Just as a side note on the Illustrated Family bible topic ... I found a copy of The Jubilee illustrated Family Bible (on bargain table at local book chain) and so far all page numbers and such match up with the readings in the CTC guide. We will begin unit 12 after the holidays, so we still have a ...

Hi Carrie, Thank you for posting that exerpt. Just what I needed to know! I think we were trying to do it correctly then, perhaps our yellow was a bit dried up. The yellow paint that we tried using came out in a solid "clump" when we squeezed it out (at first just a small bit of liquid came out, th...

Hi Julie, Thanks for the reassuring note. :) Yes, dd did her poetry project and finished painting it today, so we are satisfied and she enjoyed the painting activity. I guess since I am such a visual person it is just more difficult for me to "see" what we're supposed to be doing sometimes. Especia...

Thank you, Ladies, for the help. I'll take a look at the videos. And thanks for the tip of wetting the paper first. We'll try that next time. The palette I bought does have edges and several different sized "wells" for mixing paint. We chose to put a small amount into one of the large square areas,...

Hi Ladies, I'm afraid I must admit that I do NOT know how to use the watercolors for painting in the poetry instructions. :oops: My dd tried to do the background painting yesterday, but I feel like we wasted more paint than we used. I purchased tubes of watercolor paint from Miller Pads and Paper. ...

Yes, we will be using CTC too! So exciting to hear that some have gotten their manuals and student pages already. I'm anxiously watching the mail box each day! :D I have an 11yo dd using it for 6th grade, and we plan to start Aug 18. The 17th is our First Day where we pull everything out - oogle an...

My only question now is how to keep records. NC doesn't require other than attendance, but w/ them being in 6th & 7th I need to be more diligent. I do have homeschool tracker plus and hate it. ( at least last year i did) may try it again. Anyone ever used it w/ HOD or have anyother suggestions?? Hi...

Thanks so much, Carrie!
I hope you get a chance to sleep in now!

I have come down with a "summer cold" so I haven't been on the computer, but anyway, just thought you wonderful Praying Ladies would like to hear this! And thank you again for your prayers. One more update on Caitlyn... Caitlyn is out of PICU and in a regular room now. Praising the Lord! Quote from...

Hello Ladies, Any continued prayers are much appreciated on behalf of little Caitlyn as she recovers. I spoke with her grandma this morning and she was in tears as she had just heard that Caitlyn was in severe pain this morning and vomiting (due to meds). They will be putting her in a back brace to...

Thank you so much for all the prayers. I would ask that you continue to pray as the Lord leads you... Here is the update I just received... 1pm (Eastern Time): The surgeons are closing Caitlyn up now and she should be done in an hour or so. The surgeon said the operation went Extremely Well and the...

Hello Ladies, I'd like to ask anyone on the board to pray for little Caitlyn today. She is a 5yo in our church who was diagnosed with a cancerous tumor on her spine in April this year. She has been undergoing chemo treatments since May and today she is in surgery to have the tumor removed. There is...

Hi Julie, I was wondering if you'd mind sharing the specific info on these Book Project books. I know that they have gone out of print (except for the youngest level). If I wanted to try to find a used copy for the 4/5 or 6/7/8 level, what am I looking for? I am considering using DITHOR with my 6th...
