+1 to picture books. There are a lot of great picture books out there with engaging stories and high vocab. Through searching old threads I found stories from William Steig and Bill Peet. I've started using Goodreads.com to log his books and they have great suggestions for the next ones. Some libraries even have sections for picture books for older readers. My 6 year old hasn't graduated to chapter books yet, but finally picked up a magic tree house that had an intriguing title. Woo hoo. The chapters are super short. I also go through the easy reader section at my library to find the level 4s. Sent from my U9200 using Tapatalk

Looking for some recommendations for indoor trampolines for my boys who are 3 and 6. Preferably fold down handle but willing to have permanent upright I've if the quality is superior. Also would prefer under $100 if possible. I've been looking at the little tykes, but I heard that it gets wiggly after awhile. There's a few more at Toys 'R' Us (I can't remember the brand) but they were bungee, as opposed to spring. Anyone have a comparison of the two? I've heard bungee can be hard to put together.

If you sign up for The Read Aloud Revival's Book list they have a list of the best Librivox recordings at the bottom of the audiobook list. :) We are just beginning to dabble in Librivox; so far we've been enjoying Wind in the Willows recorded by Mark F. Smith. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I had a classmate at York university in Toronto from Rochester. They have the Schulich school for business which is pretty well known. Back in 2004 tuition was 13,000 CAD for international students. I'm sure the cost has risen a little. There are some nice dorms, and some dorm buildings are all single rooms, but all non first years get single rooms anyway. Sent from my U9200 using Tapatalk

I'd google the NAFTA trades/professions. I'm sure professors are on there. They can get a special work visa for Canada. I know people who did that from canada who went to the states. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

+1 on BFSU It takes a bit of planning, but what you were describing with supplementing other programs takes just add much time. Sent from my U9200 using Tapatalk

Sigh, I just wrote a long post, but lost it! Here we go Again... My nearly 6 year old and I are really enjoying the Children Desiring God series of books. Right now we are using God's Promises. After each chapter, there are around three activities. For example, the first chapter tells you that God's promises are like gifts. You are asked to write down as many biblical promises as you can (ie God promised Abram a son, God's promised land, John 3:16, etc). You put them in a box and wrap it with wrapping paper. You are encouraged to give it to someone (he chose Dh) and as they unwrap you tell them what you've learned: That good promises are like gifts, that we don't deserve them, but he gives them to us anyway. I can't say enough good things about this series. We already cover the Bible chronologically with Tapestry of Grace, so this series allowed us to cover different theological ideas topically in ways I wouldn't have thought on my own. ETA: Edited for general typos... Also.... Since we are no longer in Bible times in our TOG studies, I also read aloud daily from one of our children's Bibles. I just don't create a lesson around it. These series of books cover various Bible stories as they are relevant to the lesson. Eg. God keeps his promises - Talks about Abram and Sarai and His promise of a child, and the nation that is to come from him. God kept his promise! Trusting God's Promises- Talks about Zechariah and his reaction to the promise given to him compared to Abram trusting in God's promise of Genesis 12:1-2. Talks about Hebrews 11. Faith is trusting God will make good on his promises. God's promises for unbelievers- The rich man and Lazarus from Luke 16 to introduce the realities of hell and what the Bible says will happen to those who don't love God. Also discusses Psalm 1:5-6 These are all connections I would never make on my own. I'm learning right along with him. Sent from my U9200 using Tapatalk

We've just added morning walks this September. No matter how "late" we are running, I make a point to get out. Sometimes a quick walk, sometimes a walk to the nearby park, or creek. It's really made the days more enjoyable, and I feel less guilty for time we stay inside doing school work. Sent from my U9200 using Tapatalk
