Hi I am the owner of this group and spamming is NOT allowed. Please remove your name from my group. This is a group of people who homeschool their children and...
Hi Frank Jonathan is doing wonderfully, He is Maine right now visiting my family until July 7th. I miss that little booger! I understand from Bianca that we...
Hope he's having fun! Yep, you sure do miss those little characters when they're away, dontcha? Marjie (who now likes to be called MJ) was gleeful about...
For those of you with school age children on-board or maybe you are the school age student!..what program(s) have you found to be the best fit? Abeka, Saxon...
Cathy - I've been homeschooling my kids for 9 years and have done it all from K-8th grades. We've used A Beka for the older girls and switched to Saxon math...
How do kids, particularly infants & toddlers handle the sea? Do they adapt easier than adults? How do you guys with kids handle this? We've got 3 girls, ...
In my, albeit limited, experience it depends on the kid. Our 6 year old gets car sick easily but is fine sailing. The reverse is true of the 4 year old. Ginger...
Hi Corbett, We give Sage ginger people ginger candy, candied ginger, ginger soda - anything ginger. I'm not sure if the ginger actually works but she loves...
Hi, I'd hafta say it's completely subjective. I rarely experience it; but my brother gets motion sick if you look at him cross-eyed. I have two daughters, the...
I've found that each of my 4 kids have begun getting sea sick around 3 or 4 years old - unless it's a particularly bad day. If I know conditions are going to...
Hi. We spent the weekend on our boat and our oldest, who's 9, got sick to her stomach a few times. Chris gave her chewable antivert. Non-drowsy and no water...
Hey Again Yes we had terrible engine trouble along with some other problems.......but all is well we are safe and Rob is just about finished fixing our problem...
We are still in the planning stage of boat living, but we have been homeschooling for quite awhile. I even have a daughter that will be 13 the end of July. We...
I know about Calvert -- but can anyone suggest some other good non-religious programs especially for little ones? Pre-K, K, 1st grade and so on? Something to...
There's a curriculum online called Ambleside online (www.amblesideonline.com) and it looks pretty good. It's Charlotte Mason and uses lots of 'living books'. ...
We're following the Ambleside program as well with a 4 and 6 year old. 3 years at it and so far so good. We did supplement Math with a formal program j ... ...
The OP asked for "non-religious" references. I'm not familiar with Ambleside but Charlotte Mason is not what *I* would call non- religious. YMMV, Frank ... ...
Hi. My first year of homeschooling I was overwhelmed with what to use. I finally went with LifePac because it came neatly assembled and gave me everything I...
Check out sonlight.com, it is not specifically religious, unless you do Bible study. It is a lot of living history books and all books are included in the...
Anf I again feel compelled to point out that even Sonlight calls itself a Christian curriculum. Their #1 educational goal is "1. To teach students to seek...
Frank, while I appreciate your pointing out that Sonlight is a Christian curriculum, I think the opinions could have been left out. I've been homeschooling my...
Thanks to everyone for posting information. I DO appreciate Frank pointing out the programs that are religious/ Christian in nature. I think that quoting from...
I can definitely say that you don't want Sonlight then. Ambleside is also a Christian curriculum (I just checked it out). I probably can't help you with...
Hi there We've been researching programs -- but my head is spinning! There are so many out there now. I was just hoping for some first hand experience input. ...
Cindy - I can definitely say that having a separate space for homeschooling is NOT important - just some organization is. Homeschooling is often done on beds,...
Jumping in: we're looking for similar info / feedback from experience for a secular preschool/elementary program. When we start homeschooling on board in '08...
Behan - I've heard very good things about Oak Meadow. I'm on a secular mothering board where a number of mamas homeschool. I'll ask them what curricula they...
Sailing Kids HomeschoolHi everybody, Secular curriculum can be hard to come by. Even though I'm a Christian (a youth minister in fact) I don't really...
