  1. Apologia science is what we use, a big reason is because of the audiobooks! It's funny, because I have a few of those suggestions in print, and didn't think they were in audiobook. Thank you for responding.
  2. My 13 yo math lover, doesn't like to read books, but listens to audiobooks all the time. I have Mystery of history books, that I went through with my older kids, but I would prefer to let this kiddo listen to audiobooks to learn about history. All the books would have to be available through the library, (unless it's a curriculum) which a lot of Sonlight books are not. Any suggestions? I'm open to curriculum or list of books, I just don't have time to pull a ton of things together for this.
  3. Oh that's a great idea and way to handle it. I put his college classes on his high school transcript, because other wise he would have only maybe 4 classes that he took outside of dual credit classes.
  4. My son will be graduating with his Associates degree in the spring, at the same time as high school. I'm working on his transcript to send to a 4 year college...last minute he decided to try and get accepted! He took English 1 at home. Then Comp 1 at the community college. Then he took a CLEP test that was transferred to his community college as AMER lit 2 and Brit lit 2 , I counted it as 2 credits of high school English, but I don't know how to put it on the transcript to look the best. One option is to just list the two college classes as two lit classes, similar to the college transcript. They have a section that says CLEP exams and then list the 2 classes under that. Another option I have thought about is listing the classes each with a note that they were credit give from CLEP exam. 3rd option is to list each class, then as a note at the bottom of the English section write that they are from CLEP credit. I don't want the admissions to think that he only has 3 credits of English. He has 9 hrs of college credit for English.
  5. My oldest has a 2 week break before he starts his summer college classes. He still has a year of high school left. I want to quickly cover some personal finance things with him, but I need direction. We talk about money and finance things around him so he it isn't new to him. Is there a checklist for things the kids should know. I'm thinking along the lines of how to write a check, how to balance a checking account, how to pay bills, compound interest etc. Not really a curriculum but something that will catch the little things I will miss teaching, because I do it all the time; or the really big things because I haven't done them in 20 years. Thanks
  6. My 15 yr old kiddo reads really slooooow. I've never seen the need to test her, we just work at her speed and she does just fine. But she is going to take a CLEP test that requires reading passages, and she can't finish the test in time. Any advice on getting her the accommodations for longer test times? THSC has a thing for members to make a homeschool IEP, I'm not a member but I will if that's what she needs. I wouldn't even know where to get her tested, outside of the public school system. TL/DR : how to get accomodations for CLEP test to extend test time.
  7. Do you have a link to their German program? I must be looking at the wrong place, I couldn't find anything reasonably priced.
  8. I've been researching Spanish for my kids, I have read here and other places that the OSU classes were great etc. But I looked and with fees and out of area charges it was going to be like $3k per class. Is that what some of you are paying for one class? Hopefully I'm missing something. Please show me the error in my ways (maybe a link?) Other Spanish curriculum suggestions would be helpful too! I have 2 high school kids and a middle schooler who will be next in line, with zero Spanish experience but 2 years Memorial Press Latin. Edit: Our local community college is $100 per credit hour.
  9. No worries, I'm learning from your questions! I'm glad you asked.
  10. Lots of options and ideas. I knew it wasn't as cut and dry as it looked.
  11. I agree! We have covered lots of things along these lines in the elementary grades, but not a true biology class. I'm going to look into several other suggested resources and see if I can find one that suits him better. Thanks for the responses
  12. Thank you for the links. I'll look through them with my boy and see what he thinks about it.
