I saw it last night. It was a good movie, not too cheesy. It did deal with issues like porn, strippers, and college girls at parties, but nothing explicit. We will probably buy it when it comes out on DVD.

Yea! Thank you!

Anybody up for this?? â¤ï¸

Specifically highschool level only. I know math builds on each other, but I am not as concerned with lower level math. I have no issue teaching that, and am familiar with several programs having gone through it 4 times now.

Would anyone be interested in making a thread for different highschool math programs like the "Sticky" threads above? I have graduated my oldest, and he is doing well. We went with Saxon as it had the most teacher help available. We wasted a year with Saxon with my creative, artsy daughter who I tried to shove in the Saxon box because it was familiar, but that was an utter fail. She is now doing Life of Fred, and she is no longer fussing about math, and is doing better, but it scares me to go that far untraditional. I have looked at math programs until my brain is mush. I like the looks of Algebra the Fresh Approach series, but again, not much out there on it. Any suggestions? Is there a math person who could do a comparison of the various programs?

Very excited about this! I don't go to homeschool conventions, but this would be perfect!

I was going to suggest Writeshop as well. It works really well for us!

I recieved a keyboard for my iPad, fuzzy socks, a Bluetooth speaker, a glass dragon necklace (the lady sits in the mall making glass figures),a Mickey Mouse shaped house key and a handmade nativity scene. It was a good day!

Hmm... Mine were all little then- we used FIAR, Singapore math, apologia, SOTW, sonlight read alouds, and the only thing we would not do again if I had more to homeschool those ages again is Singapore. I loved it, but couldn't wrap my brain around it enough.

Yes THM is a common abbreviation to Trim Healthy Mama. They have a large, fast moving Facebook group too.

Yes, well... Working in it. Highly recommend the book Trim Healthy Mama. It is a bit expensive ($35) but full of great info. They just started putting out their own brand of stevia since they have become so popular and it is very good.

Freedomship education by Andrew Pudewa as I mentally prepare to start again Monday!

Thanks!

I am not familiar with all the programs you listed. However, I have read here that several people are following WWE with CAP until their student is ready for WWS. CAP practices and expands skills using a variety of stories until they are ready to make the jump in thinking that WWS requires. I am familiar with Jump in, and wouldn't use it with a 9 1/2 year old.

We were going to start today, but decided to wait until next week.

I love the looks of done of the highschool cores, but have not done one as written! If you google sonlight highschool here on the Well Trained Mind site you will find several posts. Generally, people do not like the highschool cores, even those who did like the younger cores.

Chemistry 101 might be a good option.

From what I have read, yes. That is my plan too. We are doing Windows with the extended syllabus. Then starting EIL.

I'll play. My 6th grader is my youngest: Math finish Saxon 6/5, go on to 7/6 Latin: prima Latina, finish, the do visual Latin and Latina Christiana History; Diana waring history alive Rome, reformers, revolutionaries Science: either flying creatures or do General science over 2 years. Writing: finish Writeshop 1 add in some IEW Grammar: Fix it book 1 Spanish: Rosetta Stone Literature: read and discuss various books, some from history, some just good literature Philosophy adventure- saw it on Timberdoodle, looks great!

P.s in our area NDT was $79.

I am in the middle of this for the second time. Here is what we do. You have to submit an approval to texas for a Parent Taught Drivers Ed approval Packet, it's $20. Then we used National Driver Training as recommended by My Fathers World. You do the first part of the learning online, and study for your drivers test. Then they go to your local DPS, and take the written portion of the test. If they pass they get a permit and you start the driving portion of your training. You log hours of driving, then they go back to DPS and take the driving portion of the exam before they get the official license. We were very pleased with NDT.

I will be re-reading sections of the Well Trained Mind as a refresher. I will also be reading Decinstructing Penguins, watching Teaching the Classics, and listening to several audio lectures. Time to refresh and refill!

I saw several ASVAB study guides at the library yesterday. Kaplan has one and another was ASVAB for Dummies book.

What they said. Some of my favorite memories are my FIAR books. I still have my manuals and books to pass to my children later. Use Sonlight as a read aloud list. :)
