Yes! Thank you!! I had forgotten I had replied to one of the threads. ? I could have found it easier if I had remembered. Thanks again.

Once upon a time on the forums there was a discussion about literature. I think it was Hunter who mentioned a list of 10ish books that all other stories were basically built from. I thought I had the list somewhere but can't find it and want to talk about it with my kiddos. I know Bible, Greek mythologies, Shakespeare, and Jane Austen were on the list but can't remember the others. I am trying to search for it but I can't find the thread or list at all. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I think it was part of a "homeschooling in a bunker" type threads. I appreciate any help/ideas/links you can throw my way!

I listen to this song so I can at least smile once during the prep time -

Everything You Need to Ace American History in one Notebook https://www.amazon.com/Everything-Need-American-History-Notebook/dp/0761160833/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1525371745&sr=8-1&keywords=big+notebook+us+history There are questions at the end of each section, but you would need a separate notebook to write the answers. There is a world history one too.

Do you have the test booklet? You could give him the quizes until he does poorly then back up 5-10 lessons and start there. I know of some families who do this at the beginning, review section, of each of the Saxon books.

schoolyourself.org has geometry. Critical Thinking Company has a geometry course as well.

For one kids it is his main math. I sit right by him and read the text and the problems. But he's only 7 and doing level 2. I wouldn't have him do any curriculum independently at this point. I tend to think in terms of 'let's finish these pages' but if he gets too squirrelly we finish. We have a lot of living math books and games that we supplement every math program we do. For my older children it has been a supplement - as in they read the comic books for fun.

Not that I am aware of. My older kids complain that all the fun stuff ends when you hit high school. There is Descartes Cove, but it's not as fun since you can't wander around the world they created. https://www.amazon.com/Johns-Hopkins-Center-Talented-Youth/dp/1881622185

The Science 101 dvd series is coming out with General Science. Unfortunately it won't be ready until late 2018. We are really looking forward to it though. My daughter read through The Rainbow curriculum book this year as a general science course. We didn't do much of the activities (we have other resources she used) but she liked the book and it was doable in a singe school year even though she isn't a terribly fast reader.

We bought it too. I had my daughter look at it and she was sold when she saw the author had a musical background. :-)

Principles of Mathematics by Katherine Loop (sold by Master Books). Christian content, covers all the basics and has some review each day. You could also just buy the Teaching Textbooks workbook. Covers the same stuff as the videos.

We had backed off to doing one lesson every two days (read one day and do the problems the next) so had gotten through most of the year. We just did some online stuff, games, and read some living math books. She really balked at doing the rest of the book since I said we would need to do a lesson a day to finish it within a school year. So the next year we did MEP year 7. She liked being able to do it more independently as well as online.

We tried it with my 6th grader daughter. The math was doable for her but the lessons were too wordy for her. Her reading speed at the time was pretty slow and I wasn't able to read them to her or with her. We ended up dropping it because of the time the lessons were taking because of that. She didn't want all the history, etc - she just wanted to be shown what to do and then get it done. We read living math books and biographies as well so some of the information she had heard before. Not really a negative, I thought the information and the math was fine, just too long for her.

How about games? Prime Climb, Zeus on the Loose and others like them. Also, fun reads like the Sir Cumference Series or The Number Devil or Bedtime Math.

Something like the Enrichment Studies from Simply Charlotte Mason might help fill what you are looking for: https://simplycharlottemason.com/store/enrichment-studies-volume-1/

Not a curriculum (although my son would totally join your coop if he could) but we enjoy Swords An Artist's Devotion by Ben Boos. Some information but wonderful pictures.

Classics to Read Aloud to Your Children and similar books by William Russell

Maybe Math on the Level? https://www.mathonthelevel.com/

Mastering Essential Math Skills? Or these http://www.harcourtschool.com/teacher_resources/math04_ancillaries/ ? Editing as I just saw that one in your signature! Curious now!

I would say no. I think there are many books you can get to help you develop your math teaching skills. (See the books listed at the bottom of this page for a start https://www.livingmath.net/adult-and-hs-lists/)

Definitely not a classic but we have enjoyed the Mr Lemencello Library series. My 20 year old just got the third one and insisted I read it aloud to everyone. I think they just like to laugh at me as I try to say the incredibly convoluted names in the book. :-)

Since she can get math easily, how about the Math Reasoning workbooks from Critical Thinking press? They don't have a ton of reading on each page and the number of problems on each page isn't overwhelming. There is a lot of color, not sure if that is an issue for you all.

If she wants to keep going I would read it with her. That way you can share the emotional load. Especially since the bullies learn their lesson, eventually (if it didn't resolve itself positively I would just skip the book).

Since she's well versed in the Bible I would skip the kid versions and find a simple adult theology book. Visual Theology is good.

Any thing by Toca Boca. The town or city ones are like having a doll house online. Toca cars is really fun. Great open ended play. Dragon Box Numbers. Teach Your Monster to Read.
