Good for you too! I think you will really enjoy RTR in the fall. I can't wait to see what is in store for us next year too.

Well, I was also looking for help and maybe a picture! We are trying to figure it out now!

Thanks so much for putting these up. Sometimes I can't visualize what we are supposed to do! This helps so much.

I hope it will ...

I had so much fun buying the supplies for painting to go along with poetry. I guess I need to read some more in the intro to the guide, I did no...

Thanks Ladies,
It helps me to know that they aren't that long. I think that will help out my kiddos.

I am going to be using C to C in the fall and am wondering about the CD "what in the world." I have tried to get my kids to listen to audiobooks time and again and they and up tuning them out, playing, getting loud, etc. :cry: How long are the sections to be listened to? Should I "tag along" listeni...

I used PHFHG this year with my 3rd and 5th grader. I experimented with my 5th grader taking notes. What I found is that part of taking notes is being able to write fast, and he doesn't - yet. Plus trying to get too much info at once. We will continue with his notetaking in the fall and just keep pra...
