Engaging yet worthy Reading suggestions
SereneHome replied to Matryoshka's topic in Logic Stage & Middle Grade Challenges
Wow, what a great list -
Yes, my husband did, YEARS ago, 30 yrs ago. But when he tried doing the same thing when we were in a car accident and I was 8 months pregnant, it was an entirely different situation. We had to get a lawyer.

While that might be true, this case has nothing to do with the govt! It has everything to do with insurance company. @ScarlettThis is too complicated of a case to do without a lawyer. But my uneducated guess is that they will cover up to the limit of the insured. You need to find out if your parents can sue for punitive damages (which are taxable, btw)

Adventures in America, Sonlight K, or something else
SereneHome replied to AnneGG's topic in K-8 Curriculum Board
I wanted to do Adventures in America when my oldest was in K. It was toooooo much reading for that age. My 5 yr old couldn't remember anything. So I just picked some books from the curriculum and he colored a few state pages. I really really liked the idea of doing American History before World History, but it just didn't stick. But I did like the curriculum - she gives a short "summary", but mostly you are just reading recommended books. Like I said, my then 5 yr old didn't understand it and didn't retain any of it. -
How to teach spelling efficiently?
SereneHome replied to Ordinary Shoes's topic in K-8 Curriculum Board
I have all 7 levels AAS. I just gave up using it. My oldest, who is now 12, would do great during lessons and then couldn't spell "cat". He just really really is not good at spelling. My middle kid had 5 minutes of lessons but spells fairly well. Jury is still out on my youngest, who is 9. I stopped using tiles somewhere in the middle of level 2.....I just couldn't handle all those little tiny tiles....so I wrote things on a board. But I am not teaching spelling this year. I just can't handle it. We are doing Fix it Grammar and I am hoping that my oldest will improve by simply doin
