Help !!!!!! I am trying to generate a fall exam and I don't have a clue as to how I should do this. Are there any examples/templates for me?

Help!!!! I am trying to generate a fall exam for my son. I am not sure how to do this. I want to cover material from lesson 1-60. Is there an example out there?

Since we were not able to get a spot to take the test. My thought is to purchase a book from the book store and give the practice test myself. I am only wanting my ds to take this test as a test run before he takes it in the 11th grade. What are your thoughts?

:iagree: with Jann in TX

:iagree:

We will have a rising 9th grader and a rising 7th grader. In past years we have completed our work in the same room and had little to no problems. This coming school year, it was suggested by my dh to seperate the two. His reason is that our 9th grader needs to have full concentration on his academics and not be distracted with me teaching our 7th grader. What are your thoughts? Do you seperate your children?

I plan to order the DVD.

Thanks for taking a look. I feel much better.

Yes, we have completed Saxon Algebra I last year. We just feel that a complete year of Geometry will be good for us. Also our local private school requires Geometry in the ninth grade year.

My first high school student next fall and I am stressed!:banghead: Here is what I have for him so far. What are your thoughts. English 9: Lightning Literature and Composition Science: Apologia Biology Math: Saxon Geometry History:BJU World History Logic:The art of Argument/The Discovery of Deduction (1st logic class) Spanish: Possible BJU Spanish I Debate Class (Co-op) Toastmasters Class (Co-op) PE: Football, basketball, golf

Just wanted to bump to see if there were anymore suggestion

:party::hurray::party:Keep bragging!!! You've earned it

Which would you recommend. Saxon teacher or D.I.V.E.? Is there a video out? I need something that would completely explain the subject matter.

I am looking to purchase each of these guides. I don't mind if they are written in however I would like them to have all pages. Please contact me with PM with a price and how to send payment. Thanks, Alicia BTW: I know these are given when you sign up. However, I have been placed on the waiting list.

Thanks.

Would anyone like to share their plans for 9th grade?

LoriD- Thank you for sharing your insights on high school planning- you have helped me so much!!

I am having some or a lot of anxiety as I begin to plan for highschool. Some days I am completely sure as to what I would like to cover. Then other days, I feel the anxiety returning. Why am I second guessing myself?? There is so much to choose from and I don't want to make the wrong choice. How do you guys get thru this valley? Help clam my nerves.

Yes. Once my children learned to sign their name (around the age of 5), we applied for a card. I do monitor their accounts via my computer. It was not cumbersome to hold onto their cards. It makes them proud to check out their own books.

Wordsmith Apprentice is ok. She does not like the writing assignments. Pretending to be a reporter is boring. She hears the writing assignments for my son Writeshop. She wants something similar. She said the writing assignments in writeshop are more interesting. This is my second try with Wordsmith. I guess it is not a fit for my family.:glare:

My dd9 hates this curriculum........:glare: Now what??? Please let me know what you are using as your writing curriculum. I really don't want to spend a lot of money.

Thanks everyone. My thoughts are to use the summer as the review session so when we begin in the fall we will not have to spend time in review mode.

Could someone tell me how much of saxon 6/5 is review from saxon 5/4?

:iagree: with the others. A page a day worked for us, we also used the Bob Books that kind of went with the lesson of the day. I even had a collection of the Hooked on Phonics books that were also read.
