Thank you Tracy

No, I haven't heard anything. There are 5 years between each edition thus far, therefore if the pattern continues there could be one soon. I know SWB is busy. Before I buy the 3rd edition I thought I'd ask.

I emailed about this topic but I'm not very patient. It's been a whole 23 minutes. Any thoughts of a 4th edition of The Well Trained Mind: A Guide to Classical Education at Home?

Great Expectations, Pride and Prejudice, Jane Eyre, Great Divorce or Till We Have Faces by Lewis,

Hi Elizabeth, It's licensed to your device. You must have purchased TOG Digital Edition to use it. TOG mobile uses the Lock Lizard App, currently apple devices only but soon to be on Android. A file is downloaded and opened in the LL app. Once that is done you do not have to be online to access week plan. Karen

Living waters is a support group and a co-op, co-op now meets in shamong which is probably 20-30 minutes depending on which part of cherry hill you will be in. There is also a wonderful group called higher ground - not a co-op or a support group - you pay people and they teach your middle - high schoolers. Great for science, writing and math (if you use Saxon), other courses offered too. There are a couple of wonderful theater groups, homeschool band, excellent art classes, voice lessons, etc. there is a tri-county sports league for girl's and boy's basketball, baseball and softball. Lots if soccer including Indoor soccer.

Oh shoot, now you all know the name of the Doctor.

Week 36 of Year 3 slightly overlaps with Week one of Year 4; both include the study of T. Roosevelt although Yr3 Wk36 is only to the vice presidency and Year 4 continues with his presidency onward. The first week of Year 3 covers some review of the French Revolution and John Adams' presidency; both were covered in more detail in year 2.

Thanks. :001_smile: I collect antique children's books and scanned images to use. I now have a time machine but I can't imagine doing the work again.

I stumbled across this thread searching for something else. I've attached an example of how I used ABCs and All Their Tricks. This, unfortunately, is the only page I have left. My computer crashed a few years ago and I lost everything.

He has never had the same professor more than once in a semester. There are 55 professors including associate and adjunct and they all have their specialties. When Ben studies ancient history for example he tends to have Dr. Favelo, Dr. Spinney teaches American history, and 20th century history is Dr. Aikman; he is fascinating by the way having worked as a foreign and senior correspondent at Time magazine for 20+ years.

History: TOG Year 4 dialectic Literature: 20th Lit heavily influenced by TOG rhetoric lit, some Omnibus III (in other words, as usual, I can't leave well enough alone :001_rolleyes: ) Writing: Finish up WWS 1 then ? Some TOG writing assignments. Language Arts: CLE6 Science: BJUP Life Science Math: Derek Owens Pre algebra. He also may use some LOF but I'm not sure which level. Latin: Latin Alive 1 Logic: The Art of Argument Christian Ed: Continue memorizing the Westminster shorter catechism as well as working through a text I picked up called Bible Doctrine for Older Children. Really looks excellent. Enrichment: history of the micro computer and lego stop action animation if they fit our schedule. Piano. Handwriting: Memoria Press New American Cursive II. And maybe a ruler for hitting knuckles. Kidding. Kind of.

Hi Terri, Congratulations to your son! Oregon is far. I am thankful to live in NJ and so PHC is close enough to visit and fetch Ben when we want, but far enough to prevent me from being one of those parents :ph34r: Freshman year can be tough, especially for those students involved in debate and moot court. But the guys at PHC seem to have a deep camaraderie and are very supportive. Feel free to email me if you have any questions or you want my son's email for any reason. karen@ciavo.com

I don't come around much anymore but I would like to contribute to this thread, old though it may be. My oldest son is finishing up his second year at PHC and couldn't be happier (that's him in my avatar on a school trip to Rome.) He is receiving an excellent education (history major.) We have not found the stereotypes we heard about prior to attending to be true at all. Lock-step ultra conservative awkward home schoolers bowing at the hem of Farris's robe? Not so much. I dare say the writing instruction received at PHC would even make SWB smile. Yes, it's small and that's not a good fit for all (not good for my graduating 18yo) but Ben thrives in that sphere. I can't speak well enough of the place. I adore Dr. Walker. Talk about a humble man! The professors take a real interest in how the students are doing, at least I can say that much about the history professors. Financially PHC has pulled back a bit on aid, thankfully so far so good for us. Ben is working on campus this summer, good for his pocketbook but bad for his mother who misses him. :crying:

We love WWS too. Nice avatar DB :001_smile:

Northern NJ has many hilly, rural areas within an hour of Newark airport, the border of NY is less than an hour from the airport outside of rush hour. Homeschooling is a breeze, there are no forms, tests, or anyone to report to.

We used to make people cards, I would google images and my son would glue picture on an index card and write who the person is on the other side. We stored them on a ring. Now we use a worksheet. I find that having him look up the people on day 1 helps start our week off well. He's dialectic level. We did this for grammar level as well.

Thanks for the info, I never saw the practice tests. How much time is given does anyone know?

Mathnasium TriMathlon. How was it? Is it oral (mental math?) or timed tests? My ds10 has never done a math competition and we thought we would start. This is local.

Agree with the above, Anthem over Atlas. Would also add We by Yevgeny Zamyatin, in fact I would probably start with that one or start with Wells then go to Zamyatin.

:grouphug: all around. It's hard isn't it? My oldest just left today to return to school for his sophomore year and I still was like this .

Thanks everyone. I received many fantastic suggestions today. Anyone know of any summer camps science at UPenn or Princeton? All I can find is old information or, at Penn, a program only for middle school girls. :glare:

thanks for all the great resources.

I had no idea. Thanks Dana.

An Imagineer in the making :001_smile: I thought my oldest would go that route, at one time he wanted to and we became friendly online with a Disney Imagineer through a Disney forum I used to visit, but he decided to go for the big bucks and become a history major. :rolleyes: That's him up there enjoying Rome. I get this, pretty much the same thing here. Ds taught himself to read and still loves reading books beyond his years (recently finished a modern language version of Pilgrim's Progress). Thanks for the Calculus for Young People suggestion.
