool!

Carli, have you watched any of the IEW TWSS DVD's? I watched the first one last week, and it really made sense to me finally. I'm going to continue with WT this year and plan to finally implement IEW in the fall. The way I understand it, with IEW, she could pick a topic, and you could find that topic in a history or science encyclopedia (or where ever!) and she could write from that. Is that what she wants, or does she want to make up fictional stories of her own?
I'm still figuring it out, obviously, for us too. But I'm excited to watch more of the TWSS! :) Linda

:iagree:
I completely agree! Mine are still 10 and 8, but I've been realizing just how quickly they grow up! Enjoy and treasure each day at whatever stage you are at! Thanks for the good reminder.

We got the one FunnyFarmMom mentioned at http://www.homesciencetools.com
the link for the kit is http://www.hometrainingtools.com/product_categories/97/products/5888-zoology---science-kit
It's only $25, and they ship really fast! It has everything we need other than common household stuff for the main experiments (we are on lesson 4 this week).
:) Linda
-
We're using it right now (lesson 4 this week). So far we all really love it! I'm really glad that I spent the extra money to get the experiment supplies kit from http://www.homesciencetools.com too! :)

Another vote for any of the Walk Away the Pounds DVD's by Leslie Sansone! My library has quite a few; yours may too if you want to try them before buying something! :)
-
I've done it, no problem! Just make sure you wrap it well (maybe 2 or 3 layers, bags, whatever you're using)
Tonight is our neighbor's yearly party and I may just go insane

I'm so glad (for you!) that it's over now!
On the other hand, our next-door neighbors keep us up at least once a week (during the summer) with their loud "gatherings" in their back yard. I feel your pain. ;)
