Help me choose Audible book(s) for me (eta: and LibriVox experience ???)
Vernal replied to Pen's topic in The Chat Board
We listen to a lot of classics on LibriVox. The narrator makes all the difference in the enjoyment of the book. Some our favorite are: Karen Savage Kara Shallenberg Mark F Smith -
Over the Februarys, ready for something new
Vernal replied to mellifera33's topic in General Education Discussion Board
I’ve changed things up too. I switched DD to CLE LA from WWE, FLL, and AAS. The bits of everything were driving me crazy. It’s going great so far. I like everything in one place, but I do need to figure out something for writing. MP full cores are my current squirrel... -
My MIL has a bucket with a wringer on it. She got it after she hurt her shoulder. It’s a red bucket with a black round plastic wringer on the side. You just set the regular mop in it and twist a little. I’m sure she got it at Walmart or a dollar store. Those are the only places she shops.

Do those pencil grip thingies really work?
Vernal replied to 4Kiddos's topic in General Education Discussion Board
Streto grips worked for my DS. His PT recommended them. -
I love the Mayari (sp ?). I wear a size 8 - 8.5 normally and the 38 was perfect. My feet are wider and the regular was just the right width. I have the bronze color. Puffy â¤ï¸ Birkenstocks.

I’ve never seen a garbage truck in a parade here in the Deep South. But what a great idea! My DS would love this. I thought his love for garbage trucks was strange when he was younger, but I didn’t realize it was a “thing†for little ones to like garbage trucks. He says Monday is the best day of the week because it’s garbage day.

I’m glad all is well. My DD’s birthday is near the 4th. She thinks the fireworks are all for her 😀 I think you need a D name. Delia, Delaney, Devin, Darcy?

Is there any hope for these blanket covers?-update....
Vernal replied to SparklyUnicorn's topic in The Chat Board
Try putting them out in the sun before you toss them. I would also try a couple of extra rinse cycles also. HTH -
What curriculum are you loving and hating this year?
Vernal replied to mommyoffive's topic in K-8 Curriculum Board
Winners for DS9 and DD8: CLE math + process skills MP Literature NAC 2 - my lefty DS has beautiful cursive handwriting. FLL 3 WWE 3 EM Daily Science â¤ï¸ EM Daily Geography Hit of the year: Art pacs! Both kids love them. Not working/has to go: AAS - I really can't do this anymore. They are ok with it, but I hate it. SOTW 3 - ugh. Everyone dreads it. I need an Evan Moor book for history. 😃 -
I download anything that needs downloading when we are in town 😃 Our library system has VERY few audiobooks available on Overdrive, so that's not really an option. I've considered joining the library system in the nearest larger town, but for the price of joining I could just pay for Audible. The reason I was considering Fires is because I could get two. The iPad sharing goes ok in the car, but sometimes it would be better if they had their own. And I've heard good things about the parental controls.

I'm thinking of getting the kids ages 8 and 9 Kindle fires. We are not Amazon Prime people, though, so I'm wondering if this is the best choice. I have an iPad, but I'm looking to spend less. They use the iPad mainly for YouTube kids and a few apps. We listen to a lot of audiobooks on LibriVox. We do some reading on the kindle app, but not a lot. So what do your kids use their Fire for? Oh and one other point, our internet is unreliable at best. We live pretty rural and don't have a better choice than what we have which is a Verizon mifi with poor service. So no streaming.
