Thanks for sharing my delight! I wanted to add, too, that she has been crying almost every day that she doesn't have any fun school like her brother (who is in CtC). I was so focused on upping her skills in 'testable' areas, that I was not willing to add anything until AFTER testing was done. Well, ...

Got the results today!!! It was better than I expected! I will share details later, but I wanted to let you all be the first to know since you were praying for us! She did great in Language and Reading, fabulous. Math she was lower in, but not terrible, and I feel confident she will catch up with TT...

Awww...so sweet to remember us! I am just so glad the pressure is off, it is over. Everyone left happy, so that is good. I saw my daughter's scratch paper and saw a lot of mistakes. I asked her if she checked her work like I had drilled her to do, she said she checked 2 problems. :lol: But, it is do...

WOW, I just discovered this section of the board! I was wishing the board was more active, I like to check what is going on. And I found this section! Just wonderful! We finished our week today, a short week. My kids have their standardized testing tomorrow, and Friday is our co-op day. We completed...

Hi, can someone tell me if it is OK to use the 1990 copyright version of Boys & Girls of Colonial Days? Are there page number differences? THANKS!

I just wanted to thank everyone who is posting. It has been so helpful to me. My daughter will be tested on Thursday, and I am trying so hard to keep a peace over it. The last 2 weeks I was in a panic. SHe isn't doing so well on the test prep books, and I am having to face the reality that she isn't...

Hi friends, I am just writing to ask for some encouragement and prayer. In our state, standardized testing is required. My son has taken the test twice and excelled. He'll take it again this year, and I have no worries about him. He is advanced, an avid reader, and does well with everything. I assum...

My husband commented last night that things seem smooth and peaceful between the kids and myself. He commented that he has been calling me most days and asking how school was going, and each day it sounds good! I told him that we had switched back to HOD 3 weeks ago. Before that, things were very he...

Just a quick update! We are getting in the swing of things, now we are doing great! My son has gotten used to things, so he is not so intimidated. I am still working out from 7-8, shower and breakfast until 8:40, then prayer together and I read Bible aloud to them as we finish breakfast, and I also ...

I am a big fan of Rod & Staff English. I have used it for my son from 2nd-5thgrades. It is thorough. As long as you have the teacher manual, you will do great!

Thanks, friends. Well, I planned last night from 10-11, and shut the lights off at 11. My 3 yo woke up right after that and did not go back to sleep until 2AM! The house was completely quiet and dark, and he stayed in his bed but kept making noises and I got no sleep.Then he woke up at 6:30. Eek, so...

I REALLY needed this, thank you so much, my dear sister in Christ!!!
THANK YOU for the encouragement. You are so right. HE is so right!
By the way, I am in PA, too....I will pm you to see if we are anywhere close to one another!

So exciting! I spent some time in Melbourne...actually in Creswick, I went to the U of Melbourne School of Forestry in Creswick. I miss it so much. My hubby proposed to me there. Anytime you want visitors, just let me know!
Enjoy your books! I am waiting on a new box, too!

Just the encouragement I need!
I think I can, I think I can, I think I can....
too bad when we try to make our kids over-achievers, isn't it??? He is just so smart and willing, it is easy to push!

Oh, I don't mean it to be scary! It is a really nice day! Just more than I was used to! And I am sure we will get in the swing of things. SOme of the things we are doing are fun things we just never got to doing before. I am thankful to have it planned and ready to go, that way it actually gets DONE...
