Premature baby in NICU-ideas please
MusicMouseTN replied to Lisa R.'s topic in General Education Discussion Board
My 'little man' was born at 25 weeks, and we spent 7 months in the NICU. My prayers are with this young family. Here are some thoughts: Offer to do laundry, clean house, feed/walk dogs. Anything that needs to be done on a regular basis, but they don't have the time and energy to do now. Call - ask how baby is doing. Ask how parents/grandparents are doing. Listen. And do this over and over and over. She will need a safe place to talk. Like others have said, this is a HUGE roller coaster she is on - and with a baby born this early, it's for a long time. A journal and pen to write down thoughts/progress/ difficulties is helpful. Disposable cameras if they don't have digital. Gum - lots of gum. A blanket for mom and a book or two to read while she sits by her little one. Puzzle books. And I agree - food is always welcome! :) -
Considering adoption/foster care...
MusicMouseTN replied to Verity's topic in General Education Discussion Board
I think a 'foster mama' group is a great idea! Would love that. :) -
I have no idea how to sew. Oh I can put a button back on, and hand stitch a hem if I have to, but beyond that - nothing! My dd really wants to learn to sew, and so do I. My mil gave me a basic sewing machine but I have no idea what to do with it. I think I'd like to give dd some basic sewing stuff for Christmas so we could start the year off learning how to sew together. Thoughts? What do we need? Where do I start? Thanks for your advice. I'm truly clueless about this.

Using WWE as a read-aloud book list?
MusicMouseTN replied to alisoncooks's topic in K-8 Curriculum Board
Is there a list somewhere of the books in wwe1? I bought the textbook with the idea of doing it on my own in the fall. I haven't read the whole thing yet - but I would love some more quality read-alouds that I could start over the summer. Anyone know where I could find a list? -
any Flashpoint fans here?
MusicMouseTN replied to HollyDay's topic in General Education Discussion Board
Love it! Watching it right now on Netflix. -
My dd is doing first grade work in grammar. We are progressing through OPGTR and have begun FLL, and she is doing really well. Is it too early to start a spelling program? What would work best with OPGTR, FLL and WWE (plan on starting that in the fall) - Rod & Staff or AAS? Any thoughts/suggestioins would be appreciated. Thanks!!!!!! :)

Thanks all. :)

There are so many options for a children's dictionary. What do you use? Do SWB or JW recommend a certain one? My dd just turned 6 and we are getting ready to ramp up our English/Language Arts study. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I ordered the digital copies of 'Elemental Science' and 'Elemental History' tonight. I am so excited - but can't access them on my iPad!!! They came in zip files. I was expecting PDF to be able to open in iBooks or notability. But I can't open them - even in Dropbox. Anyone have any suggestions as to how to convert these files to PDF so I can get started reading?

Valentine Exchange?
MusicMouseTN replied to Jennifer3141's topic in General Education Discussion Board
We would love to participate too! We have 2 kiddos too that would participate. Dd - 6 and ds - 3! Thanks!!! -
We are having a 'sports themed' new year's party Tomorrow night, and I need some ideas for games for the adults. We will have about 6-8 couples and their kids here (ages 1-15), and I'm drawing a blank for some fun activities. Want to have some fun group games for us to do. We are a religious group, so no drinking or inappropriate or suggestive behavior - just good clean silly fun! Any ideas? Thanks!!!

What is the best response...(sensitive issue)
MusicMouseTN replied to Ginevra's topic in General Education Discussion Board
Amen!!! Having a child born extremely prematurely, with very severe issues - I never got 'congratulations' on having my first son. Especially from the medical staff. It was always 'I'm sorry'. :( You are so sweet to be concerned for your friend. Congratulations are in order! Be happy. Be excited. Smile! And love on that baby and the momma as you would any new birth! Her child is a blessing - even if it's a different path than was originally planned. God is in control - and this child is a blessing!!!! -
Week 3 started here too! Going great so far!!! :)

Thank you!!!! :)
