So sorry for your loss Kathryn. Pls try and rest and take care of our self.

I will say lasagna too of just pasta bake. The trick for me is to make lots of side dishes so people can eat what they want but small enough so there is little left over.

Thanks for the heads up. Praying it is mild

We study geography year round but just once a week. My kids first learn about the continents, oceans and where they are. Last yr, we did American history so my dd1 learnt about the 50 states and can roughly place over 35 states correctly. This year, my oldest two learnt about where some countries are- mostly the ones they are likely to hear about and where we have relatives around the world. On Monday, I will be testing them by giving them a blank map of the world and see how well they can label it.

That will be cool to do with a co-op thanks

I don't think I will combine. 1st and 2nd can be combined well but an 8th grader just needs so much more to be ready for high school. I will do ancients with the longer ones, if you get the activity guide, their are tons of things to do for hat age group.

I don't think it is also true to assume that all homeschoolers are academically more advanced than their schooled peers. Not all are and some teachers bias against homeschoolers is more because they have had kids that were educationally behind because they were homeschooled. I wouldn't think my kids when they get there will want to join but it's still a while for them .

Thanks

Praying Rougcollie

That was quite a list. Thanks so much

I guess they will get a lot of traffic

Hope he is treated soon and feels better. Hugs to you both

I think I will extend grace. When I start a new program it usually takes about a month before all the dates and time click into lace. You may want to just send a text the day before confirming your times.

Wow thanks for posting that. What a life

I was going to suggest the guernsey literary and potato peel pie society. Really good

I think the best way is to address the issue head on with the coach explaining what you are doing etc. you really do not owe the coach any explanation but it does open things up so it is not as if you are doing anything wrong.

I just finished reading the book "what Alice forgot" and the same thing happened. The mom married the FIL But not to derail,hugs to you

I don't know what area of goergia the OP's cousin is. But here just north of Atlanta, drug use and alcohol use is rampant among the teens. There has been numerous reports of parents buying their teens alcohol at their parties etc. it is really bad. I have heard of homeschool kids smoking and the parents not being aware of it. Homeschooling or not does shelter kids from influences. Unfortunately, even vigilant attentive parents sometimes miss the clues so it is really hard. I just pray my kids don't fall prey to it. I can't chain them to myside 24/7.

That is one smart girl. At least it means she is not badly hurt

They look nice but it will be nice to see if someone has used it and can give a review.

That is so cool. Hope you get to use it with the other kids. Mine are not old enough to appreciate it yet.

Wow. That must be hard dealing with. At least your Dh her brother knows she is a flake. Hope your kids were able to get some lunch

Praying for you and your dd. hope you are ale to get better help for her with the docs

That is quite commendable. Very good work

Like everyone else has said, I think you did quite well for first year. Most people take the first year to decompress after PS but you were able to achieve so much more. You need to reevaluate your goals and keep in mind where you are starting from. Your son had zero knowledge of world history and has now almost finished 2 cycles in one year. Success. I think you did a good job and you just need to make sure your goals align with what you need to accomplish not always what you hope to accomplish.
