I home school 3 children in kindergarten to high school. Due to stressful circumstances, we were not able to start our school year until now, I am freaking out because I don’t know how to catch them up, We are required 180 days, and school here started mid august. Does anyone have any suggestions or been in this same situation? PLEASE HELP!! Thank you.

Calm down, you’re fine.

School half days on Saturday, but make it fun, go longer in the summer and take a shorter winter break. Send the kids to educational day camps for spring break and you’ll be fine. If that is not enough, tack an extra hour to 3 out of 5 instructional days, and you’ll get to add an extra day to each working week. Also, document anything educational that your kids did while your family was unable to get organized. Think like an unschooler.
We had a similar issue at our house this year, as serious life issues kept us busy through most of August and some of September.

Then on the right hand side of the result, you will see

You will see that have you bed in dorms for only 7 euros.

And you SORT by Price for double bedroom, you have double bed for as low as 16 euros at Central Hostel (very good review on this one)

All the best and enjoy your trip

Could someone tell me how to say “crimes against humanity” in Latvian, Estonian, and Lithuanian?

You would not be able to find anybody who speaks all of these languages. Even if the Baltic countries are so small they do not speak each others' languages. There are people who would be able to speak 2 of them. But not that many. I can help you some, but not enough to answer your question.

"crimes against humanity"
Latvian:
Noziegumi pret cilvēci

Estonian:
Üleastumised inimkonna vastu

Lithuanian:
Nusikaltimai žmoniškumui

This would be my version. It might be that somebody else can find a better way to translate these phrases.

I plan to move there in a couple of weeks..

Www.THEdreamangels.com shows you what to do with 1000 meters of finger-knitting (if you have kids who finger-knit you know what I mean). So enjoy learning to make a finger-crochet flower with Sunii and Kristie. These projects are also useful for children not following a Waldorf program. Contact Kristie at herbnhome@yahoo.com for information on Waldorf Enrichment in your home. Waldorf education can enrich your child’s educational experience.
