  1. I am considering using Bookshark next year for 1st grade. I will be using the complete curriculum with Horizon's for math (currently using Horizon's for K and it she loves it). Wanting to hear others opinions both good and bad.
  2. We sold a car once and cancelled the insurance on it. They suspended my hubby's drivers license because we didn't turn in the license plates. They sent us a letter (that we didn't get) telling us that if we didn't have proof of insurance they would suspend. That was in Virginia in 1999. It took us a while to straighten it out.
  3. I would definitely check out the tanger outlet mall. They have a Columbia, North Face, Timberland, and a ton of other outlets.
  4. We have a daschund named Bo Logna we call her Logna; her parents names are Oscar and Maya. My son has a black lab named Gomae.
  5. Thanks for all the advice. I greatly appreciate it.
  6. My 5 year old is beginning to write. She begins all of her letters and numbers at the bottom of the line instead of in the appropriate format. I'm not sure what to do. When I try to correct her she says doing it the correct way "doesn't feel right" or "I can't do it that way" Any suggestions on a handwriting curriculum that might help me to correct this so that she has appropriate penmanship. "I do not like the appearance of handwriting without tears.)
  7. I know what you mean. My insurance paid 100% for my mammography but paid zero for the diagnostic portion. And when I had my gall bladder removed it was considered "elective surgery" because it wasn't "immediately life threatening."
  8. When her dance teacher asked her what her full name was so she could put it on her dance costume bags my 5 year old said Brycie Boo Boo (her nickname) after she repeated it to the teacher several times they asked me if her last name was Bubu or Ebubu. When I told them Williams they and she looked confused. Apparently we had never told her what her real name was..oops
  9. Sammish we will be using it for kindergarten. We will be using other aspects of the curriculum just not the language arts or science(I have designed my own unit studies for this year)
  10. I am torn between these two options. We would be using it mainly for history. I have always been drawn to Sonlight but after doing some research I discovered BYL and am kind of torn between the two mainly due to cost. I can afford either but I am a "thrifty" I want to see what others experience with either of these programs has been to help be make a more informed decision.
  11. The program I am in is a hybrid program. Mainly online but have to go to campus a couple of times a semester for 2-3 days at a time. The campus is about 2 hours from my home so these will be overnight trips. I am trying to come up with a rough schedule for laundry and cleaning. I know that the house is not going to be immaculate but I am hoping for presentable. I will have some help but not as much as I would like.
  12. I have been accepted into grad school and was wondering if anyone else has done grad school full-time and homeschooled a kindergartener while working part-time? I have a good support system but am worried about the amount of time each will take. I know my workload will be heavy and hers will be light (we are going to concentrate on reading and math with science and history thrown in on occasion.) I will be working 1-2 days a week (12 hr shifts.) Can this be done?
  13. I spend close to $2000 but that includes dance and tumbling classes. If she didn't do those it would be $250-300. We have a really good homeschool bookstore in our area and I can get like new books for a fraction of the cost.
  14. Math- Horizons K Phonics- ETC and Bob Books Health- Horizons Science- Nature study History- SOTW Art History- I found one online and printed it but can't remember the website it was divided by grade level and looked like something she would like to learn. Extra curricular- Dance, tumbling, and piano lessons. Still undecided about handwriting, but I am leaning toward Zaner Bloser
  15. We have a Bryce Nichole and a Jasper Benjamin.
