Dear Cindy, History- How did you go about it? Did you follow the history from the beginning according to the Bible or all of world history that includes Eastern Civilization or whatever came up of interest?

MAKE YOUR OWN BRAIN-IN-A-BINDER…
Thanks for this! I just finished reading it. I love the Let's Get Ready for the New School Year stuff. I hope over the weekend, I can retreat for a few hours and work on it.

TEACHING ENGLISH FROM THE ROOTS UP…
I got your Make Your Own English From The Roots Up Notebook back in the fall and we used it this past year. Much better than index cards by far. However we were wondering how you taught the book? I know it gives a few little teaching ideas, but my daughter doesn't care for most of them. I would love … [Read more...] about TEACHING ENGLISH FROM THE ROOTS UP…

She apparently had seen it there. Friday night, we were on our way home from the mall and she asked me this … [Read more...] about I See Some Improvements…
Do You Have Day Planner Options???
Hi - I am considering the great deal you have this week on the Organized Mom's Super Set. Since I really don't need to buy another planner system that doesn't fit my needs, my question is this: a binder is just too large for me size wise, I prefer a day planner size. Can your forms be shrunk … [Read more...] about Do You Have Day Planner Options???
HELP! How DO I Homeschool?
Hi Cindy, I just purchased the Organized Mom Super Set! You said if we had any questions to email. Well, basically, I am totally overwhelmed and don't know where to start. Do you have something to follow as far as a "this is your best plan of action if......" type thing? :D I thought if … [Read more...] about HELP! How DO I Homeschool?
