[I am a rookie beggin' for help from the vet's]

Hey guys,

Thanks for all your input, so many suggestions on how to move through this transition! I think I need to take a :chillpill: pill....and repeat to myself....'there's no place like home....there's no place like home"

 

Have a lovely week all! Deb:)

[I am a rookie beggin' for help from the vet's]

:001_huh:I am literally a rookie at homeschooling, just started last tuesday. We are coming out of public school with my 4th grader and 7th grader....anyone else out there like me? I found the WTM last winter and fell in love with the principals and so I have followed it almost verbatum....day 1 we were in school until 4:00 with 40 min. for lunch and excercise....your laughing I know, but we did figure it out and have managed to reduce our day substantially by using a new fangled thing called "THE CLOCK".....duh yup it's true....hee hee hee:tongue_smilie: What has me most concerned is my son's history, I feel like I need more structure. I love dd 9's SOTW cirric. it is fabulous and complete, but for my son I need more than just the KingFisher Encyclopedia and a book or two for the particular time line and some blackline maps.....help!!!

Also, for my daughter I got the recommended "Physics for Children" book, very simplistic and very outdated, Susan definitely mentions that in the book, I intended to do Chemistry for my son....we never got to anything this week? Could I just do Chemistry for both? What do you use?

 

The other cirriculum I purchased I absolutely love, but best of all my kids are really loving it, such a blessing to be able to be doing this! I am having a blast. I so appreciate all the posts and advice from those of you out there....God bless you all! these boards have really helped to reassure me in this endeavour, I have never posted to any other message board in my life. If you have a minute to help I am open to any suggestions, forgive my lack of akronyms....just good ole' full sentances here!......debbie:)

Okay people, hook a newbie up......what does the ds or dd stand for next to your kids ages......i couldn't find anything on this in the "sticky

for abbrev." perhaps the obvious is too obvious or shockingly as a newbie I am on information overload.....someone out there throw me a bone!!!! Thanks, Deb:drool:
