We are withdrawing our daughter from school on Monday. We have homeschooled before, but she is currently in a charter school. Anyway. I don't want to spend a fortune on curriculum for 2 1/2 months of school. What would recommendations be to give her a strong education in the core subjects.

Thank you soooooooo much for this!! It has been a huge stress of mine!

Thanks!

What do the abbreviations stand for with SS? Thanks :)

I saw on Amazon that they suggested combining this with Around the world in 80 days, but I am curious what other book would work well.

I saw great reveiws for it on Homeschoolreviews.com Hope that helps a little :)

I had a baby with reflux. Have you tried him sleeping in a carseat, or one of those inclined bouncer things. or even putting a pillow under the mattress to raise the head. All my babies wouldn't sleep on their backs either. They just preferred tummy. BUT with the whole breathing issue in your family. I would definetely incline.

You probably are not being brought up. The comment made public are usually about what is going on in their lives. Anyone posting about someone elses life is irritating. It isn't a gossip network. It is a "Hey, I just had a baby. Here are the pics" kind of thing. You are good, don't worry about it :)

Whooping cough has a distinct sound. You can actually listen to it on Youtube. My sound isn't working or I would pull it up. Always good to get it checked out just in case :)

We do different kinds of themes instead of flavors...just an idea. For my daughter she had an electric guitar made out of cake. http://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/electric-guitar-cake/11f9e698-0220-4993-997a-967c4112d34c You could totally make it with natural stuff instead though :)

If the window has Ben open, it could have been Mosquitos. Definitely give some benydryl. Bless his heart. Maybe cover in bug spray before tonight.

:iagree: I guess I would say before ever talking about the behavior issue, Iwould sit down one night and really deeply discuss how you want your family to be raised and your home to be like, without discussing the issue. What kind of parents you want to be. What kind of relationships you want with your kids. What kind of expectations you have for cleanliness and behavior. Right it down. I found my dh and I had very similar wants.....but maybe lack of knowledge on how to get there. So when something arose, there were just fireworks. Once we both knew what we wanted we came up with a mutual plan to get there. It totally helped....and we're still working on it. This does not happen overnight. Also, when it comes to this certain issues. Listen completely without interruption and ask question to try and completely understand what he is expecting of the kids. A lot of times my dh and I wanted the same things but said it differently. Also, you can't discuss it in front of the kids, or while you are both mad. You both have to take a deep breath and say I want to hear your side. then try and come up with something that you both agree on, even if it means not going with either of your ideas. I found a lot of times my husband and I disliked the same behavior, but because I handled it different than him, he thought approved the behavior. Once he understood we were on the same page we were able to come up with a plan of attack, or I had more freedom to do it the way I want. LOVE the book 7 habits of an effective family. Huge life changer. Hope that helps. :001_smile:

3rd grade lagic or 3rd grade age?...hmm, maybe I should check the site

WHOA!!! That is sooo cool! So they need to be at 8th grade level to take it, no matter the age?
