There are quite a few field trip oriented homeschool groups in Tacoma; I've lived here for the last 10 years. If you have any questions about the area, feel free to send me a message. Best of luck to you on your move. :)

I'm not Mandy, but I am going to venture a guess that she's referring to this book.

Natalie, I live close to Kay and would be glad to receive cards for her and deliver them together. Let me know if I can help. :)

We will be doing a few activities and reading a few books from this list: 3/14 = Pi Day

I noticed Kay was missing the other day and thought about stopping by her house, but I'm not good at stopping by unannounced. This is sad, sad, news. I will hold my treasured memories of her even more tightly today.

My kids have loved Timez Attack, Universe Sandbox, and playing with Google Earth.

We used Angela's schedule last year and it worked great. MCT Island Schedule

I'd be glad to have some WTM friends on FB. :D ChiknGirl

My Elephant and Piggie loving son also enjoyed the Fly Guy books.

We tried RS4K Biology and didn't like it. We switched to RSO and have completed Biology and Chemistry. RSO is a winner in our house. The kids love it and I find it easy to do. RSO does not require a lot of writing and is easy to add extra reading to.

This has been a favorite for us, as well as anything by this author. Greg's Microscope

Me too, me too, me too! I'm all :bigear: waiting for responses. I'm thinking of some kind of spreadsheet with types of STEM subjects along the top and dates along the side. Then I can fill in descriptions of projects by date and type. I wouldn't include all the dates in the school year though, just the dates that I have a project/activity to add.

We used HO Ancients Level 1 and CHOLL Ancients grammar stage together this year. The timelines didn't match up exactly, but it worked out ok. The kids didn't seem to mind and enjoyed finding the connections to prior readings when they could. I don't know how logic stage would work since there is significantly more reading in HO than there was in the grammar stage. I would say it's worth a try. My kids really enjoyed the books from CHOLL.

:iagree:

http://www.explorationeducation.com/ may be a good choice for you. You could combine them in the same level or have them in different levels because the concepts covered would be the same, just at different depths.
