Kindergartener: difference between b and d
mama2girls replied to Garga's topic in K-8 Curriculum Board
My daughter struggled with this, what finally helped was asking if the back (b) or the doughnut (d) came first on the letter. I read that somewhere on these forums and it really worked for us. HTH :001_smile: -
Most of the local schools in my area offer night time options, I am not sure about weekend option. I don't know if this will help or not but for planning purposes nursing school (at least the program I attended and the other local schools are set up the same) took at least 16hours per week. Four hours of lecture, two hours in the skills labs, two hours of pre clinical and eight hours of clinical. This was not including any other classes or study time. It's tough but I agree with other posters that it is very worthwhile in the long run.:001_smile:

Thank you all so much for your replies! It sounds like adding some preschool math and handwriting will round out what I already have planned. I am so excited for this coming year!:001_smile:

BIG, FAT, GIANT rant about...
mama2girls replied to Heather in Neverland's topic in General Education Discussion Board
:grouphug: -
DD1 will be 4 this summer. We have done B4FIAR this year and enjoyed it. I am planning to start FIAR this fall but I am wondering what to add, if anything. DD knows all her letters/sounds and it starting to read CVC words. We have been using HOP and plan to continue using that but I'm wondering if I should add something like EB math or handwriting. Any advice would be appreciated. TIA:001_smile:

Good Self Reliant/Preparedness books?
mama2girls replied to KidsHappen's topic in General Education Discussion Board
What a great list! I will be checking these out. I also really enjoyed Made from Scratch by Woginrich. It's sort of a biography/how to of young woman creating a more self reliant lifestyle. She discusses canning, chickens, beekeeping, etc.:001_smile: -
Do you wear gloves when you garden?
mama2girls replied to a topic in General Education Discussion Board
I try to remember to wear them but usually forget.:001_smile: -
I never get up with DH when he leaves for work (he is usually up at 5am). I get up around 7:30am because that is what time the baby gets up.:tongue_smilie: We do try to go to bed at the same time (usually 10:30-11pm). I would like to get up around 6:30am because I find my day is much more productive but I seem to just hit the snooze button.:001_huh:

What is happening in your gardens?
mama2girls replied to Tracy in Ky's topic in General Education Discussion Board
We've started our indoor seedlings but won't transplant until April. We have carrots, broccoli, eggplants and sunflowers right now, we'll plant tomatoes at some point.:001_smile: -
I have felt the same way about B4FIAR and was pretty frustrated, but recently I found the website homeschoolshare.com. It is dedicated to FIAR and unit studies and has ideas for each book. It has been very helpful for me to "beef up" what the guide suggests. HTH:001_smile:

How can I find bloggers who are teaching K or 1st?
mama2girls replied to Melenie's topic in K-8 Curriculum Board
This is a great thread, I love reading about ideas for Kindergarden and 1st. We are only in PreK now, but I LOVE to plan ahead!:001_smile: -
What are some good careers....
mama2girls replied to Pamela H in Texas's topic in General Education Discussion Board
I agree with RN, I am an RN and work at a hospital under their "Flex" option, this means I don't get benefits (DH carries our benefits) but I can still participate in the retirement plan and make about double my old hourly wage when I was a regular employee. I have an associates degree and the nice thing about it is after completing half of the program I was able to sit for my LPN boards and work as an LPN while finishing the RN program. Good Luck and HTH!:001_smile: -
Do you have a favorite Speed Cleaning book?
mama2girls replied to Jane's topic in General Education Discussion Board
I really like the FlyLady's book and her website. I've found her ideas really easy to implement and they just seem to make sense to me. HTH:001_smile: -
Do your dh or dw's read as much as you do?
mama2girls replied to newbie's topic in General Education Discussion Board
DH does not read as much as I do, he maybe reads 4-5 per year. Sometimes all of my stacks of books drives him a little crazy.:tongue_smilie: -
Furniture Question
mama2girls replied to Trivium Academy's topic in General Education Discussion Board
We try to buy quality whenever possible.:001_smile: -
At two we did lots of story/picture books, play-doh, art, and nature walks. At three we have started Before Five In A Row and we love it! HTH

I'm interested in this also. We are using BFIAR now and I've been researching ideas for next year.
