Those two girls look alike. 

One of my grandsons is home-schooled.  Two are public-schooled.  The home schooled one is doing very well.  The two who are not are in deep trouble (one is in 1st grade and the other in 3rd grade.  The 3rd grader has been held back twice.  All the school does is complain about him, say he cannot read (he can read at my house) and plague his mother with their frequent phone calls and meetings where they try to place the blame on the parents "lack of helping enough with their homework"  (since when do first and third graders have two hours of homework at night - that is crazy).  The 1st grader is doing okay, but barely.  When my own kids were young (I have 3) my son would have really benefitted frome home school, but at that time the state of California made that impossible.  I went through so much with him and with a nephew (my sister-in-law and brother-in-law spent 800.00 a month on special reading and tutoring classes and that was back in the 1970s and 1980s.  That is the only way he did well, and the tutors agreed with the parents that there was nothing wrong with him or his ability to learn, that it was the school's lack of teaching to the individual that was the problem.  Lucky for him that his parents could afford the tutors.  Psychologist's don't know everything (and I am an old Psych RN and have met a lot who were probably attracted to the field because they were formerly psych patients  .  As a grandma who lives with her home-schooled grandson who is in the fifth grade now I say hooray for home school! It feels really good to know that he gets taught in a way that works best for him and his mother.  If the psychologists are worried about "group interaction" just take her to martial arts classes.  Since when were schools the only place a child could interact?   Martial arts is good exercise and it also has worked wonders with ADD children and I've seen that first hand.  It is helpful with self esteem and helps children work on their ability to work with others as a team.  My home schooled grandson can interact with anyone anytime and we get tons of compliments on his behavior and he is delightfully happy.  Every year we ask him if he would like to change to public school, private school or continue with home schooling.  His answer so far has been homeschool!  My other two grandsons who go to public school are much loved, but there is defnitely a difference in their behavior, their attitude toward learning, and their ability to get along with others when compared to their cousin.  The public schools are not what they were when I went to school - I had wonderful teachers and obtained an education that was second to none.  Alas, this is not the 1950s anymore and the public schools prove that to me every day in every way.  Go to some websites and check out the curriculums.  See what is out there.  I recommend Calvert's great curriculum.  Good luck! 

I am hosting a co-op on Monday and I have no idea what to do! This is only my second time. The first time I did a scrapbooking project.

Some parents do volcanoes, etc., if they are good at science. They are SO easy to please. The ages are K-5th grade, so there is definitely a big age gap.  I just don't know what I should do!  One time they did a beanbag toss as a game, etc.  Like I said, it's very easy. It should last about 30 minutes.

Thanks for any ideas!! I'm usually creative, but my mind is just drawing a blank right now!

social aspects.  She is way ahead of her grade academically.  Eventually, she will either be homeschooled exclusivelly or I will enroll her in a magnet school or alternative school.

I do that with my animals actually to help them with the static in winter.  Or a spray bottle with water and some liquid fabric softner squirted over things.  Easier and cheaper than 'Static Guard' in a can.

Good luck and congrats on your new furniture!

so towels do get that musty odor.......but I find fabric softener works REALLY well.......no complaints so far

oh and I use TIDE with bleach (also works on colored clothes) for washing......(but I love the smell of Gain, just think Tide washes better)

I am so tired of this....seems like every time I turn around, I am running a low grade fever (99.0 up to 99.3, my normal is around 97.6). The temperature itself would not be concerning, but I can tell by the way I feel, even before I take my temp, that it's running high.

I have allergies and develop sinusitis very easily. In the past couple of months, I have taken three rounds of antibiotics because of low grade fever accompanied by sinus symptoms (pain, pressure, yucky green phlegm, etc.). That's the first time I've taken antibiotics in ages - I have to be pretty desperate to take them, because I don't want to develop a resistance to them.

Now I've got the fever again but no sinus symptoms. Anybody have any clues what else it could be? I mean, I don't hurt anywhere, I don't have any symptoms except the fever.  I know I need to go in and get a complete workup; in fact, I have one scheduled for September 5 (that's the earliest appointment my doctor had). I'm just sick of feeling lousy.

does anyone out there have some game ideas for a 2nd grade valentine's day party?  i've tried looking some stuff up on the internet, but not having much luck.  wondered if anyone out there has some good ideas.

TIA

Doug kissed me in first grade and then ignored me forever after that.

Tilden in 5th grade - he picked me to be his square dancing partner.

Lyle in 6th grade - had all the makings of an abusive husband, but didn't realize it at the time.

Tilden again in 7th grade - didn't last too long.

Had a HUGE nonreciprocated crush on Dan in 9th grade.

Bill in 10th grade - he was a Sr. so got to go to prom.

Dumped him for Chuck not long after prom.

Met Tom at church camp that summer - long distance thing.

Tim when I was a junior, who introduced me to his friend, Jerre, who ended up being my husband till this day.

That was fun!
