    I feel that Middle School Science should be relaxed with focusing on areas of interest but also covering a bit from each discipline (ie. bio, chem, physics, earth science, astronomy, etc). Focusing a whole year on one discipline may turn them off of it and they have to do it in High School anyway.

    Hi, I'm looking for resources (free to low cost) to fulfill the following elective for which I found the description in the district handbook: CAREER & MONEY MANAGEMENT (1/2 yr.) Want to learn how to make and manage your money? Then Career & Money Management is for you! This one-semester course will explore career opportunities, ways to climb the “corporate ladder,†and how to own your own business. You will develop a career plan, learn to write a resume, practice interviewing skills and learn how to “dress for success,†all while balancing a checkbook and exploring life as a consumer. Thanks. shamima .

    DD started reading historical fiction when she turned 10 right when we started homeschooling. She loved Ann Rinaldi's books and started collecting books by her, all bought used from library sales.

    Good to know someon else who couldn't read the Hobbit. I couldn't read it and didn't even try Lord of the Rings. My ds 11 had me watch the movies with him and I really enjoyed them. I don't think any of my kids have read Lord of the Rings except DD read the Hobbit and liked it. I don't think I'm making any other kids read it unless they decide to do so on their own.

    Kira Kira was an amazing book. There are descriptions of poultry factory which may bother some kids. There was also some talk of making a baby. We were fine with it though. Great historical fiction about Japanese family's life in the US.

    CK12.org sounds like a goldmine. We've been doing Nebel for years and really like the multiple topics to keep it interesting.I really would like to keep it this way until ds gets to 9th grade. Still got 2 more years!

    Ever since I read 'The Good Earth' as a teenager and learned that it was written by a 'white' woman. I was so curious about her and how she came to know the Chinese people so well. Just recently, I obtained 'Pearl of China'. It is a historical fiction and tribute to Pearl S. Buck by a chinese writer. Pearl, of all the people in the world, deserved to return to China. She wasn't born there but she loved China and its people more than any chinese. The missionary connection is that Pearl's father was a missionary and that's how the family ended up there. Anyway, it's a beautiful book and I don't recall any inappropriate parts. shamima

    This is great information. I have a 4th grader who's a budding writer. She currently attends creative writing classes. I'll keep this information handy.

    DS likes building things. So we did robotics this year. He really got into it and could explain all aspect of the robot they built to swim, float, and fetch stuff. We along w/ 3 other kids, one being his younger sister competed and the team brought home 2 trophies - both on presentations. They were the youngest team out of the 4 teams participating and did a 10 minute oral presentation w/o any written aid. They were organized in their written presentation as well and got 1st place. It's too bad we can't compete all year long. He's also looking forward to building w/ trash art class but wants to make things for use. He likes to learn hands-on and would make a great apprentice. But where shall I find one to take him on. He wants to build his own desk and workbench and not to mentioned a go-cart w/ some electronic features. He'd like to become an engineer but when I mention rigor of the academics, he balks and says he's changed his mind :-( Very challenging. He's 11.5 yrs old and I'm waiting for maturity to come - isn't it 14? shamima
