Hello, I am looking for a pen pal for my just turned 10 year old girl. She just started 5th grade and LOVES to write letters but doesn't have any pen pals this year and would love a couple. If you are interested please contact me and we can swap info. Thanks so much!!! Melinda jmchapin@earthlink.net

I really appreciate your info it makes me feel a lot better in purchasing Algebra I - Math is NOT my thing, but it seems like TT is an awesome way to go if you aren't so good at teaching math :0) I love what I have seen online and think this program will be great for my daughter. Actually I am going to use the 5th grade program too w/ my younger dd.

I just did NOT want to have to repeat pre-algebra with her - I would love to hear from any others as well. :0)

My daughter took the placement test for Algebra 1 and she got 7 correct on section 1 and 5 on section 2 - It says you should score Section 1 - 10 correct Section 2 - 8 correct To start Algebra 1 - do you think her score was close enough? I was really hoping she could start Algebra 1 (she will be in 9th) We have worked through MOST of Lial's Basic College Math but are so ready to just end it and take a break. What would you do? Does Algebra 1 cover enough pre-algebra in the beginning for her to be ok? HELP!!!!

I couldn't stand not buying anything - I guess if you aren't that type of person it would be good research. but for me NO WAY

Does the following and I don't feel it is too much at all - of course she doesn't do them ALL each day - we have a schedule to alternate. Math - Lial's Basic College Math Science - Usborne books & summary pages along w/ united streaming Grammar/Writing - Bob Jones Spanish - Rosetta Stone Literature - Lightning Lit Geography - United Streaming & various geography books & worksheets that I own Spelling - apples spelling 2 pages daily Vocabulary - list I create each week for her to study (next year we will use Vocabulary from Classical Roots again)

It is a great program I am using it with my 4th & 8th Graders - Oh, and me too!!! :D

I recommend Bob Jones - it is really good!

off of amazon - at a GREAT price. One of the best purchases I've made

We actually used Core 5 in 7th Grade & we enjoyed it very much.

Most people won't agree with me but you should check out School of tomorow paces - they are so simple to use. Also, Sonlight is great OR the All-in-one curriculums that cover all subjects and include EVERYTHING you do day by day. Just some thoughts...

We use Wordly Wise & Bob Jones for Spelling (4th grade)
