  1. These are all great, and very affordable options, thank you! I had requested the studies weekly magazines just yesterday and the others I am looking into. Thank you!
  2. I have a few that have just made me scratch my head. When my oldest was maybe 4 or 5 months old she would chew her hands (not actually suck her thumb) and I had a lady at the grocery store tell me if I put tobasco sauce on her hands she would stop. I told her I would think about it. When my 2 nd was a few days old we were in target and someone made a special trip over to tell me babies died "all the time" in moby wraps and I was neglectful for carrying her that way. And when my second was about 7 months old I was at the grocery store with a cart full of groceries. The older lady in front of me was clearly studying what I had in my cart then finally said "honey, she still needs formula at her age" I told her she was breastfed and she puckered her lips then said "i don't see any baby food either" I told her that she just ate off of our plates. She looked at my 28 lb 7 month old and said "she's just going to starve" and moved to the next line shaking her head. I always get the comments about no hat or socks. My kids are really 1 step away from nudist thugh so most days I'm lucky they even have pants on at the post office.
  3. Ours is by the number of books, I don't really know if audiobooks count as I've never thought to include them. My girls do listen to audiobooks most nights while falling asleep but they are still expected to actually read some.
  4. Not really history but something that would be cc aligned for 1st grade. Mostly just something very superficial. I haven't sold my husband on long term homeschooling and he is wanting me to put our girls in the lottery for the charter school we like for 2014/2015. The social studies is the only area that I think we may be lacking. We are using sonlight for our core, aas and Singapore. I need something just for a day or two a week just in case. I don't think it will be an issue because we won't put one in school without the other and my4 year old who shouldn't start school until 2014 is already on a late kindergarten level. By then I expect her to be around a second grade level and I know would not do well in a kindergarten classroom, she would be bored out of her mind. Just trying to keep the hubby happy.
  5. We are in the exact spot. We are actually on a break until August so during our "break" that's what she's working on. She is doing a row of the mental math worksheets from the back of the IG a day and we are reading the life of Fred series as well. Either way she is only spending about 5 minutes a day doing those, it's really just enough to keep refreshing her.
  6. I have celiac disease and I've been using a lot of zucchini this summer. My kids and I have fallen in love with lasagna made with thinly sliced zucchini instead of noodles, mini pizzas made in a slice of zucchini instead of dough. I'm also very curious about the pie.
  7. My daughter will be 7 in october she is in 1st grade and I am struggling with math. I don't even really think its math but just numbers in general. She struggles with number recognition, counting by 2s and 5s, Identifying many numbers (11, 12, 13, 15, then several others) we have been working on identifying and remembering numbers up to 100 for over a year now. She will get it then the next day it's gone again. Some days it doesn't even take a day but I can tell her what something is and then 2 minutes later she's telling me she "forgot" again. It is driving me insane, I know she hates math and is getting frustrated. She has memorized her addition and subtraction facts up to 10, gets greater than and less than, seems to understand place value but it's just the actual numbers she can't remember. Reading, spelling, etc she breezes through but we are struggling with this. Any suggestions in programs? We have done a lot of number charts and it just doesn't stick with her. And we use Singapore math this year and did Mcruffy last year.
  8. Thanks for the replies. I packed her up And we went but called the center right at 8 when they opened to see what they would prefer we do. We live too far away to call before we left the house. The therapist told us to "absolutely come in" they had a whole separate sick area so we used a different entrance and everything. She said because of scheduling they really don't want you to cancel the day of for any reason and they will make it work. I was not trying to be a "selfish" mom I was really just frustrated and the hubby and I had different opinions on what should be done.
  9. Im so upset. My middle dd has been waiting for a speech evaluation for almost 5 months after going through a 5 month process with the school system which ended in them telling us she's delayed but not delayed enough for them to offer services, so we have a private evaluation this morning. She was throwing up last night. I am so upset, it has been almost a year and canceling will mean another 5 month wait. She hasn't been sick since about midnight, still says she doesn't feel great this am but says she doesn't actually feel nauseous, my youngest was sick yesterday so I'm fairly certain it is actually a virus and not just something she ate. do I bring her to the evaluation (what the hubby wants us to do) cancel (whatbim leaning towards) the appointment is at 8:15 so we don't really have time to call and see what they suggest. Wwyd?
  10. Thanks for the input! I think we will give wwe a try. To the poster who suggested continuing with handwriting would you suggest I just get the 2 nd grade workbook then?
  11. I had hyperemesis with all 3 of mine, all we're girls. I had the most luck with a zofran and phenergan cocktail that my midwives prescribed.
  12. There is an advertisement in our bulletin for a lady who teaches NFP classes but I've never heard it mentioned or pushed. The only time I can ever remember it being mentioned by a priests when dh and I were going through our marriage prep.
  13. We started 1st grade with our oldest in April, she has about 10 pages left in HWOT handwriting so I feel like I need a backup. She struggles a lot with writing and understanding how to write in whole sentences so I was thinking about writing with ease. I thought that would give her the opportunity to keep practicing handwriting and also touch on how to write complete sentences well. Anyone recommend that? Fwiw we are using sonlight core a and the core a science, Singapore and life of Fred math, FLL for grammer (which we love) and all about spelling we will start in august. My thought was to do WWE and FLL on alternating days.
  14. Our priest have always made a short statement at weddings and funerals basically saying they are glad for those wo came to the event but that in the church only those who were currently practicing Catholics were able to accept the holy communion. To the op the last funeral mass I went to was my grandmothers, our family is pretty split as far as denominations. Everyone went to the rosary and those wo didn't care to just sat quietly while the rest of us said the rosary. Same for the funeral, they just sat while the others went for communion but everyone did stand together when appropriate.
  15. We occasionally do. If the lesson is a lot of review or a concept that clicked instantly and we finish the lesson very early I may move ahead a bit if the next lesson seems retry basic. I never teach 2 completely different concepts on the same day though. But today for example we are starting a new math program since we just finished her kindergarten work. It was really basic stuff she knew well and after I did the lesson I left her to do what was supposed to be 2 little workbook pages, I checked back 10 minutes later and she had finished all the pages that were meant for this week and started on next weeks lessons.
