I've thought a lot about this question and have sort of swung back and forth in the way I deal with giving my kids information.  I live in a really academic area.  My friends are all really well educated and a lot of them are...

I love what Lux has to say about this.  I think pretty much any kid at age 7 could rush through the alphabet in a week tops, right?  But do we want them to?  In my opinion, my child, who is doing Christopherus Grade One...

My 5yo DS goes to a home-based, Waldorf-teacher-led co-op Kindergarten two days a week.  The teacher has asked us not only to avoid commercial graphics, but even something like 'a big doggie on the shirt'.  Her reasoning is...

We're homeschoolers, too.  I have my middle son signed up for a home-based Kindergarten class this year as part of our Waldorf Co-op.  This particular class is in a member's home (well, outside that member's home!) and is...

I made my own quite easily, in a three-ring-binder.  There are tabs for a year-long, one-page calendar for quick reference, a tab for daily schedules (like what time we need to be in the car for x activity), and a big, fold-out...
