Is there an area of the forum for discussion of special needs? Thanks!

Is there any way to post or share a pdf file in the forums?
I would like to share in the music forum one or more pdf pieces of music (AO folk song that I have typed up for instruments).

If there isn't, my workaround would be to have my husband post it on a website and then link to it, but seemed like it could be simpler to somehow attach it directly in the forum.

Has anyone else been having trouble with Tapatalk in the past few days? Obviously, I can still write, but pretty much nothing else is working. I can describe more specifically later if necessary, but I just thought I'd ask if others are having trouble first... or maybe it's just something with our bad internet connection?

Wendi's inspiring talk about "The Riches" is available now! Again, as we celebrate AO's birthday month, the price will be 99 cents during the first 24 hours, and then it will go up.

When I search for the article "Some Notes on Narration" by G. F. Husband search only brings me to the basic PR page. I searched with just the title of the article, and with his name. The three results that include one or the other all are links to https://www.amblesideonline.org/PR.shtml
 What am I doing wrong??

This past May, we were honored and excited to gather in a humble patch of Texas prairie. For months, we planned and prayed over every hour of that time together. Our deep-in-the-heart desire was for that conference to bless the boots off of our attendees. God met us, and we had three golden days of AO goodness, under the big Texas sky.  

And now - it's your turn! We want to share that Deep in the Heart of AO conference with you. From the very beginning, AmblesideOnline has been about growing and learning together in community. All of this began with a handful of newfound online friends wading into the unknown deeps of Charlotte Mason's six astonishing, all-but-forgotten books. As her timeless ideas came to life in our midst, they brought purpose, delight, clarity, ease, and beauty into our family learning endeavors. So we decided to recreate Mason's rich PNEU school curriculum for our children.

The AO Advisory never dreamed that this thing we did for the love of our own children would grow up to become a non-profit educational foundation. Today, the AO community numbers far into the thousands, and circles the globe. It's always AO time somewhere!

So join us - we will be releasing audio files from the conference, one at a time, so you can savor the riches and the fellowship. Our first one is the opening plenary by Advisory member Donna-Jean Breckenridge, on "Renewing the Mind: Homeschooling in Hard Times." For our 15th anniversary celebration, we want to offer it for .99 the first day. The price will return to $5 after that.

I've read the rules in the Buy and Sale forum:


"Please note that you must be a fairly active member of the forum before you are able to post here. There is a minimum number of posts to have been made before you have access to post on the buy/sell area."

I'm new to AO and still trying to figure out how the forum works. I'm wondering how active is "fairly active".  Is there a certain # of posts? 

I still have to purchase several books, and would like to purchase from the forum, but not sure I can.  
I sent someone a pm (twice) about a book but didn't get a response.  I wondered if they didn't get it because I'm not allowed there yet?  

I hope all of that made sense.  Maybe someone could shed some light on the subject
Thanks

May I join adoption group please.
Thank you for helping

Hi!

My Private Messages notice at the upper right of the page shows I have 7 PM's, but I can only see 3 right now.  I have messaged someone, and I'm worried that she has answered, but I can't see the answer for some reason.  Any idea how I see the other 4?

Thanks for your help!

KimSanDiego suggested a thread where resources from the conference could be posted - great idea!


Here are my nature journaling supplies I promised. Quick Disclaimer: This is what we use for painting in our nature journals out in the field, I am in no way saying these are the only or the best things available. This is just what we've come to use. 

Windsor & Newton small paint set - learn to mix colors.

A little vial for water, or use one section of the lid for water

mechanical pencil - keeps a fine point

black water color paint (not in my palette and never black enough when I mix blue and brown)

gouache - transparent white paint

paper towel - for dabbing excess water

Pilot Fineliner pen - for writing in nature journal

Strathmore Visual Journal - 5.5 x 8 in mixed media journal 34 sheets spiral bound - small and lightweight enough to carry and thick paper to prevent bleed through.

hydroflask water bottle - keeps water ice cold for 24 hours

Carson microbrite lighted microscope - takes a little getting used to, inexpensive field microscope

field guides - laminated & folded so it's durable in the field, useful in field because not a lot of info on it, shows all the different types on one page for quick id. Here are a couple examples:

Many AA and mods will be at the conference this weekend. Some are already en route. Please be patient if we don't approve new members or answer questions quickly. We'll be back next week!

So I download the year 7 .doc file. It looks great. I upload it to my google drive, view it and it still looks great. I open it in edit mode and suddenly it does not look great. It's very messed up and large portions of some of the tables are off the side and I can't move them nor can I copy the data in them. It's being incredibly difficult and frustrating. Does anyone has a suggestion of how to fix this? Without having to start from scratch and write it all in. I'm about ready to try something else. In which case, suggestions are welcome.

AO's "Deep in the Heart" Conference Status:

We have exceeded our limit of 200, but because quite a few are commuting, we still have room for a few more. Last day to register (if spaces don't fill before then) is Sunday, April 24th -- that's TOMORROW!

I was trying to search for members by region, and I can't remember how!

Great news! thanks to the generosity of a very special lady, we have some scholarships we can award and we want to share them!

If you could not come to the conference before, but a 100 dollar donation towards your conference fee would make it possible, please email us and include a short note about why you think our conference will help you. You do need to be sure you can come w/that help, because we want to award them quickly!

Unfortunately, the deadline for special meal requests has passed, so you need to be able to eat the regular fare, or bring your own and eat out on the grounds or, I suppose, your hotel rooms, not sure what Lakeview prefers, except they say no outside food in their dining hall.
We have a limited number of these scholarships, so please only email if you are sure you can come with this help.

Email us at amblesideonline@gmail.com to tell us you are coming and want a scholarship. Priority goes to those we hear from in the next 3 days.

Year 5's schedule has changed.  Wild Animals I Have Known is now scheduled across all three terms instead of only in Term 1.  I just changed the charts.  I expect the booklist and schedule to be updated soon.

We'll have more substantive information about what to bring soon, but for now, feel free to bring something to share at the fair!
