Thanks Julie. Those are some very good ideas that I will try! I just have to keep reminding myself that things will work out :) Sometimes I feel bad because I'm afraid its me not explaining it right or something, and I don't want her to fall behind on account of me. It does help to know theres other...

Hi Julie,
My dd age is 6 and we are using Beyond.

I also wanted to say thanks for everyones ideas, nice to know I'm not alone!

Ok...so we are starting on Unit 8 this week. The first few weeks went great, well other than my dd not caring for the writing part, but that passed and she is now ok with that :) What the trouble now is - when we are reading in History, or doing our bible verses, its like shes staring right through ...

Thanks Carrie,
I'm pretty sure I got it figured out. Thanks though!

Ok..never mind ladies, I got it figured out..lol

In Beyond it has to read pgs 64-66. I couldn't find the book with just Morning Bells, so I got the one with Little Pillows and Morning Bells. I guess the page numbers are different, because, it isn't matching up?? Does anyone else have this book and make it work?
Thanks!

Thanks Ladies! We have enjoyed it so much. We've been at it for a week now. So much better than what we were doing before!

Hello everyone. I said I would tell about our first week so here I am. The first two days were kinda different :) I think my dd was waiting for me to spring with all the work we were doing before. The last couple days she has seemed to relax and believe we are trying something new..lol All my kiddos...

Welcome back!

I've been looking at this book for about the last hour, and I have to say I love it already! There's so much fun stuff to do. I really think my kiddos are going to enjoy it. I can't wait to start next week. I'll be sure to write my review!!
Thanks Carrie!

I was wondering the same thing. But in the end I went with just buying the books. I think it will be easier for us, since I have 1 little one and my son is a special needs child, and for me it's not easy taking them everywhere all the time But I do understand the money issue, trust me:)

We do "believe" in Santa at our home. My husband and I agree it's a fun part of growing up. We also agree if our children ever come out and ask if he is real, we would not lie to them. We do stress each year what the true meaning of christmas is. We even have Jesus a b-day party and the kids just lo...

I'll have to get back with you once we get our HOD books and get into it. But what we have been doing is starting school at 9:00am. I've been letting my ds and dd pick which subjects we do 1st, 2nd etc. I've come to find that helped a bit because they got to "pick" what they wanted to do. I'm thinki...

I start school in the mid to end of July and go thru 1st week of June. My son has alot of appointments and I figure those days as off days, so it takes us alittle longer to complete our "school year". I have thought about starting a new year in January instead of July..but I just haven't done it yet...

Hi Julie and thanks for the welcome. I'm hoping the kiddos enjoy it. What we are using now isn't working out to well. I have to say I haven't had my children ask to do school on the weekends, so I think that has to mean something
