I've always wondered the same thing about the Amazon reviews. Thanks all for clearing these up.

I'm raising an independent thinker and boy did we pay for it last year! He didn't fair well at the private preschool we were at. I was told he does not "sit and do his work like the other kids" instead he asked questions! Oh no....not question asking!;):tongue_smilie: Heaven forbid! I'm happy to have him home. The world needs more "question askers" and free thinkers alike!

Such great ideas....I love traveling and I love to dream about where I might go someday. Please continue to add on!:)

Just trying to soak up the knowledge....:D

:lurk5: I'm DYING to know about this series....I studied philosophy in college.

You're getting funding? That's pretty neat. For us...we my ds will be 6 in August...the very END of August, so he could either be in K or 1st according to our cut-off date. I'm choosing to call it K but at the rate we're going, we'll start 1st grade material (history, science, spelling....) in January. We part time school over the summer (object in motion stays in motion!). Right now we just do lots of reading, printing/handwriting, math and that's about it. Good luck!

Most of the time we take a few read alouds (ds6). When I'm worried about keeping a schedule (ds needs a schedule to do well) then I take math because it's the easiest for us to tote around.

Anyone have any insight on Asia? Every been there? Know much about it?
-
I'm trying to do a mini-version of that, only a month or two in Costa Rica. I hope you get it figured out and get out of here. What an amazing opportunity for you and your kids! They won't forget it. You have my vote...buen viaje!
-
I'm dying to know too....we'll be in a similar boat soon too....maybe with HO, maybe with SOTW. So if anyone out there has great projects they likes for HO Ancients, level one. Add that to this as well!

Hypothetically...if you could take about 10 days for an international trip to conclude the 1st year of history (Ancients), where would you go and why? Middle East, Asia....? No budget, no worries...but only 10 days...I guess maybe 14 days at the tops. What geographical areas would you highlight, what topics would you cover, food, people, government..... (this would be for younger kids...under 12). I know it's a long shot, but everyone likes to dream sometimes!

Best $110 we ever spent. Totally worth it, IMO. We learned so much, were finally able to get a plan together for our money (present and future). It is such a relief knowing where our money is going each paycheck. It might not have changed how much we actually make, but it sure changed our outlook on the future.
:iagree:
I actually took this class while still in college and I was SO blessed! As soon as I graduated, I knew exactly how to budget, what I was doing and where my money was going. I'm quite young and my car is paid for, my student loans are paid off and life is that much better because of it. If you have college age kids I highly recommend they take this course. I was so helpful for me to have to the knowledge I had when I got my first paycheck. I still use the cash system while paying for certain things...groceries, gas.....and such. Just a few weeks ago the cashier (cute older woman) said...usually the people that pay cash are MY age-not some young cute little girl like you! I responded by saying that I appreciated how permanent cash was and that it helped me stay on budget better. I loved the class and owe my financial stability to it. Good luck!

With the latest edition especially, it is mostly SWB recommending PHP work: SOTW, FLL, etc. ( well, yeah ... duh she wrote it ;)). I do enjoy the updated reading lists though.
That's how I feel...I don't like that she recommended so much of what she wrote. To me that's a bit biased....I appreciated it when she would recommend a program that she wrote and then at least 2 additional ones that she did not write but likes anyway. Either way, I enjoyed the 1st and 3rd editions for different reasons and appreciate what she has done for homeschooling and classical education as a whole!

Anyhow, we finally went to a dermatologist and this is what he told us to do.
Soak her in a tub of warm water until she gets pruney (about 20 minutes or so). As soon as she gets out, dab her dry with a towel and HERE'S THE VERY CRITICAL PART -- within 4 minutes, slather all the affected areas with vasoline, and put clean pajamas on (we always did this right before bedtime). THat's it. Within a few treatments of the this vasoline remedy, her eczema was completely gone. S Hope that helps.
This is what we were also told though the doc mentioned Aquaphor(sp?). It's made by Eucerine (sp again..not doing so well tonight!). It's just like whipped vasoline as far as I can tell. In our home, prevention is key...good luck!

Elated, terrified, worried, nervous, and completely relieved. My DH wasn't 100% on board, but it was important to me to have an open mind and hear him out, so I visited one school after another, researched all the ones in the area, and even sent him the a private preschool. I'm SO glad we did even though it was a long, long year. We hated it, and this school was our only viable choice for a school for ds in the future. So, given we didn't like it, it made the decision that much easier. And, last Sunday, Dh let me know that he would only have ds h'schooled, no ps. What a relief.

We're in central IA and it's been cool...though by the end of August it's SO hot and SO humid that I'm actually taking the cool weather pretty well. It's been rather rainy which makes for a muddy house with 2 ds but such is life. I hate keeping them indoors, they'd rather play outside anyway!

Thanks all...
I have read WTM but there's so many suggestions...IEW, RS, SW, HWOT...then for phonics there's Abeka, OPGTR, ETC and the list goes on. So I think I have a little bit more clarity now. Thanks for the insight.

I did! Check your e-mail to make sure you received payment. Thanks!

Ok...I'm totally confused. I keep trying to read and re-read different threads and posts about language arts (grammar, spelling, reading/phonics, writing..what am I missing? vocabulary?) but I just get more and more bogged down. How do I figure out when to use FLL and WWE or Writing Strands...SW, and other curriculum, and what subjects those "count" for. If I (eventually, not 1st grade) use IEW, then do I not use WWE? Help....I'm over loaded...clearly! Could anyone please lay out a sample of what types of things are used in K(is this just phonics/reading and handwriting?), then 1st grade and then 2nd (and add if there are different subjects later on?) :confused:

How can I increase my Private Message box limit? Right now I have a limit of 20...is that the standard? Or do I need to make a bunch of posts or something to increase it?
Thanks!

The first edition is my fav, though I reference the 3rd for "non-out of print book lists" for things. I have fond memories of devouring the 1st edition up and just loved how my world changed when I read it.
Eczema?
