- My husband says hogwash to the claims of energy and water saving. We bought them anyway, but not based on that. The washer has some really long cycles, much longer than my old top loader, and I really can't see how that would save much energy, I bet it does save water, though, becuase of the way it washes-the clothes are not immersed in water but tumbled around in less water. nt - DianeJM 16:56 Dec 31 (1)

- I have found that there's no substitute for good old-fashioned practice. Flash cards, oral, written drills, etc. Take it slow and steady, systematically. I like how Saxon organizes and presents them (in 3rd gr.). Math-U-See has worksheets on their website. I use ABeka and Saxon worksheet drils, too. Keep at it and they will get it..........nt - DianeJM 16:46 Dec 31
