Amazing list! Thanks so much for taking the time!

Good morning! I am looking for a literature based history specifically to go with Classical Conversations Cycle 3 next year. =)

Do you have an online current event site or subscription that you love? My daughter is 9 and I am looking for something very kid friendly with news and maybe some fun stuff too. 😀

Looks great! Similar to our schedule this upcoming year. =)

What is your favorite bible curriculum for a 2nd-3rd grader??

Thanks for sharing this! What a great list!

We love Christian Light Education (CLE), it is advanced and wonderful! I truly believe that it is the best L/A and Math curriculum there is. Of course not all children have the same learning style, but this is best for mine. CLE used the spiral approach and it is fairly inexpensive. Take note that it is put out by the Mennonite community and is rich with biblical references. You can find reviews here: HomeSchoolReviews.com Just search Christian Light Education.

I have the opportunity to purchase this used fairly cheap. I have a few questions. I have a second grader I would like to use this with. It says this is 3rd - 5 th grade level. Is this something that could easily be spread out over a couple of years? Any other advice would be great!!! Oh and my second question....Is $40 a good price used for the lesson plans and the DVD's, but not including the student handouts? Is there anything else that I would need?

Oops! Double post.

Thank you Empress Bee!!! I think this might be exactly what I am looking for! I just ordered it. =)

I am looking for stand alone writing curriculum for 2nd - 3rd grade level. We tried WWE and it just didn't work for us. Do you have a favorite?

Oops! I meant to put it there. Thank you!

Oops!

How do you use your review cards? Looking for ideas to use these to keep what we have learned fresh in our minds. =)

WOW!!!! You guys are all so awesome! I have got a great list going! Thanks so much!

I am compiling a list of readers for her to read by herself. She is reading books like Frog and Toad together and she is just getting started on Magic Treehouse books. I need some suggestions around this level. =) Please help!!

I would start with a copy of What Your Fifth Grader Needs to Know by Ed Hirsch. To give you some guidance of what fifth grade looks like.

I am not sure why my post above has a line through it?? Weird!

Have you looked at EP?? http://allinonehomeschool.com/

I have already tried AAS. We liked it, but it was just too much work (for me that is). My dd actually likes workbooks. I am headed to the FPEA convention in a week. I would like to have a few ideas of what to look at. Did you love a spelling program other than AAS??

This will be my 3rd year at FPEA. I LOVE it!!! I enjoy many of the classes, the environment of being around so many other homeschool families, and having some momma time with my friends, but most of all..........the curriculum hall!!!! I just love taking my time and browsing through everything. I would go online and decide on which classes you would like to attend, but be sure to save plenty of time to make your way through the curriculum hall, it is HUGE!!!!

I cannot find WWE for Kindle?? Can someone add a link here please? =)

Here is a page from Pinterest with tons of schedules. http://pinterest.com/angie76/cleaning-schedules/

Here is a great cleaning schedule I printed out off of Pinterest a while ago. I tweak it a bit. This helps me to stay accountable. There are many lists on Pinterest. =) http://pinterest.com/pin/209135976416822319/ HTH, Kristen

I have been thinking about this for a while. I belong to a support group that is very small and meets once a month. I would love to see this grow. I would love to hear about other groups and how they are organized. =) I am editing to specify that I mean a homeschool MOM's group. We do belong to a wonderful co-op. I am looking for ideas for moms to get together without the kiddos maybe once or twice a month in the evenings, you know just to get out and fellowship and learn from each other. I figured there had to be other groups like this out there somewhere.
