    I have saved tons of literature, but the only curriculum I have saved is: Five in a Row Reading Made Easy Life of Fred SOTW If they choose not to use it that's fine too. But we have memories with these, and they may choose to share it for that reason alone.

    Anyone else have a child that choose to serve in the military after highschool? Just wondering how popular this option is among home schoolers and how your student faired if they did choose this path. My son choose the Navy (after dual credit 2 years in highschool) and my oldest daughter is considering the same.

    We still do. I have 3 left in school (soon to be 2!) and we start at 9 with a daily devotion or Bible reading, and family read aloud. Then the highschoolers leave and my 7th grader and I do her history and a read aloud.

    I use Biblioplan- but have used it since before all the additional resources. We use just the schedule. We have used it for years(8 I think) and really like it.

    We use Notgrass as well. If history were a passion subject or a skill subject I may choose differently- but it's a get er done subject and this works for us.

    ^^^this. We had to do this with our German Shepherd when she was adopted from the pound this summer. Inconvenient, but worth the trouble to help her adapt.

    Liked the looks of MFW- but didn't work well for us. I like most of the books for Sonlight- so I adapt and use Sonlight with a twist. Lol

    My most used THM items are... blender (hoping to get a stick blender for Christmas, food processor, silicone muffin liners, silicone baking mats, thm specialty products ( baking blend, gentle sweet, gluccie...) and cute ramekins. I love the orange silk hydrating cream too- definitely the new cookbook, maybe a gifting of the new membership site?

    Second Windows to the World. You can do a few weeks or buy the syllabus for a year long class. I know you will probably want the condensed version for times sake, but may want to consider the longer one for practice with novels instead of only short stories- even if you don't do it all.

    Can I just say "Yes!"!? Having just graduated my oldest, 3 more following, I have learned the value and wisdom in not everything having to be a super challenging, advanced course. Each person will have their bents. Give them a solid education and let them discover them.

    If he is highly motivated on his own go with PIYH, if he is more reluctant Jump in. We love Sharon Watson writing programs.

    Cinnamon rolls for breakfast and steaks, baked potatoes, stuffed jalapeños, rolls, and salad for dinner.

    And I believe she recanted that in one of her audio lectures....

    I do not post much, but have been around since the beginning. I still remember everyone racing to be "first". Like Kinsa, I go through seasons.

    We love Five in a row as well. One of the few curriculum I have saved even though my youngest is 12.

    Perfect timing. I will be headed that way soon to see my soon graduate bootcamp. I'm in Texas and it will be so cold I wasn't sure what to do. Someone suggested the underground tunnel system that links the down town area. I will be watching this thread. 😉

    It's called U.S. A Narrative History. There are 2 volumes.

    Here is a link on her site to show how to cover US history in more depth. I also pull in my son's college history text- it makes it easy enough to add in resources when you feel necessary. http://www.dianawaring.com/our-curriculum/how-to-use-it/how-to-cover-us-history

    My daughter is using it this year and is enjoying it. It doesn't talk down to the student, and she enjoyed the book "The Last book in the Universe" that was read. We aren't very far into it, but two thumbs up!

    Wow- whack job isn't a powerful enough word here. Not sure how the Pearls were brought into this, but they don't condone this type of behavior either- even as harsh as they may seem.

    Glad to help! 😊

    The Writeshop blog has some good ones we use from time to time. Also, search Pinterest- there were quite a few there when I was looking.
