  1. There are a couple files combining the two in the Mystery of History 1 yahoo group. They are located in files--MOH with other curricula--MOH & Diana Waring.
  2. There are several schedules that combine what you listed on the MOH1 yahoo group. It is free to join :001_smile:
  3. This is awesome! Thanks so much for sharing. I wish I had the ability to create lapbook components but I am afraid my talents lie elsewhere (exactly where that might be I have not discovered yet) :D
  4. We have not had any problems turning the pages. I have a stack sitting here with close to 100 pages & I can look at each page very easily (maybe more than 100 pages I haven't counted lately). Of course, you have to buy longer brads if you have several hundred pages :D Another thing I should mention is that I bought brads with larger heads. The cheap ones from wmart can slip right through the holes :glare:.
  5. :bigear: Subbing because I am being overrun with PAPER! :D Since I have no more room for binders, I have been 3-hole punching a set of pages & putting a brass brad in each hole. Makes it easy to keep them together inside my file box and to add/remove pages if I need to. Takes up less space than a binder, too.
  6. The Head of the Class! Free, customizable, tracks student progress & adapts to their abilities. Covers every subject & you can set levels based on precisely where your dc place (2nd grade math, 4th grade language arts, 3rd grade art, all for one student). You can set the lessons for only one subject, more art/less math, all math & nothing else. You name it, the sky is the limit :001_smile:
  7. :bigear: because I am in a similar situation with my dd.
  8. If you have internet access at home, try Head of the Class and Internet 4 Classrooms. Head of the Class covers prek-5th (they will eventually go through 8th) & is a full free online curriculum covering all subjects. You can customize it for each student, which is a very nice feature for a free curriculum. You could have a child do 3rd grade math, 5th grade science, 4th grade art, and 2nd grade language. Internet 4 Classrooms is prek-8th and covers all the subjects plus SAT & ACT prep. It has links to everything you could possibly want & more! Spelling City is a fun way to practice spelling & vocabulary. Lesson Pathways has complete, laid out lesson plans for grades K-5 & covers all the subjects too. There is a planner so you can schedule the pathways in advance for each student.
  9. Can you download it from the SCM website? It is a free download so you would not have to pay for it again :)
  10. Subbing to come back and answer this tonight. Quick answer: dh was raised an atheist, became a Christian about 10 years ago, and the first book in the series has completely revolutionized how he perceives God. The book may be geared toward students, but it helped my sweet 40yo dh see God in a WHOLE new light :) I gotta run but I will come back and bore you with a long answer later tonight :D
  11. My mom & I collected deceased animals for skeletons in Texas years ago (almost 30 years ago :tongue_smilie:). We placed them into paper bags filled with salt and left them in a rubber-maid garbage can for several months (actually we forgot about them). I cannot remember why we did that, but they are still in pristine condition. Anyway, then she put a small drop of super glue at the base of each tooth and along the main joints. Oh, we also prayed them with Deft acrylic sealer. Do they still make that stuff? The opossum skeleton still has all its teeth. We glued it with the jaw open and everyone thinks it is a small dog or cat!
  12. Most people who have PayPal feel totally safe but we have proof it is anything but...:glare: We started using PP back when we were eBay powersellers. At first, we thought PP was great. But after our bank account was hacked by scammers from India using PayPal to get our checking account info, we closed the account and have no intentions of using them again. And in case you were wondering, no we did not give someone our information via spoof mail or anything else. It happens more than PP leads people to believe! Do an internet search and you will see there are hundreds, maybe thousands of people who lost money because of PP's poor practices. We have lost more money to fraudulent sellers using PP (in the $1,000's) than we ever did using MO's (less than $50 and that was totally my fault because I did not research the seller better). By the way, I was helping a friend try to set up a PP account recently and in order to have a PP check mailed to you, you must verify your account by linking a checking account or credit card account.
  13. A quick solution is to search their posts. Just copy/paste their user name or email into the search box (just above the top message on the right). That way you can see how long they have been on there and if they have had any transactions with other members. Another idea is to search for their user name on the HOD forum. I have seen many of the sellers on the yahoo FS group posting on there.
  14. I have paid with MO may times. It really depends on where I am buying from though. And for what it's worth, PP decided against my claims so many times that I no longer find them a safe method of payment. :tongue_smilie:
  15. Wow. That was gracious. I have emailed them in the past and they were always helpful. :confused: Nothing like a little sarcasm to encourage customers to buy additional products lol! Sheesh. I'm sorry you received such a "helpful" response :D
  16. Are you trying in install the 2nd portion of the program or do you simply want to change the number of the next lesson?
  17. Have you joined the free yahoo group? There are enough goodies in the files section to last you a lifetime! Schedules, lesson plans, notebooking pages, you name it. :001_smile: Once you join, look on the left hand side for the files link, then click the section you are interested in. The files contain resources for all of the elementary books. Edited to add: I almost forgot the AWESOME resources for Astronomy on Homeschool Launch. There are several pages for each chapter, all in pdf format. :)
  18. Just for anyone who is not clear on PP rules regarding personal vs purchase: Quote from this portion of the user agreement. I was scammed by someone (not from here) and when I called PayPal, they said payment for ANY purchase for good must be sent as such in order to be protected under their buyer protection policy. You can send payment as a gift, but you would not be eligible to file a dispute.
  19. Actually, once there are replies, that will only edit the title of a post, not the title of a thread :glare: I have been asking for an edit thread title feature for a LONG time because I always seem to mess up the title!
  20. :lol: That is exactly why we need an edit feature for the title! Edited to say that I have never seen coupon codes for AAS, but maybe someone else will have one :)
  21. It is because they study cultures. It is not HORRIBLY out of order though. I would say it is roughly chronological, if that makes sense ;)
  22. The MOH lessons are definitely out of order. For example: BP week 1 uses MOH week 1; BP week 2 uses MOH week 2 with part of week 4. If you wanted to use MOH chronologically, you could simply do the lessons in order & cross reference BP (which is what I am going to do). I am currently making a spreadsheet that has the MOH lesson number on the left with the BP week on the right. That way, I can use BP's awesome maps, cool history, & the reader schedule without losing my mind (I can't stand reading a History book out of chronological order :tongue_smilie:). Edited to add: I forgot to mention that in Ancients, SOTW is done out of order also. We are not using SOTW though, so I have not paid too much attention to how out of order it is. I would be happy to check my guide and let you know (PM me if you want more info).
