  1. My daughter has done high school level biology (in a local class) and is doing chemistry this year (with Great Courses chemistry videos + supplements). Next year we were planning for her to do physics. She's a very bright girl and plans to go to a competitive college. Although she can handle difficult coursework, she has no plans to go into the sciences and really has no interest in science. I just want to check the high school science box (and of course make sure she has a decent understanding). Does anyone have any recommendations? Oh, she has taken Algebra I and Geometry, and will be taking Algebra II next year. Thanks!
  2. We eat hot food if we're warming up leftovers. We occasionally have mac & cheese (my son's very favorite food) or grilled cheese. But other than that, it's cold sandwiches or tortillas always!
  3. My nearly 8 yo's drawings are very hard to tell apart from his 5 yo brother's! So, no, I wouldn't be too concerned. My 8 yo doesn't enjoy drawing and has some trouble with fine motor skills, and my 5 yo enjoys art. It stands to reason that they have different abilities and interests!:)
  4. It has very little. I think the idea is that you can do 8/7 or Alg 1/2, but you don't need to do both unless your child is struggling. We were thinking of going with a math class this year, and they have the kids skip 8/7 and go straight to Pre-Algebra. That's how we settled on this sequence.
  5. It's my understanding that 8/7 is mostly a repeat of 7/6.
  6. Or, alternatively, you can do 7/6, skip 8/7, and go to Algebra 1/2. That's what my dd is doing.
  7. We have the same dynamic here. Child #1 was practically born reading and loves all things academic. Child #2 doesn't. It's hard to let go of those ideals, especially when you have one child that excels in the traditional route. I just can't wait to see what's in store with my child #3! :)
  8. I can't wait to see it. I loved the Ramona books when I was a kid. I guess I need to get busy reading it to my boys so we can go see the movie!
  9. Love it! My dh and I got a big kick out of the pics!
  10. You're definitely not the only one! I enjoy homeschooling, but we're really enjoying the summer and not looking forward to it ending! I love having the freedom to do whatever we want to do every day without worrying about getting our work done.
  11. Last year my 5th grader did about 4 hours a day, 4 times a week. That doesn't count music practice (~45 min/day) or independent reading (~1-2 hours/day).
  12. My ds is doing Saxon 3, and we've never used the meeting book with him. I did use it for a while with my dd when she was younger, but it got to be too tedious/time consuming and we stopped using it.
