Oh my, the end of the week is here and I'm empty handed. I can't believe it. I know we worked on things. I know we read about the ship coming from England. I know we worked on a spelling list. Hmmmmm....where did the week go? Ahhhh, now I remember. Spring. Yep, that is where it went. It went to bein...

I would not push the Beyond too soon. There is just so much in that program and the reading gradually becomes longer and more advanced with little to no pictures. I can't imagine my ds who is 5 doing Beyond anytime soon. You would better off starting on the younger end and adding in some of the extr...

Argh! I've tried 3 times to look at it and each time my computer has frozen in time. ugh!!!!!!! But, on a positive note, I found a few of the readers at the used book store and was so happy not only with the budget-saving price, but of the "ooohhhh, this looks soooo good to read, she's going to love...

Well, I've lost track on what unit we are on - I think it is 11 or 12, but what I do know is we are still having fun!!!!!! This week the science project was about how leaves get the water. The first picture I took (I really need to learn to have the kids get their chores done before picture taking) ...

I checked and our library has all but 1 or 2 books from the readers sections from the SL catalog and the Beyond recommendations (although I'm working through those along with whatever else I think he might enjoy when I peruse the shelves) so I think I'll just keep chugging along and use what is work...

Reading Advice for upcoming 3rd grader?
My ds who is 8 (working through Beyond) has really struggled in the reading department. Finally figured out that he learns best for this through listening and HOP has been a miracle for him (my last choice but who knew?). So as I plan the budget for next year's curriculum to submit to the Principal ...

We got a slow start to the week since my dh was off on Monday (the Nationals new stadium opens this weekend so dh is scheduled for the whole weekend) so we took the day off but quickly got started on Tuesday. Here is Friday and I feel like it is Saturday! At any rate, we worked through Unit 11 this ...

Preparing Hearts and Science Ideas from Apologia
My dd who'll be in 7th, is not ready for General Science at Apologia (I'm not even ready for it) but has enjoyed working through Apologia Zoology II this year (we thought we'd give this learning style a go), so I'm thinking that I'd like to do another book from the elementary levels or even 2 to go ...

Raiders in the Sea book - Preparing Hearts
Heads Up! For those of you that are going to do Preparing next year, if you have a son that will be listening to this story, you'll want to go ahead and get the next book in this series - actually my ds read the first one last year and this year requested that I get the rest of the series (4 books t...
