Here is a list, on my blog, of things we use for astronomy. HTH

Bumpty, bump!

I hear that a lot form Irish descendants, strange the pull of the green, green land. I hope you get to visit it one day. It really is one of the most beautiful place in the world, but oh so wet!

Haha DragonFaerie, do tell? Why the love of Ireland?

Wow, you guys sure have traveled. You have been very luck with the weather in Ireland this year, great first year back. Wouldn't it be great if Ireland always got such a great summer? I love Ireland, thought I love Australia too. Both have a lot to offer. We love to read too, and thought we have TVs we don't have cable, so we only watch DVDs. Like Melissa said WWS is great, we used it last year for a while, but it was too teacher intensive for me, so I went back to IEW. My older two are just about to finish the Student Writing Intensive Continuation Course, and I haven't decided what we will do after. Ask plenty of questions on this board, the ladies here are really helpful and many of them will have had similar issues to you, and will offer a range of recommendations and advice. Best board ever!!

We loved, loved, loved them! Here is a look at ours. I didn't mind when history went longer, as long as they were enjoying it. My oldest didn't do them, they would have been busy work to him.

Thanks Loftmama, I have one for SOTW 2 but I haven't been as orginised with it. I am getting books as I see them, and adding to my list. I will post what I have especially for you!!

Welcome Annie Mae! We are an Irish family, but we have lived in Australia for the last 7 years. I know of one lady on my blog FB page who homeschools in Ireland, but I haven't heard of many others. This forum is amazing, and a great place to ask all your questions about HS curriculum!

We are giving away an amazon gift card here this week. If you're not in, you can't win!

Use the same things you would use for the kids! Here is a list of books I use with my kids, I am learning along with them :)

Here is a post about what we use, it is a binder timeline form Home School in the Woods. We LOVE it!

We have 'those' types of kids!! LOL!

Haha Debbie! So glad you like it. We really loved doing ancients, and I love books so we might have overdone it a little ;)

I used SOTW wit my boys when they were in grade 4/5 and 6/7. I added in lots of extra reading, here is my list, and we loved it! We are now doing SOTW 2 and my oldest is 8th grade.

Here is a look at History Pockets, we used them with SOTW 1.

Here is my list. It includes what all my kids read, you could see if anything would intrest your dd.

LOL! I can't imagine diagramming being a highlight ;)

Exactly Calming Tea, so many directions you can go! There is not just one way to learn to code :) Your ranbling makes perfect sense.

You are welcome! Scratch is so much fun, hope your son loves it :)

My son is learning to code, he is only 11 but advanced. Here is some blog posts on what we have used. We started with scratch, moved onto Python for Kids, and now he is working his way through Realm of Racket. HTH Edit to add: Here is a post I started about a learning to code.

Bumbing for anyone who might be interested :)

My blog AirSkull is about the homeschool lives of 4 Irish boys living in Australia. Glad to meet you all :)

Not at all, it is great to hear how others fair!

If you want a certificate each you need to sign up separately, otherwise one account and work through it together.

That is a pretty challenging course, how are they going with it?
