  1. Has anyone used Oak Meadow's highschool courses for World Geography, Health & Fitness, or Intro to Literature and Comp.: The Hero's Journey? Can you share your experience using them, and if you liked them? Does the Lit. and Comp. course cover instructional writing?
  2. My daughter is signed up to take this WTMA class next year. I am glad she is taking the Logic Astronomy with the WTMA this semester so she has had a chance to get used to doing the weekly discussions, etc. I find the work load really interesting. I homeschooled my oldest ds from 1-8th, and this year he wanted to go to public school. I would say his Biology class has been extremely easy, and he almost never has any homework. It is amazing the difference between public/homeschool.
  3. Yes, I think four online classes will be too much. With Algebra, French, and Biology she will have a class everyday except Friday. I think my main concern right now is trying to decide what we should do for US History. I am pretty sure I don't want Notgrass or BJU. If I pick my own text, I just have to come up with assignments on my own.
  4. This year for eight grade she has two online classes. She is taking Lial's Prealgebra with Jann in Tx, and Astronomy with the WTMA. She is doing really well with them, but I am thinking four might be too much. Yes, I was planning to count the literature with English.
  5. I am trying to plan my daughters 9th grade year. This is what I am planning so far: Math: Lial's Algebra 1 (w/Jann in Tx) Science: Holt Biology through the WTM Academy French I: WTM Academy Writing: WWS 2 or EIW 9 & IEW Fix It Grammar PE: Swim Team and other activities in between season History: See Below Options For history I am considering a couple options. She has done a lot of world history, and she really wants to study American history. Here are the options that I am considering. 1. Sonlight Core 100 2. US History (online class at Debora Bell) 3. WTMA U.S. History 4. The Enduring Vision Textbook on our own outling/notetaking (used in Debora Bell class) 5. American Stories Textbook on our own outling/notetaking (used in WTM online class) 6. Hakim U.S. History books w/Hewitt Syllabus and Tests I already have her signed up for the online Algebra, Biology, and French class. I'm not sure if one more on line class would be too much. For the options other than Sonlight I plan to pick out literature and use Progeny Press guides. So far I am thinking The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, The Great Gatsby, Uncle Tom's Cabin, The Call of the Wild, To Kill A Mocking Bird, Their Eyes Where Watching God. I am still considering these titles though. What do you think of my 9th grade plan? Is six credits enough for her ninth grade year, or should I add in health or art too? Which U.S. History option would you choose?
  6. I was going to order Horizons 1 for my first grader, but now I am looking into Math Mammoth. Of these two which do you think is the best?
  7. I have wore makeup everyday since I was a teen. Every morning I put on foundation, powder, blush, eyeshadow, eyeliner, mascara, and lip gloss.
  8. I am currently trying to choose curriculum for my ds that just turned seven. He is a first grader this year. Here are some options that I am considering: History: Story of the World w/ AG & DK Animals and Nature Encyclopedia, and a National Geographic Space book. I considered Apologia Astronomy, but I wasn't sure if it would be too wordy and over his head. OR Sonlight Core A & Science A Phonics: Phonics Pathways, Explode the Code, and Bob Books OR All About Reading OR Something else? He is already reading CVC words. Which history and phonics would you pick? I am open to other suggestions, too. For math I am planning on Horizons, and I will probably add in First Language Lessons and Handwriting without Tears too. Is there anything else that I should add?
