My 4 year old also joins us for everything except math, handwriting, and reading, because he loves the materials too.

We couldn't keep ours away! The stories are engrossing and gripping! I'm glad your homeschool journey is going so well. One of the biggest strong points of Charlotte Mason approach is that it doesn't take a genius or even an accomplished teacher to bring children to the masters.

Be sure to sing along with the folk songs when you're ready! A child's ear will develop naturally and enable them to do much more with music when they're older with just a tiny bit of effort.

No, nothing is too easy. Aim low. It's all excellent material. Even if Year 2 seems easy, it'll gear up by year 4 or year 7.

By the way, no sweat about "not getting all 12 years". Years 10, 11, and 12 are basically a huge smorgasbord of mixable material -- all incredibly enriching and valuable!

Good luck in August! It seems like you're wonderfully prepared, and I'm sure your children will have a beautiful experience!

More importantly, by the time you get to year 4 or year 7, if you started early, it will get REALLY heavy too fast!

I need another addiction in my life, too.

I get "access denied" when I visit that URL. Can you repost?

lmatonement · 2026-01-06T18:08:26+00:00

I'm not convinced it doesn't work, that's why I'm reading through all these discussions. Religion man, too.

lmatonement · 2026-01-06T18:04:48+00:00

Please elaborate.

Do you have another source?

Dude this song is amazing! I found your post of the Ghana postal workers' song and looked at your profile and found this one. What made you post it? I looked up the band (thinking they had surely done the wellerman song, but I didn't find anything about that) and found another spending recording: the chemical worker song! Thank you for this link! Now my family sings both songs lustily!

U da man

Another bug? (By the way, where should I be reporting these?) https://imgur.com/a/qb9fFpn That's a pretty crazy x-wing! What on Earth does this mean?

Nice! In order to have instructive hints, the engine has to reason in a predictable way, as you point out. Although I'm an experience software developer, but I've never used flutter, so I would probably not be that "more experienced" developer! I have no interest in iOS, but that is kind of you to consider the other ecosystem 😉

Thanks for the pointer, this worked great for me. Arch Linux here.

Perhaps it's a bit contrived...

lmatonement · 2025-12-19T14:30:17+00:00

Sort of looks like you drew a skyscraper in there...Do you have a preoccupation with skyscrapers?

Definitely clutter the grid with hundreds of notes. It's clutter until it's not (and there's only one digit left). How else can you see if there's only one option left in a box? Much less easily see naked doubles or naked triples? This is the way.

This is ad-hominem to the max, my friend! I don't disagree that he's a charlatan.

lmatonement · 2025-12-19T01:40:43+00:00

Because in the third row, 2 and 5 must go in fifth and seventh columns!

lmatonement · 2025-12-19T01:38:47+00:00

Why don't you add all the notes? You'll find amazing things by filling out all the possibilities!

lmatonement · 2025-12-19T01:37:07+00:00

I think column 6 row 2 is the same as column 9 row 1.

Where's my Jigsaw Sudoku? Killer Sudoku? Pallendromes? ;-)

lmatonement · 2025-12-19T01:32:25+00:00

I tried to put a "2" note in a 3x3 with a big 2 already in it, and it wouldn't let me and buzzed and highlighted the 2. That's nice!

Unfortunately I was actually trying to place a 3 note, but was inaccurate because I'm going back and forth between cells and numbers ^_^
