My brother faints at the sight or mention of blood. His wife has a heart condition that requires a fair amount of doctor visits, blood draws, etc. So this has been a problem in the past. He finds that if he has a purpose, he is less likely to faint, so taking notes, having a list of questions etc. He has also learned to quickly sit down and elevate his feet, even if it is embarrassing. He still faints sometimes.

I learned it in kindergarten and my 5 year old niece was singing it with me just the other day 😄

It's been a long time since I had kids in this age group, but I thought starfall.com was pretty high quality for pre-k skills. I don't know if they have an app or not.

Well, hopefully I can fix it later. I have read differing opinions about this, some say check the box if you get free lunch for any reason, others say only if you would income qualify. Our school is a title one school so we often get the benefits of that even though our income wouldn't qualify us. For instance, we get free SAT testing and were able to get free college applications, etc. So I felt like I was supposed to check the box 😬.

Quoting myself here because I found out why I didn't have to report assets. I checked the box stating that a member of our household receives free school lunch, which my (public schooled) kids do, as does every kid in my state attending public school. So that's interesting. I don't know if once they retrieve my IRS information I will be asked to provide my assets based on our income or if we will be exempt.

Our local high school (my oldest two attend) no longer offers any honors classes. You can choose AP if it's offered or you are in the general ed class for that subject. My kids have both taken some of their AP courses just to avoid being in general ed for the subject (because it's so abysmally taught). Because our school is a Title I school, we pay $5 per AP exam, the school pays the rest, so almost every student in the class takes the exam. Our pass rates are not great, depending on the subject there might only be 2 or 3 kids who pass (math and science mostly, other subjects have higher pass rates).

Semester- Long Chemistry for 3rd, 5th, and 6th Graders
amiesmom replied to Ting Tang's topic in K-8 Curriculum Board
Science Mom has a one semester chemistry course. It's aimed at 4th and 5th grade, but it might work for your family. We've used some of her other courses and really enjoyed them, but haven't done chemistry yet. https://sciencemom.teachable.com/p/chemistry -
I think it depends on what you are using it on. We have been very successful using it on a newer Kindle Fire, but I can't imagine using it in a phone, for example. For me, it's been worth every penny and I have no complaints.

My daughter made the opposite mistake when making cinnamon toast. The results were not good, haha!

Today was my grandmother's birthday. She would be 93. ❤️ Happy Birthday!

My daughter takes Ivabradine and it seems the pharmacy has to special order it every month. It takes forever to be delivered. She's a mess without it. I hope they're able to get a good supply of it for you.

I would say same age, it's pretty similar, just more streamlined.
