Thanks Lori! She has read all of those except for the last book. It’s good to know that some of Agatha Christie’s books are similar.

Hi! Does anyone know of books similar to the Westing Game? Thanks!

Rachel Leigh Cook? Danielle Harris?

Well, I don't know about a list, but I can tell you that we started FLL and WWE when they were capable. FLL 1 was done orally and generally done around 5 yo. WWE was done in first grade. Sometimes orally - just depended on the kid and time. I skipped the copywork (and if there was dictation) suggested in FLL because there was a lot of copywork in WWE. We didn't do OPGTR. For readers at that age I used the following: American Language Readers Set Nora Gaydos books (may be out of print) You read to me, then I'll read to you series Elephant and Piggie series tons of stuff from the library Hth!

Oh, I'm so sorry. Praying for his safety and that he comes home soon.

My daughter’s friend was sick for about a week. Then it came back a week later - worse. She had to go on antibiotics. during this second round she was sick, her younger sister got sick. She was sick with a horrible cough/congestion for at least 2 weeks. then their younger brother got sick. Was in the hospital with flu complications for five days. so, my best guess is two weeks. Hope he feels better.

I went to the mall yesterday and I did notice more people wearing a mask than say when I was there in the same spot in early November.

It took me a week to get adjusted. I hope it goes well for you.

I'm so sorry. What you said was beautiful. I'm glad you guys made up. Take some time off for yourself. Sending hugs.

Wow! That’s pretty neat! Thanks for sharing!

The more the merrier! Especially with siblings! I always bought in bulk. 😂

I’m so sorry. I hope she is ok.

Thanks! No, I’m not following the other thread. It does make sense. Because the flu complications in the 6 yo who was hospitalized is not vaccinated against covid and his family doesn’t wear a mask. I suspected that family got covid last winter too. however, I know a 10 yo who go the flu vaccine and covid vaccine and the flu hit her hard, but was not hospitalized.

Does anyone know if there is a rise in flu complications for ages 5-10 yo? Someone told me that the flu is leading to pneumonia in that age range. Which is different from the flu in years past.

I can only answer your first set of questions. I had the same symptoms. Low grade fever, little bit of body ache and sore arm. dh had same symptoms. None. Lucky duck. Ds had same symptoms- same as mine older Dd had different symptoms. She had a low grade fever this time. But no congestion younger dd had no symptoms which she had mild symptoms the first time around

Athena’s advanced academy has a great philosophy class. My son loved it. You can take it in any order. hth

I’m sure there are board games as well.

I have books from the critical thinking company. Mindbenders, balance benders, building thinking skills and practical critical thinking books to name a few. also, there’s logic to orbit series that I buy from Amazon. hth!

Pretty much everything mentioned above. I hope you don't get sick!

We are Christians too and believe in studying both sides too. Real science odyssey middle school biology (or is it called life science?) has a unit of evolution in it. plenty of biology for middle schoolers classes on outschool will have evolution. Now that I think about it, there’s a class solely on evolution via outschool. Benjamin Corey I think is his name. I heard good things about this teacher, but my daughter (Christian) couldn’t finish the course. Hth

I would quarantine him and wait. It is to my understanding the booster is not effective immediately. At least the first one wasn't. I hope he feels better and everything works out.

My kids used magnatiles. They loved them!

1. How many kids did you want before you had them? 6 2. How many do you have? 3 3. Are you happy with that number? Yes (Not quite sure I can handle anymore!) 4. Do you have any kids that are just like you? Yes 5. How many siblings do you have? none 6. What's your birth order? Only child

Thanks!

We have been getting some reports from this thread. I’m going to lock it as the question has been asked and answered many times over.
