I homeschool my five children and we use Ambleside tweaked to our own liking. I've actually used Rod and Staff's Bible Nurture and Reader Series but a strange thing happened where my fifth child who will be 4 in May loves to learn and is doing the same work as my fourth who will be 6 in May. So I want something a little more cost effective. I've heard you need to supplement phonics with both of the above mentioned programs. Which did you find you preferred and do you have any suggestions for the phonics? I really appreciate your feed back:)<BR/>Blessings,<BR/>Clanmamaclanmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04834519522825144631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35451298.post-613171406704742332008-02-12T03:57:00.000-05:002008-02-12T03:57:00.000-05:00Jessica, I found your blog about 4:00 this aftern...Jessica,<BR/> I found your blog about 4:00 this afternoon... it is now midnight, and except to get up to feed my baby and eat supper, I haven't moved from the computer. My eyes are burning, and DH has been in bed for a while (where I need to be). I am also the wife of an United Methodist Preacher. We were in the Arkansas Conference before he felt called to be a chaplain in the Air Force... so in June we moved to our first assignment with the Air Force. We are in Colorado Springs (20 hours from my MOMMA!!) :( I am planning to homeschool beginning in July, and I am a planner like you, I just don't seem to follow through for longer than a few weeks. I told DH tonight that I wanted to use your cleaning schedule (modified a little for us) and he just said... okay... he knows that it probably won't last, and I can't stand that about myself. I'm determined to make this work. I just wanted to tell you that I enjoyed reading through your journey... I didn't finish it, but I did go back to the beginning and read every post up until Feb or March of 07. I then skipped around to see how everyone was doing. I feel like I know everyone in your family now! :) Just wanted to say thanks... I'm sorry I rambled and wrote a book!<BR/>AmandaAmanda and Ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17734008622613437708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35451298.post-84910824484877209262008-02-11T09:30:00.000-05:002008-02-11T09:30:00.000-05:00I'm not sure if you are aware, with all of your re...I'm not sure if you are aware, with all of your research I am sure you are however. Charlotte Mason's original works are available for free online. There is the original version and a modern english version. I am reading Volume 6 of the modern english version right now. You can find them at http://www.ambleside.org. That way you could begin reading them right away!<BR/><BR/>HTH!<BR/>KimKimberly Lottmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11345429705342384519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35451298.post-31863548059365048122008-02-10T23:29:00.000-05:002008-02-10T23:29:00.000-05:00THanks for the info on LL for the Very Young!

I bought LL for Very Young because based on the samples, it would be a replacement for FLL 1/2. Comparing those two texts is more beneficial than PLL but I can do all three. Primary Language Lessons is intended for 2nd grade and up.<BR/><BR/>:) Grateful our journey is helping others!<BR/>JessicaJessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11962142768868238733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35451298.post-19675193598717177142008-02-10T19:48:00.000-05:002008-02-10T19:48:00.000-05:00Jessica, I enjoy reading about your curriculum sea...Jessica, I enjoy reading about your curriculum search - especially the Language Arts portions. My dd7 and I really enjoy FLL2, but I would like either Language Lessons for Very Young or Primary Language Lessons for the picture study and as a supplement in general. I think I have read that you have purchased both. After you have looked them through, would you compare them and mention which you like best?<BR/><BR/>Thanks<BR/><BR/>Michelethe striped rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13971373349800972797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35451298.post-11965525466963415982008-02-10T17:28:00.000-05:002008-02-10T17:28:00.000-05:00Kristi,The Primary Language Lessons we're using is...Kristi,<BR/>The Primary Language Lessons we're using is available at http://www.HillsideEducation.com, it is a Catholic product but gentle, by Lingua Mater.<BR/><BR/>I choose Primary Language Lessons over Language Lessons for the Elementary Child by Sandi Queen (www.queenhomeschool.com, they are VERY similar) because I wanted a more open-ended book that was non-consumable. The Language Lessons books are consumable unless you photocopy the pages or have your child write out the exercise. <BR/><BR/>We will use Language Lessons for the Very Young by Sandi Queen for first grade. I mention Language Lessons because it does give more directions than PLL does and some prefer that. <BR/><BR/>Thank you ;)<BR/>JessicaJessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11962142768868238733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35451298.post-51219195498500838002008-02-10T17:19:00.000-05:002008-02-10T17:19:00.000-05:00Is that Primary Language Lessons by Emma Serl?

I thought we would have greater independence in 3rd and it hasn't been that way because of "division"!! ;-) But maybe that won't be the case for your family.Daisyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15315109355687283907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35451298.post-7021460465018472222008-02-10T11:28:00.000-05:002008-02-10T11:28:00.000-05:00Looks like you had a great week!

We are also working on having math done more quickly.

Generally the first half hour is the most efficient and then they start to peeter out. If you have the energy you could introduce math games at the end of the day too. They compliment written math superbly. Try Yatzee, board games with two dice, or shut the box.<BR/> I love your blog by the way. It is really inspiring.
