  4. I'm interested in what others have to say too!
  5. I seem to only have the basic chilis and soups...I would love for you to share if you happen to have a favorite "summer" recipe... Thanks!
  6. We will be attending a wedding in late July in San Francisco..but plan to spend a couple days in the Santa Cruz area. Any must sees?, favorite restaurants? Thank you! Michelle
  7. If so, what program or freebie have you found online? Thanks in advance, Michelle
  8. Wow! Thanks Lori D! I really appreciate the list and details! Thanks, also, for everyone's replies....My ds is at camp for a few days and I'm going to get to work with planning our year! Michelle
  9. Thanks Countrygirl! How often did you work a dvd into the schedule? Did that replace the workbook lesson for the day?

  12. Thanks so much for the info Lori! These will be perfect. Thanks for sharing! Michelle
  13. I have the Teacher Book which includes what to work on for the week, but I was hoping to have a daily plan. Any ideas? Thanks so much, Michelle
  14. We don't have a microscope, so I was wondering if any of you have found any sites that may be used instead? We 're doing the Marine Biology next year and plan to do the dissections..we just need something hopefully online, to view various slides. Thanks!
  15. I would love any books you could recommend to round out our World Geography course next year. I'm looking for 10 or so... Thanks so much everyone:-) Michelle
  16. We will be doing Marine Biology along with the Red Wagon Tutorials next year...Are there any virtual labs for this? Did you do all of the labs in the text ? Just wondering what the options might be as we cannot afford a microscope right now...What did your course look like?....Thanks! Michelle
  17. My dd will be in 10th next year. She took Apologia Biology at the co-op and loved it and did well in the class. My question is, is it necessary to take Chemistry this year? She was thinking about the Adv. Biology Anatomy and Physiology ( Apologia) ? Do you know if there are any special math requirements for this class? I know for Chemistry they wanted Alg. 1 completed and she won't be finished with algebra 1 until the fall. Biology Adv. biology Chemistry ? Physics? she needs that fourth year ...any other recommendations? Thanks so much for your thoughts.. Michelle
  18. Thanks for your reply Julie. This will be our first year of MFW..I didn't realize it's only been out a short while. Now I get it! :)
  19. Ok, I know this sounds silly, but did you find it really hard to buy pre-owned? I have looked and looked..and am wondering if it would be cheaper for me to just try and buy all of the items separately, used....? I would love to get it brand new, but it's just not possible right now. My husband has just started working again after a 6 mo. layoff...so we're needing to catch up on everything! Any thoughts? Wouldn't it be wonderful if MFW took payment plans?! :confused: Thanks for your time! M
  20. Does this course use Notgrass World History as a "spine"? I was looking over the site and their package deals.....and it wasn't included. Just trying to clarify. Thanks! M:)
  21. My dd (15) will start a foreign language for the first time next year ( 10th)..How long is Latin taken for? Are colleges accepting this if taken for 3 years in high school? Also, what program would you recommend? She would also like to take French, but from I understand , learning other languages is easier if you have had latin first? Thanks for any info you can share! I am at a total loss on this one! Michelle
  22. We have been homeschooling for 2 years and I just can't figure out what to use with him to instill a love of learning. We have tried so many different things with him. Honestly, I don't know what to do at this point. I'm not sure if he has a LD ..he was just tested for Dsylexia and we are waiting to hear back. I know he loves anything hands on. ( Science is his favorite) His biggest struggle is reading, writing and comprehension. I have spent this semester reading our History aloud , and even though the lessons are short..he can't answer any of the questions . We are planning to go back through 8th grade again...I'm thinking maybe Unit Studies or ? Any suggestions you have would be helpful and much appreciated. I'm honestly at the point of...should I send him back to PS....I just know we're not making headway at home..and I have no idea what to try next! Thanks
