Offer is for no iron, I've been buying shirts here for 35 years. But I only get 100% cotton, So I have not worn this shirt.

MEMBERS ONLY.

If you must iron, this will make anything come out looking professionally laundered. http://www.rowenta.com/Linen-Care/Steam-Station/PERFECT-STEAM-DG8520/p/1830004439. I use an older model to do 6 dress shirts a week. No starch and the creases hold all day. It takes a while to heat up, when it is charged, it shoots a 3 ft blast of steam. I don't iron in my undies for fear of what an errant blast would do.

Just look at any 3rd grade SCHOOL grammar textbook. 4th grade LA and beyond shifts to vocab and writing skills.

85% of the grammar rules needed through 8th grade are taught 2-3rd grade.

Mamakelly, why are you correcting a college level paper? Wasn't this editing rule something your son could have easily researched? I would expect my 6th grader to be able find the format.

Agreed, Reading comp testing is an acquired skill. Can't expect a kid to understand the nuances of the comp questions w/o practice. Get past versions of the test you took for same grade, and a grade or two higher... Work together on answering the questions. Talk out loud. go question by question. Let her pick out an answer, ask why, then guide her to why another answer is better. Teach the difference between an inference and conclusion (this is tough because the incorrect conclusion answer has correct facts, but is not an inference) . Teach that fill in the blank is not a vocabulary question, but a reading in context question (the perfect word might not be the best answer) . I started with the 6th grader when he was in 3rd, after a poor test score. took about a year of working with him before he got it (a practice test passage or two per week). Now, he is highest percentiles. Even much older kids don't get read comp testing. I used this method to help a kid with upper level isee. A great increase in percentile with just a few hours dissecting test questions together.

There are plenty of social activities. Sure there is criticism, but none about it not being fun.

Our solution for the 6th grader , all advanced math outside of the school system. he is wrapping up alg 2 with D.O. We will deal with appropriate placement when he reaches H.S., and has a better idea of where he is headed. .

I've been following because my son is in his last year of baby CTY, and is eligible for intensive studies next summer. From our three years at the baby summer camps, the list of the things to bring is way overboard. Bring 5 change of clothing of things that mix/match well. For your age, bring 1 or two dress outfits. From what I gather, the weekly dance is a big deal. Then, regardless, of your child's gender, a discussion of birds and bees. These nerds seem to be trying to get it on with fellow nerds. Try searching CTY and your summer site--- maybe you can find some insight on your site's traditions. For sure, have you child know the lyrics to America Pie. Prepare your child for this shock--there will probably be a few kids in the class who are amazingly smart. The rest of the kids, like my son, are just normal extremely smart.

This is exactly why I do not ask for acceleration for my 6th grader. I do not want him forced to take some extreme calculus in the 11th or 12th grade, just because he completed ab or bc early. i do not want to force him to take such math in h.s. unless I am sure he wants to be a math, engineer or science major. med school, business school, and certainly law school do not require such math.

Its all Greek to me.

My son is finishing the 6th grade at a very competitive nationally ranked middle school. He has weekly extra curric golf and tennis lessons, math circle, geometry class, and alg 2 tutoring to go along with the online alg 2 class. He goes to bed at 9:30. We review schoolwork on Sat. and Sun. morning ( up around 8:30 a.m, done around 10:30a.m) . During the week, he has to start on his school work the moment he walks in. Maybe you need to examine your schedule--are you lugging all the children around until all children finish their outside activities. On the days there are no assigned work, it seems you could anticipate the next work (i.e., if they just completed the first 1/2 of chapter, the 2nd 1/2 is probable coming up. I can't imagine a 5th grader having so much work that he is up so late.

I would like a job geting a little honey several times a week. I would do it for less than $20. Oh, I did not see it involved bees

I think it is age related. Getting an answer out of the soon to be 12 y.o is like pulling hens teeth. But, it is getting better now that he has joined debate team. Now, I tell him to open with a topic sentence that makes sense.

My guess, the tenant is somehow related to the former and most likely deceased owner. A long-term or lifetime lease of only a nominal amount per month is involved . If properly recorded, such a long term lease may be valid and binding. Otherwise, current owner would simply evict tenant to facilitate sale at market price.

I've had good luck getting sunblock stains (basically, rust) out with generic CLR from the dollar stores. Soak in clr for 30-60 minutes. Clothes don't come out sparkling white, but the item isn't stained. Have not tried with genuine CLR--fear it might be too strong.

When I was in professional school, a visiting professor, for unexplained reasons, took off with the finals and never submitted grades. The school entered a "passed" grade for all in the class. A little frustrating because I expected to earn a great letter grade.

My 6th has been with CTY since 2nd grade. If your child is still in 5th--rush and take 5th grade SCAT (must be done before end of school year). If he qualifies, he will be good until end of 6th grade. Then in 6th grade, take the Advanced SCAT. If he qualifies with Adv. SCAT as a 6th grader, he will be good through end of H.S. (or age out). If you wait until 7th, then you will need SAT/ACT. There is a PSAT8/9 option, but that will only work for the on-line classes, and not the summer program. My 6th grader qualified for all things CTY through H.S. with the Advanced SCAT. 7th grade we will start the SAT/ACT journey. Tip for the SCAT verbal portion, Steck-Vaughn, Unlocking Analogies (Middle School), is a great training tool, and then follow with Mindware, Analogy Challenge (Middle School) for SCAT test like materials. ETA: when working with the Mindware book, he did it with an open dictionary. Wanted him to focus on analogies skills, and maybe pick up some vocabulary along the way. The vocab can be challenging.

Many years ago, a law firm got into trouble doing this. They would hire knock outs, and sent them out to bars. Of course, they would get hit on . But , their morals wouldn't let them do it with a married man. They just happened to know a lawyer who could help their new friend. These ladies where hot, and firm's fees were big.

I started reading glasses 3 months into professional school (age 31). Lost so many prescription designer glasses in less than a month. Now, I buy them 10 or 20 at a time at the 99ct store when they have the Foster Grants ( I try to avoid the generic 99ct Store glasses). I lose them, and they break, but I am only out a few bucks.

Why are your teachers even involved? Just do it . Don't ask for special treatment because she already knows it, Then math is just review. Believe math is the cruncher from 6th grade up. if you kid is not spending 1 to 1 1/2 hr per day, on math , there is a tremendous advantage.

I like mine whiz wit

I am wowing that your school is not using textbooks. My son is headed to 7th grade. But, we have been able to this ever since he entered school. A little harder to do with English, because it does tend to change somewhat year to year, and teacher by teacher.

It is end of year open house time at the 6th grader's school. Here is my favorite tip. We visit his classroom, and then drop by the new grade classrooms. I photo the book cover, and bar code for the new soc., math, and science books (these subjects are the least likely to change books). Then track down old used copies of the books (Amazon). They are generally $5-10, Around August, he starts outlining the first two chapters (or about 40 pages) of each book. We supplement his outlines with whatever materials we come across. When school starts, and he is adjusting to new schedule, teachers, friends and activities, he has already covered most of his school work into November. At the Thanksgiving break, he outlines one chapter each, and so on for x-mas break. This system has allowed him time for his athletic/hobby activities.
