brought me some good quality timers many years ago with strong strings (to put around my neck) and magnets, which were very handy for file cabinets/refrigerators etc. has anyone seen these? And if so, do you know where to get them? (I no longer have contact with my friend from Canada)

Art Curriculum-Instruction not Appreciation
motherdear replied to whitestavern's topic in K-8 Curriculum Board
phenomenal. It's a little book that will methodically teach your children to draw 3D pictures. It's been a no-tears book in our home for years! Timberdoodle sells it for $7 or $8. The price is right for this treasure! -

My son was diagnosed with the "smattering" of Aspergers 3 years ago, at age 9. For many years I kind of thought something was wrong, but being one of those who doesn't believe in labels, I put it off. It was at a speech therapy evaluation (he has a stuttering problem), that a therapist brought to my attention the possibility that he may have an autism-related disorder. I took him to his pediatrician with a list of ANY even questionable behaviors he displayed-to name a few: speaks loudly, must always be in charge, doesn’t seems to notice his pants are halfway down his rear-end, inability to take polite hints or facial expressions, starts talking about unrelated topics during discussions, has “young†interests for his age. The list even included things that could very well have been personality quirps, but the list included every possible behavior hubby and I (and input from friends) could think of. My pediatrician sat with me (he’s wonderful) as I read my list of concerns (with teary eyes). He gave me a referral to a Boston neurologist whom gave us the “official†diagnosis. It was very hard to hear that label, but it does not change that sweet loveable, helpful child we were blessed with; and we have become aware of effective ways to help our son. Anyways, to answer your concern, be sure you get a doctor who will give you every bit of TIME you need and make your list COMPLETE, getting input from others who have contact with your son, even if you’re not quite sure if the behavior is Asperger related. A good neurologist knows what to ask to make his determinations. Also, be sure to get support group names, organizations which may be of help to you, titles of resource materials, websites—whatever he can offer! I hope this helps! God bless! MJ BTW- Did you know Bill Gates has Aspergers?

Can you compare LLATL with Total Lang. Plus?
motherdear replied to Love2Smile's topic in K-8 Curriculum Board
I love and use both programs, so I feel qualified to answer this question. Progeny Press has very thorough study guides, complete with vocabulary exercises, comprehension questions, Christian character examinations, and digging deeper into the lessons learned in a given novel. At the high school level, 4 Progeny Press books/guides is equivalent to a high school credit. Total Language Plus has that plus more. It includes spelling, vocabulary, grammar, and even some writing! If you use 4 of their guides in one year, it is also considered a complete English course. I use both from time to time for a little variety, and I integrate the books into my history program. This coming year my plan is to use The Bronze Bow and Adam of the Road. I hope this helps! -

I believe, if you look at the ad in its entirety, there is a bit more to it. -
