  1. We are a small troop of 6 daisies that is splitting up at the end of this year. I do have trouble getting feedback like you. I was out sick (surgery/fall/sepsis/near death) and three moms decided to start their own without talking to any of the other moms. Getting health histories and permission slips is near impossible.
  2. Galloping the globe? We really enjoyed that year.
  3. Age? Height? Weight? Symptoms? Lowest bp? Highest bp?
  4. I am looking for an introductional type of devotional for my 11 yo dd. We are Presbyterian but don't care that much about denomination.
  5. Nationwide dentists and dental schools are moving to interceptive orthodontia. It is pretty standard to need phase two several years after interceptive treatment.
  6. Do I need the teacher book? Or is the student book enough?
  7. So now she wants to go next year for 6th. I'm thinking of adding in JAG. Could that be completed in 10 weeks? We will get through mm 5b and maybe 6a. Get through RS spelling 5/6 and something for writing. Maybe EM daily?
  8. There is a lot of writing in nursing school now. Chemistry and medical terminology will be helpful.
  9. We may just do eltl next year and then add in as needed the second semester and 7th grade.
  10. Thanks! We did eiw last year but she was bored. Maybe a higher level? She is flying through math now. It finally clicked. No my plan is to get her through 5&6 this year and next and do pre algebra in 7th. Eltl is grammar and writing and literature. Maybe we will be ok without any additional grammar.
  11. My rising 6th grader wants to go to high school for sports. We have 2-3 yards to shore up any weaknesses and get her ready. I don't know if we will go public or private as yet. I am strongly considering sending her for 8th as a transition year. Thoughts comments on starting at 8th vs jumping in for 9th? Next thing is our plan for the next few years. If you see holes, please point me out and suggest things to fill that gap. I was out of commission for 2 months and nothing got done. I nearly died from post op complications and we are just now getting back. I have decided on new curriculum for LA and we are backing up to get a solid foundation. Math: She is in MM 4. We had the back track as she got really hung up on multiplication. We supplemented with some LOf and pulled out of 4 altogether to do mult, div, fractions, decimals and percentage in the blue series. We Use math year round so she will keep going until we get through Pre algebra by 7th. Planning for Algebra 1 in 8th. Spelling: She is going to work through RS spelling 3-8. We are currently doing a lesson a day 3-5 days per week. We went back because all her spelling fell out of her brain. Vocab: Nothing planned yet. I hear RS spelling 7&8 are like vocab. She did classical roots 4&5 this year but hated it. Writing: currently using Wordsmith apprentice. I don't know what to use next year if anything at all as we will be using ELTL 4&5. She needs writing practice. We will probably take eltl all the way. Recommendations for additional writing instruction? Grammar: it looks like eltl has enough grammar, but I have also considered having her go through analytical grammar. Science: we do nasa club and she also gets science through Girl Scouts. Next year our theme is the prairie primer which has a broad range of topics. We will also do something with engineering, monarch butterflies and start following Ruth's suggestions for science. http://forums.welltrainedmind.com/topic/512190-science-posts-organized-by-topic/. I want her to have some more content knowledge and scientific method/experimental design experience. We did life science, no physics or bio yet. I want to use this subject to get her familiar with reading textbooks. Recommendations? History: she does history club which is focusing on ancient civilizations right now. I want to get in American history and government as well as a good but broad world history. We have not really done history at all ever. No flames please! Recommendations? Geography: we did galloping the globe for two years and some Evan Moore geography. This summer we are doing geography through art. Computer: I want something for typing and Microsoft office. Recommendations? Time management. Breaking down long term projects. Testing with a time limit. Any other skills to shore up?
  12. Notability. I can import documents and photos and mark them up or just start a new doc and have the option to write, type or highlight in different colors.
  13. Legos or math Manipulatives can keep little hands busy while their brains listen.
  14. Is she aware that she can issue a diploma as well? She is absolutely not required to use one from her county. I live in Baltimore County and my umbrella is in Harford County.
  15. Yes! Where is the purple pencil thread?!
