I'm not really sure, but could you talk to discuss their recovery records with other patients or nurses? :grouphug:

:grouphug:Prayers here.:grouphug:

Great, just great...Now I'm curious. :glare:

(((Beth))) I'm so sorry, and sending prayers.:grouphug:

Aww...Congratulations.

:grouphug:How wonderful...Congratulations.

Congratulations, Nadia.:grouphug:

:iagree: We didn't begin with the DIVE until Algebra here.

The CD-ROM is not necessary, but an option with Saxon. Saxon does now offer The Saxon Teacher CD-ROM. Both are available from many sources such as Rainbow Resource and CBC. The Saxon Teacher is more expensive, but has more on them. We've used the DIVE here, and will use Saxon Teacher version next year. I hope it's as good a fit here:). Grades: 6-7 Retail: $50.00 Rainbow Price: $49.90 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Video clip lectures developed for use with Saxon’s Home Study Kits (though designed FOR, they were not designed BY Saxon). Lecture sets, which contain one lecture per lesson, are available by level for Math 54 through Calculus and Physics. Each level is contained on one or two CD-ROMs. D.I.V.E. lectures are ideal for the student who needs a little more explanation than what’s available in the text. I’ve found that even when you carefully read a math text, it’s often easier to understand a new concept if you can hear someone else verbalize it. The lectures are approximately 10-20 minutes long (the higher the level, the longer lecture). Each lecture is stored in its own file. To use D.I.V.E., the student opens his text to the next lesson and opens the corresponding lecture file on the computer. Lectures take place on a chalkboard/whiteboard screen. You hear the teacher, but don’t actually see him - rather you only see what he writes on the board. The student’s job is to follow along in the text (please note: the D.I.V.E. CDs do not follow along with the text on a problem-by-problem basis) and to take notes. In a typical lecture, the teacher gives a short explanation and works several practice problems. Lectures are given by Dr. David Shormann, an experienced math and science teacher. Aside from an occasional quote from the Bible (used to preface a lecture), the content is always focused on the topic at hand. Lectures can easily be paused, rewound, or fast-forwarded so the student can work at his own pace. For the Physics level, a Physics Video Lab is available in addition to the regular D.I.V.E CD-ROM. This convenient video tutorial follows Saxon Physics 1st Edition and the regular CD lectures. It performs the experiments for you using several thousand dollars worth of science equipment, including radar guns, photogate timers, and stroboscopes. Each Physics Video Lab includes photos, video, and graphs and tables from the lab experiment. Students can print out a lab activity sheet, watch the lab and record experimental data, pause the CD-ROM to complete calculations, and then turn the CD back on to check work. 23 labs are included in all and most of them follow the scientific method (question, hypothesis, methods, results, discussion). All labs are taught from a Christian perspective. Four quarterly exams, with video solutions, are also provided (these are based on the exams found in the Saxon Physics test book, so students can study these to prepare for those exams). At each level, these tutorials provide valuable verbal instruction for students. Please note that the edition of the DIVE CD must match the edition of the Saxon textbook that you are using. System requirements: Windows 95 or greater (including Vista), Mac OS (all versions), Quicktime (free to download at http://www.apple.com), speakers, CD-ROM drive. ~ Anh --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have all three editions, but will not loan out my first edition:D. It's highlighted, filled with post-it notes, lists and falling apart from use. Most of my other books are in like new condition. I use this baby over and over, and that is why I recommend it in any edition.

Apples: Daily Spelling Drills for Secondary Students Susan Kemmerer Apples was designed for older students and takes only a few minutes to complete the daily lesson.

Our home library is very little, but we supplement with the library. Their waiting list is very long though. Museum Masterpieces: The Louvre How to Become a SuperStar Student

:grouphug: virus low iron hormones pms bad bed fibro flare, yes I'd try eating something high in iron (cream of wheat) a shower and a nap. Hope you feel better.

:grouphug:Prayers:grouphug:

:iagree: This is the first I've heard of their program though.

Congratulations.

:grouphug:Congratulations...

I understand where you heart:grouphug: is and your ds's view from the other side. I'm mastery motivated until the end of middle school, but once the official transcript kicks in... I'm a dreaded :smash: with deadlines, retakes and you get what got. The Teaching Company's Super Star Students, truly helped my dd organize, plan and retool her approach to tests, deadlines, note-taking and her work in general.

:thumbup1: Thank you.

The poor guy. We've battled sleep insomnia issues here and winter always seems to be the most difficult time of the year. Older boys are a little different than the littles to help. (Melatonin can cause nightmares and we choose to avoid it.ymmv) You may be correct that the audio books are stimulating his mind, and might a different regular book. My ds needs good things to read that he can put down. kwim? Not an easy balance to find. Things that have helped here are: 1. Good diet, backed by a daily vitamin and plenty of milk 2. Sunshine when ever possible, I live in a dreary winter place too:confused:. I open all the windows (drapes and blinds if its too cold) and turn the lights on during the day, then make his room super dark at night. 3. Any type of exercise you can get during the day, but not right before bed. 4. Shower before bed along with a good wind down routine. We choose reading. 5. Agreed plan for what he can do if he wakes or can't get to sleep. We again chose reading in bed. :grouphug: We've come to expect and accept that some people have sleep issues around here. :grouphug:

:grouphug:Poor kid. That is so scary.

:grouphug: Sending a hug and prayers your way.
