I buy because it's jut easier that way for me.

so what are they? Do you draw with them and then use a wet paint brush over them? I am curious. I did that guide but don't remember those. I know I didn't use them, hubby isn't a thrilled on the arts and it's hard to get him to spend money on more than just crayons and colored pencils.

Okay so we finished up the units I was working on with my daugher and son and it's all ready for packing up. I will have at least 6 weeks without the books. I will only get our book only if we are in a house. It can be up to four months until we get a house or we could get one right away. It's the j...

I have one started for my son and I just used a folder and have him draw the pics.

The week before was awsome and this week was a little stressful. I took out some extra work that I used along with the guides and our days have gone much better. My girls enjoy the guides while my son isn't a huge fan of Little Hearts. He does enjoy listening about Reddy Fox and reading his Family T...

the day goes much smoother and quicker. I was adding more to our days then we needed. For this new year I needed to make it a bit more simpler so I did. I am sticking to just the guides with no extras and our days are done byt 1PM. It's awsome. We had a wonderful week though Friday seemed to be bit ...

I'll be using this program next and I don't plan to get a handwriting program. My book is packed up right now but I use the Awana verses for handwriting and my son is using 100 EZ Lessons and ETC and there is handwriting in there as well.

All of the science was my DD's favorite part of Bigger. With the One Square Books we always do the shoe box thing. She's in Preparing and while it doesn't suggest doing it with Desert we are making it.

Maybe just take a break over that part of math and come back to it later? I had to do that with my oldest with some parts of math. I was just stopping everything but I always end up not being done with her math book until mid summer. Now I just add extra practice to the parts she needs help or take ...

My son, turns 6 this month, is using the Before Expode the Code A,B &C. He had already been thru Little Hands and knew the sounds so these are a good review for sounds. It's also easy for him to do on his own while I work with his sister. :) It's the same routine for each letter/sound. I have Explod...

The poisonous hungry rattlesnake was going across the flowing sand dunes looking for tiny fat mice to eat during the cool night.
This is the end product.

We did return from a trip too. During that time, she just did read, used math workbooks and had life learning. The first week the first week of January we got back into Preparing and Little Hearts.

thanks for the replies.as it happens that we didnt do school on Friday due to late night, late rising and having dad home early. (yippee!) She will work on it again on Monday with dad along with the writting she wants to do. She doesn't get to do 'fun' stuff like her brother and sister but she's 4/5...

Her daddy had a talkin to her and she is going to work on it some more tomorrow. She went on a whole shabang about not liking it and not wanting to do it. He told her that out in school and real life you will have to write and stuff. So I'll see how tomorrow goes.

It's good,
