Playing the catch-up game as usual. We only take off for Thanksgiving day. (nt) - jakikoripiba 4 days ago

We'll take off Thursday. Friday will probably be light. Reading, a math page and an educational movie or game. (nt) - joyofsix 4 days ago

keep them going and me to keep up on their board and making sure they have work to do each week...we'll probably take the whole week off for the holiday..we often don't have work to do until tue or wed, and they do all days of the week from the day i print it out til saturday...

Behind as usual.....I have a great schedule, just wish I could stick with it. Only plan I have is just to keep plugging along. (nt) - jakikoripiba 4 days ago

Pretty close to on schedule but I'd always like to do more. Or have ds be willing to work harder. (nt) - joyofsix 4 days ago

i don't really have a schedule, i'm just trying to keep them going and learning... (nt) - serialmommy 3 days ago

Goals? Schedule? I wish! I've been playing catch up since the day we started, 6 weeks into the school year! We're not really behind, I just feel overwhelming pressure to keep all the balls in the air, school, housework, cooking, etc. (nt) - Bonmomof4 3 days ago

7. do any of you have suggestions of a good reading cirriculum for an ADD/borderline asbergers child (nt) - mom2twelve 3 days ago (5)

i make ours up as we go, it seems to hold his interest that way...are you looking for english activities like grammer and punctuation and what not or actual reading, like books? how old is he? (i'm assuming it's one of your boys)...james really likes books by judy blume and beverly cleary, the encyclopedia brown series, and the captain underpants series (nt) - serialmommy 2 days ago

Yes it is my 9yo son. I am looking for actual reading I use BJU press and he is interested in the stories but gets overwhelmed with the comprehension questions and the length of the stories (nt) - mom2twelve 2 days ago

Also I never thought of using his series books as his reading curriculum (nt) - mom2twelve 2 days ago

Not sure of his reading level but my 8yo is reading the Sonlight intermediate 2 books. He could read higher but gets frustrated if it's hard (m) - joyofsix yesterday, 05:25AM

Thank you. I did look into this, and it looks good. Unfortunately all the seminar cds and everything are just not in our budget right now. =( (nt) - magnificent7 19 hours ago

I'll ask my Tia how important that part of it is, b/c she's just started using it FT with her co-op class and I'm pretty sure she didn't go to any seminars, etc... - msjennbug 18 hours ago
