We are finishing up Primary Math 6. What do we do next? All the secondary levels are super confusing, even after reading the explanations of the Singapore site. Any suggestions? What did you do for math 7 after Primary Math 6, New Elementary Math, New Syllabus Math, or Discovering Math?

We started using Bob Jones when the satellite was an option. It was wonderful being able to pick and choose what classes your kids would take. In elementary mine always did Spelling and English. The classes were short and fun. It was super helpful to be freed to help another kid, knowing that they were still learning. I wouldn't have mine do all the classes, but the curriculum was wonderful, so I never minded teaching it myself, and having them take 2 classes on the DVD's

We just finished 16 weeks of VT. While I wouldn't knock myself out to do really complicated history and science, I'd definitely keep up the 3r's. How long is your VT homework? Ours was only 30 minutes per day, occasionally it went to 40 minutes.

In California we have homeschool public charter school programs. It's a charter school, but you are homeschooling. They allow you a certain ammount of money to spend on curriculum, classes, field trips etc.. per year.

What is CW Homer? I don't recognize it.

Thanks so much! Actually we can order from more than Rainbow, that's just the only place I order from so I have no idea about who else we can order from. I guess I should check into that.
I did tell her she could request a new EF. It sounds like this guy is going to be nothing but a PITB.

We are doing the same Apologia book. My kids are loving it so far. I'll have to join that Yahoo group and check out that book list!

Gosh I can't even remember the name now, it's that Spelling Program that's on cd that Veritas Press sells. My kids hated it, and no one learned how to spell, LOL!

I have a friend who is just starting homeschooling her 3rd and 5th grade girls. She is with the same charter school I am with, but her facililitator is zero help to her. He is supposed to help her choose curriculum etc.. But he literally dropped CA state textbooks off with her and told her that their education her her responsibility, which is true, but she really needed help choosing curriculum.
Sooo anyway, we are allotted certain amount of money for curriculum that the school will buy for us. They will pretty much buy anything from Rainbow Reource that's *not religious*. I need some ideas for her, most of what I use is religious and pay for it myself.
Can someone help me come up with a plan for her that will work for a new homeschooler, who doesn't want to load her kids up with work but doesn't want to be an unschooler either? Her girls are 3rd and 5th. TIA!

Can anyone suggest a good blank timeline? I want an actual line, not a chart. Thanks!

Wow! That's super cool!

We've been using them for a while, and while I like the energy savings, they are a PITB! Ours are constantly burning out, so much for "they last for 5 years" HA!

If you want to see it I'd be happy to email it to you, it's in excel so I don't think I can easily attach it here.I also have a big fact SOTW 4 plan I can send you. :)
I'm in the same boat, using SOTW 4 this year! I'd love to see what you ladies put together. It would be great to not have to create it all myself :001_smile:

THE BJU 7th grade class is fantastic. My oldest did it several years ago. It was hard, I let him take the tests open book. But he learned a ton!
