Re: Math 1B page 87 help

Thank You!!

I know in 1A we had to place 4 triangles on shapes but not just 2 lines ... they threw us way off with that one.

Thanks again!

Re: Daughter jealous of friends

Hope you have found a way to curtail the pleads ...I'll let you know that since we started even learning the abc song and our numbers and colors that I've always dropped phrases about school like how it's a long day, they only get 2 short recesses, and yet with learning at home we can have fun learn...

Re: Preparing...10yo & spelling

I thought at a young age Miss Mason recommends not correcting those right away and later that week you can use that for grammar practice, correcting the mistakes? Maybe a dictionary on hand?

Re: IS ANYONE FAMILIAR WITH CLICK'N READ PHONICS?

We bought an access to clicknkids a few years ago ... it's good when you need to mix things up...but for my son he can't do phonics everyday on the computer, he starts complaining of wrist pain from so much mouse usage.

Re: Week in Review 8.15.08

I'm not too chatty this week. We are getting into A Lion to Guard Us though and enjoyed the stair step exercise and the 7 question guess what's in the bag game.

Re: Week In Review 8-1-08

I enjoy reading everyone's week because it's like I'm participating. I forgot to take a picture of "dike" day but DS and his friend's dike wouldn't even keep the water from getting our monopoly houses the first time I poured some in and then our playdough was too soggy to continue using ... oh well ...

Re: Beyond question.......

On the record we're grade 2 and DS turns 7 later this week....but I refer to this for us as Year 1.5 a little past first but not quite ready for second ... at least until all 34 weeks of Beyond are complete.

anxiously awaiting others using Beyond to chime in on the age of their child while using.

One thing you could do would the emerging readers set ... based on your saying she reads pretty well just not independent yet.

Re: OT- Scheduling your life-can you fix mine Hehehe!

I like routines more than a set time schedule since every day is different around here. I like your idea of a wheel chart --very creative! I get lots of ideas from myblessedhome.blogspot.com and flylady ...like I said I can't do the rigid set in stone by the clock thing but a general flow of the day...
