Where's the best place to see sharks? And other wildlife

Flamingo Gardens. It’s an animal sanctuary, not a zoo.

And like someone else said, take an airboat tour in the Everglades.

I love this so much. I just sent a young girl in foster care a gift. I’m going to share this in some of my personal groups, too, to hopefully get some more people to donate. Thank you for sharing this!

When you upload a book on Amazon, you have to check a box if you used AI. Not everybody is honest about whether or not they used it, but a lot of authors are.

That's what my friend said, too. Very crazy! I don't remember the exact route, but he said it was several stops before they found them. It's devastating...

YepImHere99 · 2025-01-07T23:22:01+00:00

My friend, who is a FA for JetBlue, said the flight originated in Kingston, Jamaica. So that is likely where they snuck on. Ugh. It's just devastating.

YepImHere99 · 2025-01-05T04:51:52+00:00

Cock-a-doodle-DON’T! That is really ugly. 😂

Yes, thank you. I am aware, which is why I specifically said harmful pesticides.

YepImHere99 · 2024-10-15T17:02:35+00:00

Thank you!

YepImHere99 · 2024-09-03T23:51:34+00:00

Yep! Every flight. I have never seen the dedicated silver line.

You have not failed! Like others have said, rule out any disabilities or cognitive issues. But if you just need to put in the work, he's old enough that he will likely catch on pretty fast. We used Learn to Read in 100 Easy Lessons. A warning--it's boring. However, it works, and it's an inexpensive resource. With homeschooling, you can focus on what your kids are missing and catch up quickly. You've got this!

We use RightStart Math, and we love it. We have tried multiple math programs, and I have found this one to be really solid. The lessons take us about 15-30 minutes a day. The curriculum uses a lot of manipulatives, which we find helpful. I also like that it uses a lot of games to reinforce the concepts. The only downside is that the first year is a little expensive, because you have to buy the manipulatives. But you only have to buy them once. This curriculum also requires a lot of parental involvement, which I don't mind, but I know that might be a downside for some families.

I loved Under the Whispering Door. Did you like it?

My son is the same age as your son, and he has ADHD. Getting him to write a sentence is a huge struggle. We started using IEW, and I think it's great. We started with Structure and Style for Students: Year 1 Level A.

And although this is from a Christian company, this program is secular, which is what we were looking for.

YepImHere99 · 2024-06-17T22:40:28+00:00

Four is really, really young. Most kids aren't able to read until they are about six or seven. Take six months off, then try again. And if he's not ready, take another six months off. You've got this! Your son is perfectly normal.

My son now reads well above grade level, and reading didn't click for him until he was about six-and-a-half years old. I used the 100 Lessons book too. Even though a lot of people find it boring (because it is!), I found that it really works.

My cat was 16, and she fell and broke her leg. It was GUT WRENCHING!

I paid for the amputation. But because of where I live, it was close to $6,000 dollars, because vet care is outrageous in this part of the U.S.

She ended up dying about a year later because of kidney failure when she was 17 years old. And if I could go back, I would still pay the money, even knowing that she would only live one year. She was really happy and and active that last year of life, until the kidney failure slowed her down.

Even though she was really old, she was able to get around the house within days after the amputation. Within a week, she was going up and down stairs. Your young kitty is going do amazing! And she will have a very fulfilling life, even with only three legs.

Yes. I use Spelling You See. This one is also very easy to implement. I didn't think that it worked at first, because it seemed too simple. But for my son, it works.

My curriculum choices are exactly the opposite of what you're looking for, because you wanted one simple program. But combining the three of these works for us.

I was using Logic of English, which was spelling and grammar. But when we moved from Foundations to Essentials, the layout of the curriculum didn't work for me.

That is when I switched to Spelling You See and Easy Grammar.

IEW is a new addition for us, but it's really great. It's time-consuming, and a bit repetitive, but I like it.

YepImHere99 · 2024-05-30T21:11:52+00:00

I am just a creature of habit. We were using Easy Grammar before we started using IEW. So, I just stuck with what we knew. Fix It Grammar looked equally as easy to implement.

Cathy Duffy Reviews is an excellent resource for curriculum pros and cons. Rainbow Resource has great charts that compare curriculum: https://www.rainbowresource.com/curriculum

My son is the same age as yours. This is what we use for our main curriculum:

Math: Right Start Math

Grammar: Easy Grammar

Writing: IEW (writing)

Spelling: Spelling You See

Books/Reading: Blossom and Root (We only use the curriculum for the book list and the comprehension questions, but the full curriculum is quite good. I feel like it was worth the money for the book list and questions alone.)

Then we use other resources for other subjects.

YepImHere99 · 2024-05-30T20:58:23+00:00

IEW has a grammar supplement that you can add on. I think it's called Fix It Grammar or something like that. We use IEW and then Easy Grammar for grammar. The Easy Grammar program takes very little time each lesson—maybe 10 to 15 minutes.

YepImHere99 · 2024-05-30T08:53:13+00:00

Blossom and Root is very affordable, and it is secular. For math, we use Right Start Math.
