 TM> I saw that demo video too and it looked good to me.  I'm using

 TM> duh, why didn't I think of that!
 I saw Saxon, but prefer Math-U-See.  It is expensive though, My 11 year
 old saw the Math Demo and liked the way it was taught.  I want my kids
 to help tell me how they would like to be taught.  That way I know they
 will be more interested in what we are doing.
 
 
 TM> Apogee has a similar game for spelling called Word Rescue that my
 TM> girls enjoy as well!
 
 We have that too, but they aren't to crazy about it.  They have trouble
 with that kinda stuff so I will have a harder time finding a way to
 teach them words.
 TM> I guess expensive is relative. . . thank goodness we have the whole
 TM> summer to accumulate new material for next year.  I'm probably
 TM> either gonna do a catalog party for Usborne, or if it looks like my
 TM> new location doesn't have a rep, I may sign up to sell it so I can
 TM> get all the supplemental books I want.  When you look through a
 TM> company's catalog and say, "I want this, and this, and this. . . "
 TM> it's time to consider a cheaper way to obtain it .  TTYL!

 Your right, Thank Goodness we have the summer.  My kids are going to play
 softball and soccer this summer.  I remember my 11 year old played softball
 and some days it absolutely put him to sleep.
