I was confused too. At the back of the Sarah Whitcher story the author's note said that she was a real person and really did get lost in the woods as a small child. The account of everything that happened to her while she was lost was embellished.

My kids insist on having a Bible reading at breakfast every morning, so when we finish one in the guide we just pick up another children's bible and start all over from the beginning again.

Hello ladies. It has been a while since I posted, but I have a little update on some of our Beyond science activities.

Hello ladies, First, let me say that Julie, I pray that your sweet boy is healed soon. I haven't been around much because I have been experiencing quite a bit of morning sickness. Quite by surprise, I am being blessed with a twin pregnancy (at age 39 when I thought I was done having children). :shoc...

We're in Beyond, and dd5 asks daily whether there will be a science experiment. She loves the hands-on science. Since we're going half speed at the moment, it seems like forever before she gets to the next one!

It really depends on what you yourself can manage. From what you've described, it still sounds like you will have plenty of time for free play. You have three days of extracurricular activities per week; and of those, two of them are only for an hour. That sounds manageable to me, but if you start t...

My younger did it at 2 with her older sister, who was then 4. She had fun, but didn't retain it (and I didn't expect her to) so we're going to do it again in a few months when she turns 4!

My kids are up at 6 every morning and we still don't get started until 9! So now I feel guilty! I am impressed that you are on the ball while I am drinking coffee and reading email.

Oh yes, they loved the blubber activity. The shortening didn't come all the way off right away either, so then they got to enjoy smooth, moisturized skin.

Our first week, Beyond for 1st Grade! We're starting half speed and enjoying it. First Day: http://www.broomandcrown.com/2012/09/our-first-day-of-school.html Weekly wrap up: http://www.broomandcrown.com/2012/09/weekly-wrap-up-our-first-week.html http://i1266.photobucket.com/albums/jj521/sonoramama/t...

This thread is really funny. I agree with the post about homeschooled kids not standing in lines. We had a field trip to the art museum last year. All the school kids were in straight lines and quiet. The homeschool kids and their parents, little brothers and sisters, and sometimes grandmas and gran...

We are going to start half speed with Beyond. MWF-MW to complete a Unit (math and reading will be daily). We will not be doing school on Tuesdays because of a bible study that will eat up 4 hours of our day, including travel to and from, and I didn't like having that extra day carrying over to the n...

Good luck! We're starting Beyond today (if my daughter will ever finish getting her morning resonsibilities done)

Hi there! Starting Beyond after Labor Day, and will start LHTH with my younger after we hit our 1st grade groove.

I'll have a 1st day surprise for them (pencil box and candies) and their picture; and we'll go out to lunch (IHOP probably, their favorite) after.

Awwww that is so sweet!
