Lovedtodeath Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Doesn't FIAR provide the ideas?:confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marla Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Have you checked out the Five in a Row Forum? They are a FANTASTIC group. You'll find all the ideas and support you need as a FIAR user. http://www.fiarhq.com/~gbprnhrz/forum/index.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisak Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 :iagree:We used FIAR for three years and I loved the FIAR forum as well as homeschoolshare. Occasionally I used Enchanted Learning. With all three resources and my FIAR volume, I was set with many ideas for my daughter. I did purchase one digital download from FIAR. It was nice, but homeschoolshare is just as good. Enjoy! We loved Madaline and still do. Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue G in PA Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 I second joining the FIAR forums...awesome bunch of ladies there. Great ideas, wonderful support. And homeschoolshare has a wealth of great ideas for each book. Just don't get bogged down with all the "extras" b/c the manual has a lot to do already, kwim? You'll find yourself getting burned out before you even start. Start simple and then build up. Choose the activities from the manual you really find interesting and go from there. Happy rowing...we are starting with Mike Mulligan b/c ds loves that book! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlgbug Posted September 6, 2009 Author Share Posted September 6, 2009 yeah i signed up for the forums but still cant access them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue G in PA Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 You will get an email shortly welcoming you to the group (I think that's how it works). Shouldn't be long. Welcome to the boards! Lots of us are over there, too. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasha Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 IIRC the moderators have to okay your membership before you can have full access/post in the forums. Since it's a holiday weekend they might not be around. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satori Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 (edited) There's also a new FIAR-Friendship Yahoo group (I hate Yahoo groups, much prefer forums though). http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FIAR-Friendship/ I just updated my blog to show our FIAR rowings. Here's Madeline: http://satorismiles.com/category/fiar/fiar-books/rowing-madeline/ I spend hours surfing/googling blogs/sites to get creative ideas, and try to come up with my own now. I find all the best FIAR blogs and get some great ideas! Ditto the FIAR forums, but there is also homeschoolshare for free FIAR lapbook stuff: http://www.homeschoolshare.com/resourcesmadeline.php This site is also awesome to get ideas: http://www.thehomeschoolmom.com/schoolroom/fiar/madeline.php Have fun!

mom2koh Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 We just did Madeline this week. I rowed it to see if dd would like the program. Lots of culture studies!!! We learned lots about France and where it is. Another fun thing we are doing is coloring maps of all the countries in the books we read this year (liked Madeline so much that we will keep rowing). ;) DD also learned to say hello in french. But, I totally agree with the pp in that the FIAR forums are a wonderful place. There're even archived sections of activities for each book. Homeschool share is fantastic as well. Good luck and don't stress the manual and book do wonders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacia Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 I think you definitely need to start the week with croissants or baguettes & hot chocolate for breakfast with some French music playing in the background. The other posters have already mentioned lots of great resources. Have fun rowing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
