You know, I think they all have $1 wooden crosses tied to ribbons around the house somewhere. I should probably just find those, huh?
-
Thanks! That sounds like something my kids would like.
-
Ohhh, that's a good idea. And yeah, all those lost ones ARE from their baptism. *sigh* They weren't fancy, though!

Shrimp poppers with seasoned fries and a veggie for this non-cooking mama.
There, now you have my favorite lenten "recipe". ;)

:seeya: Hi! I haven't been around lately, but wanted to pop in to ask where you like to buy cross necklaces for your kids? I figured that Milovany and Mommaduck must surely need replacements from time to time! :) We have one broken and lost, one simply broken, and one simply lost. I am looking for very inexpensive crosses.
Thanks!
Forgive me!!

As others said, you can do more than one chapter at once. In addition, this year I added in Math 4 Today by Carson Dellosa. It's just 4 problems a day to review concepts. There are a number of other review books that do the same thing. I've been really pleased with the combination.

Hello and welcome! :)

Twelfth Night... ohhhhhhhh.... light bulb Shakespeare moment here...
Milovany, what kinds of things are you planning? What do the rest of you do, if anything? -
Congratulations! That is a beautiful name!

Word Bingo is fun for a child who's ready to practice the words on the Dolch list (i.e. "sight words"). I don't teach sight words as such, so it depends on their reading level. Fun game, though. :)

Got this in an email this morning (Oct 17th). Thought some of you might be interested. This is for http://www.uncutmountainsupply.com/

I start mine reading with other resources, then shift them to Spalding in 1st grade.
DS5 is currently reading with Bob Books, Explode the Code book 2, and the vintage Word Mastery available through google books. I've started teaching some "teams" (ch, th, etc.) but it's very low pressure at this point.

Our first three weeks of school were fabulous. Now I feel like we're just barely slogging through! This is our 7th week now. We're on lesson 3 for Latin (i.e. we're going so painfully slowly that retention is nearly impossible). I have felt crabby and horribly impatient almost every day. I chucked my son's Spelling Workout book the very first day of school and decided to continue with Spalding for spelling instead (no regrets there). History is at a total standstill this week - I'd wanted to do more with Shakespeare but I think we're just going to have to move on.
Part of the problem here is that I've had lots of work online these past few weeks. This is a good thing! And yet, at the same time, it's NOT.
Anyway, it's not all bad. It's just my crazy head that's affecting us day to day. Pray for me if you think of it! :) -
Truly, I think that reading a Psalm every morning would teach all that and more! :)

This 100th Anniversary Edition. I saw this in person and knew that I simply couldn't live without it. :) It's sooo beautiful and wonderful! The amazon price is really good, too. Well worth it.
-
Congrats!! How wonderful! :D
-
Thanks!
Is it ever withheld as punishment/discipline?
My understanding is that yes, it can be. However, I'm not sure that "punishment" would be the word. Again, it's a matter of safeguarding. If a person is intentionally and repeatedly acting in a such a way that they are disrespecting the Church, her teachings, or their priest, it seems evident that some issues need to be addressed.
[Disclaimer: I know very little. This is just my understanding, and I could be mistaken!]

For transferring over, we have done flashcards for memorization, letting them use the rods when they don't know the answer. I just tell them to first see if they know the answer without using the rods. (beth83, I see in your siggy that your DD uses Horizons Math 1, which we also used for first grade.)
-
Age of Captivity is exactly where we are right now, trying to finish up SOTW 2. I will look it over more thoroughly later.
-
We are technically part of a church school per AL laws, so our name is not determined by us. We did change cover schools this year, though, to our parish! Now we have a lovely saint name for our school, rather than the name chosen by our previous Protestant-based school. :)

I have no experience with language disorders, but I can say that this was normal for my DS (my middle child). He's better now at 7 than he was at 5. I've started WWE this year to try to help him in that area.
-
I am so very interested in seeing this and reading more about it! I already have plans for this year's science, but there's always next year. :)

P.S. I am not a self-proclaimed "geek", but I figured surely someone here would get a kick out of it! :)

I hadn't followed her blog for very long before she disappeared. I had purchased Ages of Grace, then ended up not using much of it. I was concerned, like many others, when she suddenly disappeared, and I wish she would have posted even some very short word of explanation ("overwhelmed, things are okay, gonna disappear for awhile").
I'm not adding the blog to my reader just yet. I'll keep an eye on it and see.
Cross necklaces for kids

Here's a question for you... Their baptismal crosses get blessed at baptism. Does one get a replacement cross blessed?
