  1. I have a senior and sophomore both doing economics this semester. My question is: are there any quality board games that teach economics? My dd (the sophomore) would greatly benefit from something hands-on. I'm not looking for something that teaches about the stock market, but rather that would reinforce the basic terms and concepts in a more fun, real-world way. Any help is appreciated!
  2. Perhaps this is slightly repetative to what's already been said, but you can also edit the original message to simply "sold". Then when someone is looking, and moves their cursor over your post, they will see the "sold" message and perhaps save themselves some time by not clicking on it.
  3. Not me, but I sure wish I had been. I think I would have been much more prepared for college, and for life in general.
  4. You could always make a science notebook, and let her draw pictures of things she's learned...you can incorporate a lot into that.
  5. Biology, physiology, anatomy...least favorite has to be chemistry.
  6. Just recently it was explained to us that pre-calc. does include trig., and we were told our son wouldn't need to take a separate trig. class. I don't know if this is true all around, or just at the Naums school we are using.
  7. I guess my thought was to test in the spring sometime. It seems like they could be a bit rusty after having the summer off...unless of course you school year-round, then that's not a problem!
  8. Just another 2 cents that the plus version is well worth it. You will get a lot of support after the sale also.
  9. Absolutely, if he's kinesthetic let him do something. I was surprised to question my dd when I thought she wasn't listening, and found out she was! You might try books on tape or cd if it really bugs you that he plays when you read to him.
  10. We plan something to do together. It's usually going to the local amusement park, but this year it was to see "Prince Caspian". Also, we'd probably have a big dish of ice cream, or head to the local DQ!
  11. Too funny, but I do try and be careful as many people are just making small talk. I usually let my kids answer people. They do a great job!
  12. We just did this trip last Sept. also, and it was great! Jamestown is awesome; make sure to stop and see the glass blowers. Homeschool days at Williamsburg was a fantastic deal...stop for lunch at Kings Arms Tavern...it was really cool. We stayed at a Choice Hotel in Arlington, and walked to the subway. I have heard you can get a tour of the White House if you go through their security checks, which means you need to get started on that now. You might ask your congressman. We got a tour of the capitol through our senator, and it was very good. Mt. Vernon was a personal favorite...the things you see aren't copies of originals, but the real deal! Back in Washington, there is a twilight bus tour of the sites/memorials that was super. I think the company was Tourmobile? Try googling it. It was a different perspective to see the sites all lit up at night. If you can be in Washington over the weekend, your hotel rates will be much lower for Friday and Sat. nights. Have fun!
