Thank you! With the lines, it looked as if it should be vertical...but they show it as horizontal, too. I still can't get my mind around it, but at least I know I am hanging it correctly :)
-
I am very interested in seeing photos of wall time lines, too. I am stumped as to how to start!

I just finished putting together my plans (we start school in September here). If you want, I can send that to you. It's an excel doc. We are doing it in one year because she will touch on these topics again in 8th grade and 12th grade.

...now what? This might sound dumb, but at they vertical or horizontal?
This is our first year using a wall time line. We've been using notebook pages until now.
Does anyone using these have a photo of how your wall looks that you can share with me? I am a visual person and I am not getting this. Help?! And thanks!

I plan to use a break down similar to the House of Education Years 7-11 except in dd's 8th - 12th grade years.
I am not familiar with House of Education...can you share a link? Thanks!
-
Thank you for sharing! That is a great offer...it sounds like an awesome poster!
-
Wow, incredible! Thank you!

I am just finishing up teaching forensics using Duke Univ. Tip - Forensics Clues In Crime and it is really good and a lot less $$$. It is only $75.
The TIP Forensics course is at : http://www.tip.duke.edu/independent_learning/cdrom_courses/clues_in_crime.html
I supplemented with forensics shows, interactives on the pc and mystery night at the library. There are lots of great resources out there that make teaching this easy and fun.
Would you be willing to share some of your resources? Which shows, games, and books would you recommend?
I am thinking about this program for next year.
Thanks!

I've listened to her lectures that focus on the elementary and middle grades and they are wonderful. I have actually listened to them more than once because they are so helpful.
-
In case you haven't bookmarked it yet, this is an excellent resource!
Thank you!

We are in the second rotation of biology and life science this year (my dd is grade 5). We are following TWTM advice and using How Nature Works and How the Body Works along with a science encyclopedia. There are lots of experiments in both of those books.
-
I am following SWB lecture on writing and since it corresponds with history or science we do writing directly after those subjects, when the material is fresh in her mind.

My dd is 10 (grade 5) and we go from 9am to about 2:30-3:00.

games on Quia
HTH!
I haven't heard of Quia...is that a free website?
-
We loved Junior Analytical Grammar last year...definitely continuing on with that program. It was the first time my dd said, "Yeah! Grammar!"
-
My dd is entering grade 5 this year, she is 10 years and 3 months.
-
Thank you all! My dd is 10 and we are doing 1 hour, 3 times a week. I am going to try and come up with something and appreciate all your help!

For those of you who use Latina Christiana, how do you schedule it during the week? Are you doing one lesson a week? Do you review flash cards from previous weeks? I just can't seem to get a grasp on Latin and a solid schedule or plan would be most helpful. Any advice is appreciated!
Thank you,
Brandie

I just finished listening to SWB's lecture on literary analysis (available on PHP) and found it to be really, really useful.
HTH
Thank you, I am going to check into that!

Love this book, really well written. amazon sells an audio version that's wonderful and really affordable. If you want to go that route.
Thank you, I will definitely check into that. It would be great to have while we are driving to activities.

This was my first year actually working with a schedule. So I did a lot of research on here going through old threads for inspiration. First I wrote up a year at a glance to know what I wanted to cover throughout the year. I then figured out how many days a week I was going to do each subject and approx how long it will take. I took that info and put it into a schedule outline here. Next I wrote up a weekly schedule template in Excel to use. Here is the first 12 weeks of information put into the schedule. It was a lot of work at first. But now that I have my outlines and templates done I just need to input the information by computer or print them and fill in by hand.
This is so helpful, thank you! It does look like a lot of work up front, but then I think it will help make the rest of my year more manageable. :001_smile:

Thank you both! I think we will use it as a read aloud.
does your school have a name?
