Hi Annaz, I use BJU Math and just wanted to let you know of a little tip that helped us with the change over from workbook to text book. BJU publishes a supplemental workbook (several actually) for each Math grade in the elementary years. I purchased the Spring into Action book for my dd to use (sh...

Julie & Kelly, Thank you again for your sweet words of encouragement and your prayers. I'm doing much better today and the sun IS shining! :D Julie, I can't imagine having to do all this work alone. You are certainly a brave woman! Maybe it's hormones, but at 46 I just have meltdown in these situati...

Hi Julie! Thank you SO much!! I really appreciate the prayers. I was just so overwhelmed yesterday plus the jet lag with sleep-lessness when you change time zones (6 hour time difference) just does one in. I really have to be careful with my sleep habits as disruption of any kind brings on migraines...

Hi Ladies, Please excuse my asking for prayers again as I have not been able to contribute much on the board much lately. My family and I just returned from my husband's 7 week business trip to Hawaii yesterday (remember the Tsunami prayer request?). We live in RI where we have major flooding going ...

We also are doing both CTC and Bigger Hearts this year. Because my older child is such a great reader, I'm just letting her read her "read-alouds" alone and we read the Bigger storytime books and extension books out loud with my 3rd grader. Though she is not required to, my older dd (6th grader) lo...

Hi Carrie, Thanks so much for taking time out to answer. Like I mentioned I was just curious and I haven't read either one yet. I'm so sorry to hear your family has been so sick! I'm not on the boards as much this year due to my own health related issues (yes, continuing migraine headaches), so I'm...

Just bumping so Carrie can see this....

Hi Carrie, I am just getting a chance to take a closer look through your wonderful book choices for RTR. I am so excited about all these great books you've selected! I am just curious why you chose to use the Sower Series biography of Isaac Newton over the Joyce McPherson book, Ocean of Truth. I se...

Bumping up for update...

Hello Fellow Hodies! My family and I are in Hawaii (tagging along on hubby's business trip). Anyway, Due to the Earthquake in Chile early this morning we are in Tsunami Warning. It is due to hit here at 4 pm Eastern time (11:20a.m Hawaii Standard time). Please pray for us and all others here, and e...

Hi Carrie, Thanks for the update! I'll show these to hubby and see which will work best for us. Sure wish you would consider coming to Hawaii with us.... :D We may see you in Cincinnati this year if it works out with our schedule. We don't get back from Hawaii until March 31 and that return trip rea...

Hi Julie,
I'm glad you found something to help with those Extension readings!
Take care,

Hi Carrie, I was just wondering if you have your convention schedule yet. Travel for us will be limited this year, but I really missed seeing you and looking through your display last year, so I'd like to hit a homeschool convention that you plan to attend. We'll be in Hawaii again this winter for 7...

Hi, I just wanted to add a quick note to this topic, since I too often "forget" those extension readers in the appendix. I've added the titles to the correct Units on my weekly materials list that I've typed up for the guides we are using, but I do not take time to plug the actual reading schedule o...
