Re: picture of DITHOR kickoff project

Thank you so much, Carrie! It was very hard to pick just one project. :mrgreen: I am sure there will be times when several projects are chosen. :mrgreen: We read "Toliver's Secret" years ago, and it still is one of his favorites...his favorite list is really long though, and gets longer each year. :...

Re: Week in Review Feb. 20-24

I've enjoyed reading all the Week in Reviews. I'm not sure if I'll get one posted this week. It was a very stressful week (because of an outside family member). We finished half a unit with Preparing, and I didn't get to do any Beyond School this week. I tried to do just the basics. Thursday was th...

Re: oil pastels instead of watercolor (CTC)

Thank you all so much! I actually meant oil paints. It sounds like it would be best if I went with watercolors though. I am sure I could use the brushes, and maybe the canvases. Then I would only need to buy the watercolors. Again, thank you all for your help!

My son was begging me since yesterday evening to start CTC today (we are starting Monday). This morning I decided we could do the kickoff activity and pre-reading activities for DITHOR.

oil pastels instead of watercolor (CTC)

I am a single mom, so I definitely need to be very watchful of my money. Though my son's education is very important (as I know you all feel the same), so I do put that up on my top priority list. I am wondering if I could save some money with the art supplies that are needed. I have oil pastels, br...

Re: Testing soon....need advice

We must show proof of advancement. We have used Seton's testing booklets since 2005. Both the state of VA and OH approve of these tests. My son actually enjoys taking the standardized tests. These are just like the tests I had when I was in school. I went to a public school, I highly ranked public s...

Re: Week in Review Feb. 20-24

Julie, I really enjoyed reading about your boys' homeschooling week. It sounds and looks like they had such an enjoyable week, filled with lots of learning. I am looking forward to next week when I can start posting in the weekly check-in. By the way. I also was thinking Wyatt looked so grown-up. Th...

Re: ? about LHTH

Thank you so much, Heidi and Julie! I just bought my son's program, so I will have to wait a couple/few months to order, but I feel the DC will love it.
