LOL and then when you are in the elevator and the songs come on.... start singing it for you kids and mine have actually said "wow that is a real song" :lol::lol: ohhh and the newest novelty is how mom know all the bon jovi songs LOL

OK that truly is bad.... really really bad. I remember going to the library when there was no summer reading program and I went GASP just for the joy of checking out library book :001_smile:

LOL I normally rot away on facebook and play some stupidly worthless game... or I look up stupid 80's songs I haven't thought about in 20 years and wonder why I have suddenly thought about them but just have to look them up :lol:

it is 12:30 am here and I have insomnia:glare: fairly bad.... so must nights I can be up as late as 3am but I might be upstairs reading or praying to get sleepy LOL blessings lori

I have been on the look out too and the only one I found is http://www.printable-puzzles.com/ hope that helps

That is great... I need to remember to do this weekly. I know my sanity starts to lack once co-op gets going :(

We are starting then too, but SHHHHHHHH (don't tell my mom or she will make me visit and I don't want to go into why that would be bad:D ) but we have put it off for the 2nd time now... We were going to start July 6th but umm I was not ready and then we were suppose to start this last Monday and my son got a full scholarship to camp so we put it off for 2 weeks.

We are using the Themes book and the American Literature, and I am even using the 7th grade book with my youngest. I love the selections and the questions, my kids answer their questions in a notebook and we discuss them. It has freed me, we have had lots of personal issues going on this year and so therefore we had to change and this is doable! hope that helps! blessings lori

:lol::lol: omg some were so so funny

I have a great one this week... my oldest son was being goofy at the lake :lol::lol::lol::lol: the link is in my signy

I have been wondering about this Michele, can you give a quick review of Lifepac's? is it easy to implement?

Yeah then I think you could easily do it... I would check and see if Book 1 of fractions and decimals is absolutly necessary. And you might want to pick the pages (you don't have to do every page) but yeah for those ages YES! HTH lori

How old? Are you doing it is a quick review or learning it for the first time?

How about Apples Spelling Drills they have two volumes? I am using it with my 9th grader and he is going to finish Vol.1 this year and will go to volume 2 mid-year it is great. HTH lori

he loves science, he loves doing workbook-y type things. We are doing an ocean study in the fall (complete with dissections) and he is taking a general science at co-op but he would love to do some more science at home:001_huh: Can you tell he like science??? Any ideas? need something cheap and workbook-y and not dumbed down or kiddy-ish thanks lori

No... We started in Jan. and I have planned all the way through this next year with about 5 weeks that he will finish the following year..It is an wonderful program my sons have LD and the oldest one is using it currently my youngest will finish Wordsmith Apprentice early this year and move into Jump In too.

yup we are... what subjects??? we are using mostly abeka, and bob jones... it is part of our theme for this year

omg... that is weird, this has just been a very strange week

MY 10th grader is doing: English 2 (abeka literature, Wordsmith Craftsman, Editor in chief/daily grams) Earth Science BJU we are beefing up by adding some projects Abeka American History Spanish 2 at co-op Algebra (we are a little behind in math) BJU Art History/drawing at co-op (we are still looking for something for art history) 1/2 semester of economics at co-op taught by my daughter in law This year I am needing things to be run on autopilot... we are recovering from a bad bad year (very teen trying and mentally difficult for me)

Yeah I am using it this year... it also has a transcript application available too and I have used that also... I like it a lot, very easy!

Apples and Pears Teach your child to read with 100 lesssons (or whatever the name is)

http://www.homeschoolskedtrack.com/ I am using this for this year... I so far like it, it is easy to imput stuff in and has a transcript option, best of all it is in our budget FREE hth lori

Indeed! My goal with my non LD child is very different from my 2 LD sons... I found that the rules really seems to have helped them, and if they don't get it correct at least it is close enough so you can figure out. :001_huh: Yup my youngest sometimes was very puzzling with his spelling but is a lot better now....

I think the best program is what works for your kids :D...HAHA just saying

It has helped my son so much, I wish I would have known about with my older son but my older son also had a specialis work with him. It is a very easy program to implement, one of the easiest I have seen in 11yo of homeschooling. I plan to use the last two books and than transition my youngest into the Apples Spelling Drill books. hth lori
