ikslo Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I grew up thinking milk was what you were supposed to drink when you eat spicy foods. Is that wrong? Maybe my mother just told me that to get me to drink more milk? Actually, I don't even know if it was my mother who told me that. Huh. Well, I like to drink milk with spicy foods. Sue me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lots of little ducklings Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Another double. I feel like the forum is playing the "copy game" with me. That is so annoying. You cover for it well, though. Nice saves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lots of little ducklings Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 So um... I may or may not be contemplating writing a Greek crriculum for the K-8 crowd based on the classical education model. I can't find anything I like for the kids. I've been looking for 2 years to find the right thing and nothing looks like I want it to. What have you NOT liked? What's missing? (I've not looked at all and have absolutely no advice for you. Just curious.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lots of little ducklings Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I got side tracked by double posts, but I meant to ask if we were having a syllabi writing contest? I missed that. Here's mine: August - start slowly and get everyone used to routine and expectations September - everything goes swimmingly Mid October - panting with tongue hanging out, dropping subjects right and left like foot soldiers dropping paraphernalia on a 20 mile march in July. November - Relieved to have streamlined, but now stressing that demands will be made for participation in various Thanksgiving festivities, and then Christmas. (I could homeschool if I could sub-contract out these darn holidays.) December - Ah, time to go light. I'm justified since I have to do all this darn holiday stuff. January - time to get real again - still plenty of school year left to accomplish goals. February - Well, this year is pathetic. I think I'll start thinking about what I'd like to use next year. March - Thank God we can take spring break April - It's so pretty outside and it's been a long winter. They should do nature study outside. May - Praise the Lord, we're done. But, maybe that's not what you meant by syllabus? :D I'm printing this out and posting it on my fridge. Seriously. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lots of little ducklings Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 Do you have August 10th marked on your calendar? It's cupcake day in memory of The Great Cupcake Kerfluffle of 2012. Also, September 19th is International Talk Like a Pirate Day. If you talk like a pirate, you can get a free donut at Krispy Kreme. If you (or your kids) dress up, you get a free dozen. Very important holiday. Also on my fridge. Seriously. With a note to see if Dunkin Donuts will match Krispy Kreme on that one. (We don't have Krispy here, and if we did I still would pick DDs over it. :D ) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 What have you NOT liked? What's missing? (I've not looked at all and have absolutely no advice for you. Just curious.) Hey Andrew is my top pick. I just feel that if a language is going to be taught as thoroughly as I would like to teach Greek then the first three years or so should focus on Phonics and copy work. I've never seen a Greek program like that. I essentially want a program like First Language Lessons, but for Greek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't even imagine drinking soda with Thai food. LOL But I don't care for soda. I love whole milk. I love heavy cream. I love (unsalted) butter. By itself.

I just drove 40 min. in rush hour traffic to get bunny hay. I think I could drop what I'm doing (currently nothing) to get you milk and soda and epsom salts and Theo organic chocolate.
