  1. Time Left: 14 days and 14 hours

    • WANTED
    • USED

    I am looking for Logic of English Essentials current items, mainly the teacher's manuals for lessons 1-7, 8-15, 16-22, and 23-30, along with all the flash cards to teach the curriculum such as phonogram, morpheme for each lesson set, grammar, etc (student workbooks a plus but not absolutely essential 😉 ). Used is fine as long as I can read the directions. I can pay via PayPal asap! Thanks!

    NO VALUE SPECIFIED

  2. Learn Math Fast Volume 1 will do a review of basic elementary math. I had my dd (who was 12-13 and behind in math/LA from undiagnosed LD's long story) go through the first book in about 6 weeks (I did supplement with some additional things like Kahn & MM & a couple subscriptions sites for reinforcement/review). She liked it so much she moved through volumes 2-4 within 3 months. I bought copies on eBay & the big homeschool buy/sell/swap group on FB
  3. I am also getting the "Something went wrong....." when I click any link in the classifieds section.
  4. My dd14 with epilepsy has a similar seizure type & pattern. She also has higher seizure activity in the mornings and when she first falls asleep. About 6 years ago, I started giving her 75% of her medication at bedtime and it all but eliminated her seizures! Now they only happen if she is extremely stressed, overtired, or sick. Not giving medical advice, just an observation ;) The keto diet was a bust for her, did not help at all. I really wanted it to but well, what can you do :P Definitely start a seizure journal...if you haven't already ;) As for school work, we take lots of breaks, repeat lessons 10 times if we have to, and try to do as little as possible on the computer as that seems to exacerbate the absence seizures (petit mal).
  5. Quick response to sub until I find a few minutes to give a more thorough one....you could do it with an older with tweaking. I am a terrible tweaker lol but I have some ides you might find useful.
  6. Thank you everyone..... and Merry, I appreciate you taking time to reply (actually I was secretly hoping you would respond lol I've followed your story for a long time since our husbands have similar illnesses). I am torn I guess. I WANT to use AAS the way it's designed, especially since dd did so well with level 1 but ugh, money is so incredibly unbelievably tight since dh became disabled that every $0.01 is precious. Homeschooling can be an amazing journey....for us, it can be described as an obstructed blessing. :banghead: Just when something good comes our way, it's thwarted by something I absolutely need that I can't readily obtain. I posted an ISO in the classifieds, who knows, maybe for once I will get lucky with an AAS student packet cheap :drool: :thumbup: :001_tt1:
  7. Awesome!! I love all your suggestions & ideas. I am not very creative....which makes being a homeschool mom challenging at times :p
  8. I've seen a few homeschoolers (here and on a couple blogs) mention that they use AAS without the student packet. :huh: :confused1: How is that even possible? What does a typical lesson look like using only the Teacher Guide? My dd did SO well with AAS years ago but it just has not been in our budget :tongue_smilie: Someone is sending me the TG's for levels 2-4, but no student materials. We've been flopping around with freebies for too long and now her spelling is becoming an issue. I don't want to attempt using AAS without the student materials unless I know it has been successful for others :thumbup: and I have a general idea of what to use instead of the cards/etc. Thanks for any suggestions!
  9. For volume 1, has anyone added in a separate geography curriculum? Maybe along the lines of a cultural study to enhance the lessons? We've done MOH in the past so I have an understanding of their integrated geography and it's not quite what I want this time around. My dd is very fascinated by the differences in world cultures, and since we will be starting the MOH cycle again this year, I was wondering if anyone ever added geography successfully. Not just a workbook or notebooking type extra, but a full geography curriculum like Galloping the Globe or COAH Expedition Earth, for late elementary possibly early junior high level (depending on difficulty). Thanks for any advice :)
  10. a unit study my dd wants me to create for Europe. Especially books or videos that are particularly "British" in nature (her words and emphasis lol ;) ) I have the free WinterPromise Great Britain study, which is not exactly what I want. We've done Galloping the Globe and the free Guesthollow geography unit but she really wants to spend several weeks or even a couple months immersing herself in their culture. I've been scouring the web for ideas but the majority of what I'm finding is too young/simplistic. I would love something all planned out for me but I realize that's the impossible dream ^_^ I really need suggestions for videos and/or books...something similar to the DK/Usborne internet encyclopedias that focus on one country/city instead of broad coverage of the entire world or hundreds of years. Books that provide detailed information for the current daily lives for all class distinctions (lower, upper, royalty, etc) or their daily life experiences from a historical perspective. I've done searches on Amazon & Goodreads but the reviews leave me more confused than when I started :confused1: :tongue_smilie: People either LOVE :001_tt1: a book or think it's absolutely HORRENDOUS :svengo:without explaining why lol Non-fiction video suggestions are welcome, too :) High school--adult level is ok since I will be reading to her & editing as needed (she's 12). Thanks in advance for any suggestions! :D
  11. If you really WANT a paid for version, Biblioplan is another option that schedules a plethora of books with SotW & MOH
  12. The MOH yahoo group has dozens of files scheduling readers/activities/videos/etc with the books...and they are free :) https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/MysteryofHistory1/info
  13. I have a quick question and the search function here (and google site search) are about as useful as a sharpie during an ITBS test. During a trip to a new local bookstore :) I found 4 levels of the 2002-ish edition Write Source handbooks/TG & skills books for $0.50 each (Write Away, Write on Track, Writer's Express, etc). I flipped through them enough to realize the layout is perfect for my dd (the one's at her level anyway). So....how in the world do I utilize them?? :confused1: Is there some secret schedule I am missing out on? Do you really just read a couple pages in the HB, do some worksheet or classroom activity and become a proficient writer? I'm either unnecessarily skeptical :o or missing a HUGE picture here. The Teacher's Guide to the Handbook references a "Program Guide" but holy macaroni batman :scared: they cost more than my monthly electric bill lol howevr those lesson plans sound interesting and extremely useful. Unfortunately I really need hand holding or at least a nice big push in the right direction and the TG is well, less than stellar :tongue_smilie: Any suggestions on "how" to teach this using just the HB TG, HB, & skills book? Or should I consider this an inexpensive lesson, send these off to Book Samaritan, and look for a writing curriculum elsewhere? Thanks in advance! FWIW, my dd has learning disabilities (undiagnosed Epilepsy as an infant/toddler) and is several years behind her peers. Due to some unusual & difficult new medical issues, she's regressed again so I need to take a few steps back for a while until we are able to fully address her neurological state. She has expressed an interest in writing the last couple years and we've done a few Evan Moor/Scholatic cutesy kinda workbooks, but nothing curricular, if that makes sense. She is extremely creative, most days she can visualize things that astound me, but she lacks thought organization abilities.
  14. Tapestry of Grace Bookshelf!!!! I use it for everything. This link is for Year 1 lower grammar books.
  15. More links than you will ever be able to use ;) (my dd LOVES this site...there are links for every subject & grade, even apps, GED/SAT...you name it!!!) This link takes you to the grade level stuff. You can ignore the common core links by clicking the + under each grade level next to "prior standards" Internet 4 Classrooms Well, if I could edit the post AND include the links lol This one has links for everything else such as special needs, exceptional, middle/high school, college prep, teacher resources, apps, etc Internet 4 Classrooms k12 links
