Re: (Preparing Question)Am I short changing my oldest by doing

Hi Julie, I generally look at our day and combine which subs I can and assign the rest independently. We have been combining a lot and I see everyone learning quite a bit. I do fill in with a ton of reading aloud. I do the skill areas individually but try to combine the content areas. I probably sho...

Re: So, I cleaned out my homeschool closet..... Q abt LHTH

I didn't laminate mine either. I do not have a laminator and it would be too pricey for me.
I love that the cards are photocopiable if one gets ripped :-)

Great job cleaning out!

Re: Thoughts on the new "ancient history" guide

Re: Why would I pick HOD over another curriculum?

Hello, I have 5 children 8 and under and HOD is very doable and rich. Of course I agree whole-heartedly with the counsel you have recieved to seek God and His will for you. Every family is different.

Quick reply

Can you do activites to strengthen his fine motor? Playdough ect. You could continue on and have him answer verbally or you can write the answers for him. He sounds like a sweet boy! :-)
