ISO a real kick-butt science curriculum
FrogMom5 replied to Tarreymere's topic in K-8 Curriculum Board
Would PLATO science fit the bill? Not sure what grade level you're looking for though. Denise -

What Geometry after Foerster's Algebra?
FrogMom5 replied to Sandragood1's topic in High School and Self-Education Board
We are using Teaching Textbooks. It's not the most rigorous but it does a good enough job in my mind. My ds is heading toward science and math too. Denise -
A 'how to study' book rec for physics
FrogMom5 replied to lllll's topic in High School and Self-Education Board
Thank you for sharing this. I told my son that I had some nice, light summer reading for him. :D Seriously, this material will be very helpful. Denise -
A friend just told me that FL has changed the P.E. requirement to graduate from high school. She said that students now have to meet the P.E. requirements for HOPE - P.E. must be taught by 2 outside teachers and specific requirements must be included. She said it affects current 9th graders. Have any of you heard this? I tried to look it up on the FPEA website but didn't see anything about it there. Is my friend misunderstanding something or is this correct info.? Denise

What's the point of reading scripture if
FrogMom5 replied to Nestof3's topic in General Education Discussion Board
Are you talking about the way you treat others or the way they treat you? If it's the first, reading will help you become more patient and kind. If it's the second one, reading will help you learn to deal with and forgive the people who hurt you. I struggled with patience and still do at times. But slowly, as I read and study, it changes my impatience. Well, I'm also Catholic and the Eucharist changes me too. But, I think reading Scripture, Church Fathers and so forth, really plants seed and leads you (meaning everyone) to a better life. It helps me better handle relationships with some unkind extended family members too. Does any of this help? Or, have I missed the point? I hope you get some answers that help you. :grouphug: Denise -

Catholic moms/ Christian moms...Do you cover?
FrogMom5 replied to Mama2Many4's topic in General Education Discussion Board
No, I don't cover. I might if more people did in my church. I don't like to stand out or call attention to myself and that's what I would feel like. I know, I know, no one is there to look at me but, I still feel like I stand out. For skirts/dresses, I almost always wear one to church. Once in while, I wear slacks. When not in church, I wear pants or shorts(longer shorts b/c I'm older). I don't have a problem w/my dd wearing shorts or shorter skirts - not mini's but above the knee. She's 4 and I think little girls look cute in shorter dresses/skirts. As for my dh, he does not prefer me in dresses. He's indiferrent about the issue. He has said he doesn't want our dd in dowdy clothing or trampy clothing. I have friends who cover only in Mass and one who covers all the time. The one who covers all the time also wears only skirts.

Pregnancy size question
FrogMom5 replied to sunshine_librarian's topic in General Education Discussion Board
My dd measured bigger for her gestational age. The Perinatologist and the OB disagreed on how far along I was. Still, they were only a week or two apart. You said the baby is measuring a month ahead? Could you have conceived and then had a period? Sometimes this happens and makes a woman think she conceived later than she actually did. How big were your other babies? Fwiw, my 1st was 9lbs. 14 oz. at 36 weeks. Dd was 9 lbs., 3 oz. at 35 weeks. Maybe you're just having a really big baby. As long as you and the baby are doing well, maybe it's ok. What does your doctor say? Denise -

FrogMom5 replied to Aubrey's topic in General Education Discussion Board
We found something similar on our windshield after attending a Greek Festival. They were on every car in the parking lot. We threw ours away. I don't want to see one again. Denise- 155 replies

Growing up, we called everything coke. Once I was a teen I learned not to do that b/c people give you a Coke. Now everything is a soda. Denise

A grim reminder, creating awareness out of loss
FrogMom5 replied to elegantlion's topic in General Education Discussion Board
Good idea. Very sad though. Denise -
Diet Coke and once in a while, a regular Coke. I go through phases where I'll want one every day for a few days and then I don't have any for months. Every 6 mo. or so, a rootbeer is nice. Denise

Yes. Black shoes with non-colored hose will look lovely with your suit. Denise -
Catholic Moms/Common Misconceptions?
FrogMom5 replied to WIS0320's topic in General Education Discussion Board
If we could back to the original op for a minute - there's one I hear all the time now that I forgot to say. Catholics are too legalistic. This from the same group of women who pressured another woman to have prayer and bible study time early in the a.m. instead of in the afternoon when her young ones were sleeping. Oh my! As a convert, I have found the Catholic Church no more legalistic than any other Christian Church. Compared to some churches I've been in, they are less so. Just my 2 cents. Sorry, now go back to the CCD and Confirmation discussions as they are of great interest to me. Thanks! Denise -

Purchase home w/violent past (trigger?)
FrogMom5 replied to sbgrace's topic in General Education Discussion Board
No, I couldn't do it. I would think about too much and be either sad or creeped out. Denise
