We just finished Geometry and it took 1-2 days. His service and response time were excellent in our experience. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Those who have done Trail Guide to World Geography...help please
Maryam replied to Maryam's topic in K-8 Curriculum Board
Anyone? Please? [emoji4] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
I'll be using this for the first time this year with both my 8th and 4th grade daughters. I would greatly appreciate it if anyone who has done this curriculum can answer my questions. 1- Can I do it with them together even though the questions they answer are different? If so, suggestions on how? 2- How can I do it on two days? I'll mainly be doing the questions, mapping, and vocabulary. 3- Do they memorize the maps they do?

I'll be using it for the first time with my 4th grader and 8th grader. -Can I do it with both daughters together even though they have different questions for each level? If so, how? -do they memorize the mapping of the various countries? And the capitals? -how can it be done twice a week? (We'll also be continuing History, so 4 days doesn't work well with our schedule). Thanks!

Grammar for the Well Trained Mind?

SWB confirmed that the PDF's will be out by fall. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
Registration for fall classes opened yesterday and two classes are already full. Just thought I'd mention it because their classes do fill up quickly!

Erica Meltzer's Reading Comprehension and SAT Grammar books are excellent for preparation IMO.

Ideas for fun additions to morning basket
Maryam replied to Runningmom80's topic in K-8 Curriculum Board
Funny- I was searching "morning baskets" on the forum to ask just this question (suggestions to make it more fun). Any suggested joke books your kids liked? -
2017 AP scores coming out this week
Maryam replied to RegGuheert's topic in High School and Self-Education Board
My ds got a 4 on his first AP exam: AP Computer Science! He took the course with Edhesive. It was a good experience; he worked hard, learned a lot, and enjoyed the challenge. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
Grammar for the Well Trained Mind?
Maryam replied to dhudson's topic in High School and Self-Education Board
Any news? Will the PDF's be out before fall? I really hope so! Because if not, I have to order Analytical Grammar or Saxon Grammar within a month. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
If you have tried either or both of these literature courses, can you please offer your feedback/ reviews? Thanks!

On the Thinkwell website they have one listed as AP US Government and another as a college course. Can the one listed as AP carry the AP label on the transcript?

Teens & Time Management...Experienced Homeschoolers!
Maryam replied to Maryam's topic in High School and Self-Education Board
Thank you! -
Obviously, this can be the most frustrating time of the year for high school (AP's, SATs, trying to finish whatever we're behind on), a time in which we frantically reassess how we'll do it better next year... hence the timing of this question. At least in my case, since this is my first year homeschooling high school. (He was homeschooled in elementary using WTM, went to school until high school, and now he and his younger siblings are all homeschooling). We're really enjoying it but I am really struggling to figure out how to teach my high schooler better time management while fostering independence. Some methods are working and some...well aren't. What worked and what didn't? How do you get them to work for longer periods of time? And to finish their responsibilities with minimal distractions (especially when using the computer to homeschool)? Do you have a minimum block of time they have to work at a time before taking breaks? And a minimum amount of time to homeschool in a day? Anything else I'm missing?

Is Thinkwell US Government an AP class? If so, did it prepare your children well for the exam? And any other feedback would be appreciate.
