Thanks, everyone. I appreciate everyone sharing their experiences. We will manage to get through. My son's interests in knights and castles starts and stops with the Chronicles of Narnia. My approach with him is going to be that this is good practice for the rest of his life. There are going to be t...

Hello Ladies. I have not posted in quite some time. We are gearing up for our new school year. I ordered my books last week and just opened the box today. And panicked. I am planning RTR for my oldest son who will be 12 in a few weeks. This will be for 7th grade. We do our own math and science, and ...

Haven't been on in FOREVER - but because I took the time to take photos and blog our experiment from Preparing, week 6 day 4 I thought I'd share the link with you all

Thanks, Lynn! Good to hear it worked for you!

Has anyone done Bigger with 2nd and 4th at the same time?

We've been using HOD for the last 4 years with my kids. Each year we have used it in different ways that bless our family. I have been praying and praying about next year and I *think* I am on to a plan for our family. Has anyone used CTC for 6th grade? I know the recommended age is 4th-5th. But for...

Wow.
thank you
that was killing me!

I am so sorry. I can't find anything except the books for reading in the book store. I feel foolish, but I need help!!!

Can anyone pipe in on how their 3rd grader did with the Independent History Study? I considered not having him do it, just having my 5th grade son do it. How about research? I could have them work together, but I don't want my 3rd grader to just let my 5th grader do it for him. :P I will have the ri...

I just saw a special board just for photos.
Did NOT realize that was there!!

Sorry

YES

I don't want to do the back-of-the-door timeline. Our house just can't handle it.
I'd like to see a picture of the flip book kind if anyone has one they can share!
Many thanks!

Good grief - I just started to reply and read the author. I'll email you my friend! C. could totally do Beyond. Wish you were still around the corner! For the benefit of other readers, I will say regardless of the grade level you are reporting for, I watched both my boys use Beyond as seven year ol...

our Beyond timelines were on cardstock, with enough columns and rows as the guide suggested. There were some colums that has less entries than others, but each rectangle left enough room for a small drawing. I will see if I can dig out an old one and scan it.

I think it depends on the family. As another poster said, with your eldest 4.5, I'd be comfortable just easing into things naturally, adding one thing at a time as your new family finds it's rhythm. :) Enjoy watching your kids interact, knowing that if your oldest was doing public school she'd be mi...

we have been very blessed by CSA this year, omitting the sections Carrie has listed as optional.
