      Rainbow usually ships within two days for me. Sometimes, it arrives before I've even started to look for it, although I'm spoiled by Amazon Prime.

      I ordered late Tuesday night and my order is due on Wednesday. It shipped on Friday but I didn't get shipping e-mail until this morning. Maybe your order has shipped already too?

      I spoke to them, and apparently they were having issues with their emails and the shipping notice did not go out and it is suppose to be here by Wednesday. :)

  3. DD wants to do special effects makeup for an elective course this year. I am just wondering how to go about creating this course ourselves? I found a really great book on Amazon "Special Makeup Effects for Stage and Screen: Making and Applying Prosthetics" and I thought I would have her work through this book while creating a portfolio of the work she does. Would this work? Has anyone done anything similar and any suggestions are appreciated! We are in New York and I am trying to type up her IHIP so I wanted to double check on how to do this. Thank you!
  4. Thank you! That is what I was wondering if the Plus was a level above the ultimate or below.. Appreciate the info! Ordering the Ultimate 10 :)
  5. Thank you I will check the website.. We have used easy grammar for each grade but I was not sure what the difference was between grade level easy grammar and then easy grammar plus.
  6. I am curious first how long do you continue grammar?? We are entering 10th grade Can anyone explain to me what easy grammar plus consists of ? and when and how long do you use it?? Thank you!
  7. 3 weeks of quiet ... DD is off on vacation with her Oma.

      How exciting!

  12. Okay here are updated 10th grade plans: Math : Power basics Consumer Math Science: Power basics Earth and Space Science History: Finishing world history/geography ( same text as 9th grade) English: Easy Grammar 10, Wordly Wise 10, EIL American Lit Health: Total Health - OR - Oak Meadow - Where can this be purchased and I wasn't sure if it was an online or at home ?? PE Elective: Makeup Artistry Class Or Fashion
  13. Thank you. The test results only gave us a report I didn't see one particular test score. So I will include a copy of that report. I also just put satisfactory or above on each quarter report I did not put a grade, Should I put I final grade in the last one or maybe on the end of year assessment which the the district guidelines say to include. It says focus on growth and achievements for the year. I am just wondering how much detail you all include?? Thank you!
  14. Oh my :ohmy: that makes total sense and I hadn't thought about it that way. Hmmmm.. We will be finishing up World History next year and doing American History in 11th. I guess I should check the reading list for the world before I decide. Thank you!! :thumbup1:
  15. Thanks Debbie! I think if we stick with it I will skip that also because I think she would like the selections for American Lit better ! I didn't like what I saw for the selections in Lit & Comp either!
  16. We used Power basics Biology. To the point and does have lots of activities and labs. I have a labpaq microscope and complete lab set that I used a few years back for my college biology and so it was barely used and still in the packaging with everything included. I think it was $300 new. I would sell it for $100 if your interested let me know.
  17. Well I really liked it, but she is not big on being told what to read, she likes to read but just things that she's interested in or chooses. So it was a bit of struggle to get her into some of the books. We did do some audio which seemed to work well. I was also thinking that it may be easier to find something that combined everything into one instead of having separate grammar vocab etc.. But we may just stick with it because she did like the Wordly Wise and Easy Grammar and of course this will be different readings. I know you said American Lit would be next I was a little confused by the EIL listing because it says Literature and Composition is next then American Lit followed by British and then world. Is there a specific format or do you all just pick and choose which order? Thank you! :)
  18. Okay I am struggling a little so any input would be greatly appreciated! 10th grade plans: Math : Consumer Math ( not sure what we are using yet maybe Lifepacs or powerbasics ) Science: Survey of Astronomy History: Finishing world history/geography ( same text as 9th grade) English: Easy Grammar 10, Wordly Wise 10, Writing Strands 5? - We used EIL intro to Lit for 9th - I am not sure what to do for this year- Suggestions? Health: Has anyone used Total Health?? Or Lifepac Health set?? Suggestions? PE Elective: She wants to do a Makeup Artistry Class - Any suggestions?
  19. Just a quick question... When sending in your 4th quarter report for the year what do you include? My plan was to include the regular report that I have been doing for 9th grade. A copy of the scores from her CAT test. A copy of a transcript that includes actual end of year grade. ( Have not yet put this together, not quite sure of format yet) Also I know some of you mentioned keeping a list of course descriptions for the future but isn't keeping the IHIP enough for this? or do you do a more formal description of the courses for your records.? Thank you! :hurray: We have almost made it through our first year of high school at home!! :hurray: :hurray:
  20. Wow I know I should be planning , however we are just trying to get through this year! One more quarter to go! :hurray: 10th grade ( I just cant believe I am going to have a tenth grader! :ohmy: Feels like I just sent her off to Kindergarten) Global II finishing up our current text. Math we are most likely heading to do a Consumer Math Health Unsure about Literature ( will probably continue the next text of current program) Not sure how long or if we should continue Grammar? Will definitely continue Wordly Wise Science ??? She wants to do a Makeup Artistry Class for an elective So we have a lot of planning
  21. Just another quick question about the testing. When do you normally do the testing? I know I have to let the district know which test we will be using in this next 3rd quarterly report but is there a certain time frame when it should be taken? Thanks! :)
  22. Oh thank you so much for this !! Maybe it will make it slightly more exciting than staring at a textbook! ;)
  23. I was just looking at some of the options you suggested Lori and I am trying to find something reasonable price. So difficult to tell without being able to look them over. I did find the MUS Algebra 1 2002 student text, test booklet , teacher manual on ebay for 9.99 . Does anyone know if this is a good edition or is everything that would be needed? Also Saw the Teaching textbooks Algebra 1 textbook, answer key and test bank with no cds. on ebay but this program seems to be a bit pricey. Going to check amazon and see what they offer and also the local library. Also thank you for the idea of splitting it into two years :) I hadn't thought of that. we may have to do that for Algebra 1. Especially if we switch programs. Thanks!
