Slache Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 My response to the TTT review: Greek over Latin, yes. Because the Bible is in Greek and that's more important. Beginning Latin before Greek, no. I want time to build up New Testament vocabulary. Hebrew, yes. We will be doing a minor study for deeper biblical understanding in the late logic stage. Gentle early, yes. We did intensive phonics, copywork, math facts and read out loud. Lots of drawing and nature study. We started formal math at 8 though, not 10. "These years are spent memorizing and absorbing facts in preparation for the dialectic or logic stage that’s fast approaching." Yes, but I pulled memory work from context. Apologia, songs of I interest, etc. I have 2 exceptions. 10 Greek words per week and geography. We have cards for every country photo to name, name to photo, capital to country, country to capital and flag to name. I was never going to do THAT in context. I'm not going to comment on the rest because I haven't been there yet. 9 minutes ago, Jean in Newcastle said: Antimatter salad.

Wheres Toto Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 I have three tweens and a teen in my classroom right now. Three of them are making slime, one is watching weird songs on youtube. I gave them supplies - glue, starch, water colors, shaving cream, oorbeez, cups and sticks to stir and I'm leaving them to it. I think I don't want to even look in there until I'm ready to make them clean up. So I'm sitting at my desk in the lobby eating doritos and reading. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

73349 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 (edited) I had the 3rd and have replaced it with the 4th, but I should ILL the 1st sometime. Not that I follow any edition closely: the kid I'm teaching trumps all of other people's wisdom (in parenting as well as homeschooling), so I just use what I can.

Desitin extra strength (which never failed for Oldest back in the day) isn't cutting it for Youngest who rarely rashes. This rash is nothing terrible but it sure is persistent and I want it gone. The best thing I ever used for the hot, red type bottom is liquid antacid like mylanta poured over their bottom, wait a 1/2 minute or so for it to dry a little, and then smother in diaper ointment. The antacid is the key, not a specific brand or type of ointment. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 (edited) I seem to remember the really bad weepy diaper rashes being yeast infections. Someone recommended applying yogurt, but I can't remember if I ever did that. Dd21 got a rash/eczema on the back of her neck from citrus when she was little. It took quite a while for us to figure that one out. We are doing some really nice music for our next concert. A piano concerto by Clara Schumann and Florence Price's 4th Symphony (written in 1945, but was recently discovered in a pile of manuscripts in her former summer home that was about to be gutted and renovated). Imma have to practice that one. Good night! Edited November 1, 2019 by Susan in TN 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Kids had fun trick or treating with friends last night. There was a group of 6 of them that went out. Ds was really happy to finally get to T or T with friends since they never got to before. I was happy because it meant I got to just hang out at the science center. ds did then talk about how he wishes he had more IRL friends. He likes the kids he went with last night but he doesn't see some of them that often. Yet, he's not willing to actually leave the house to do things to make friends, or actually talk to people when we do go out. We're going today to an arcade to meet up with some tween/teens and a couple of them he knows from one of the 4-H clubs. He was saying they aren't friends but how are they going to become friends if he doesn't talk to them and give it a chance? He doesn't seem to make the connection. As an aspie, this is all really hard for him and I feel bad and don't really know how to help except by giving him opportunities to see his friends and be around other people. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
