Gymnastics moms...question
Melissa B replied to Pamela H in Texas's topic in General Education Discussion Board
Actually, I don't think any state college in Texas has a collegiate gymnastics team (at least a competition team, I don't know about recreational.) -
Gymnastics moms...question
Melissa B replied to Pamela H in Texas's topic in General Education Discussion Board
Our dd is moved up one level each summer along with several other girls. Our gym doesn't go as many hours as others. If you want to move faster you need to take individual lessons. But dd and the team did quite well at state and I don't want to live in the gym, so we're happy. Recreational - 1 hr week Pre-team - 3 hrs week Level 2 - 4 hrs a week Level 3 - 6 hrs a week Level 4 will likely be 9 or 10 hours per week. -
Is there any program that covers all L/A?

Yesterday we received a ruling from the local CC that we've been waiting on for a month. 9th and 10th graders can no longer take dual enrolled classes at the CC. They must be in 11th grade to be on campus. Dd can take dual enrolled classes offered at a local high school, but I think that would be too much of a hassle. So here is our revised schedule: Latin II (FLVS) French I (FLVS) and Galore Park SYRWTL French I H English II (FLVS) Poetry (.5) 2nd part of The Creative Writer and Perrines's Literature: Structure, Sound and Sense (complete poetry and drama sections) H Biology (FLVS) H Earth-Space Science (FLVS) and TC The Nature of Earth w/lab - CTT Geology Ancient History - CTT Prehistory, CTT Early Civilizations, TC Origins of Great Ancient Civilizations and booklist World Religions (.5) (FLVS) and CTT Religious Intolerence and TC Religions of the Axial Age Algebra II - Saxon and LOF

Shirts with Holes - Granite Countertops?
Melissa B replied to justasque's topic in General Education Discussion Board
I always assumed it was the zipper of my jeans. Maybe you could do a poll and see how many people with holes in their shirts also wear jeans or pants (or skirts) with zippers regularly. :) -
That's unfortunate. Did you speak to someone specifically about homeschoolers? In several counties homeschoolers can start at the the CC while younger than a public school student. Also, have you checked the surrounding counties? In our county, homeschoolers (and maybe public school kids too, I don't know) can attend our county CC system, PHCC, but there is also an agreement with the CC system to the south of us, SPC, to allow students to attend there instead. Their system is much larger and accepts homeschoolers grades 10-12. Ours "currently" accepts students in grades 9-12, but is very small and limited in its offerings. I'm just throwing this out there since he plans to attend the CC anyway right after graduating. If he attends the CC as a high school student it will be free and still give him the option of going to a different college as either a freshman or transfer student the following year.

LabPaq - What do you get
Melissa B replied to Sebastian (a lady)'s topic in High School and Self-Education Board
Any site you can recommend? I haven't seen anything that matches their quality and ease-of-use (at a reasonable price) for a non-sciency mother that has no desire to pull together a lab credit on her own. :o I am most in need of a lab component to AP Environmental Science. Thanks!- 13 replies

Melissa B replied to Sebastian (a lady)'s topic in High School and Self-Education Board
I had to request a link on here as well. Here is the link given to me for Biology sets. The link to the comparison chart works, as do the links to what is in each biology set, but the links to other sciences do not.- 13 replies

I have a boy just like this. It has been quite a change after three calm and academic-oriented girls. :) He is very good at mazes and puzzles, can think things through verbally, is extremely active, but has no interest in letters or numbers. I think I am going to use Oak Meadow 1 with him next year. It begins with letters and numbers but ends the year with reading. (One can hope. :D) If I don't go that route I am going to stick with phonics, handwriting and read alouds next year - same as this year.

What are my logic stage history options?

Oak Meadow 6 -
Personally, I would finish 1B this year and start in Saxon 2 next year. Everything in Saxon 1 is covered again in Saxon 2 and 3. I can't think of any section in Saxon 2 that doesn't feel like you are starting from the beginning. So long as he recognizes and can write all of his numbers (basically has his kindergarten skills down) Saxon 2 will likely be a good starting point next year.

I am using Sound and Rocks & Minerals this coming year with dd 12. I am considering the Lentil program for dd 8 and ds 6 as well. I had it for the older two girls when they were about the same age several years ago.
