  1. Yes, I know it is a big time period so I am trying to narrow it down the best I can and also giving him some choices as well. So yes, any books, resources, web is appreciated. Thanks so much for your ideas!
  2. Hey all, I am having my son before diving into high school sciences do a history/research approach in the sciences before studying each one. I am looking for a book or any resources to help pick some of the most important in the 1900s including theorems in math, science, inventions, and technology. We have already done quite a bit of research and study of scientists prior to the 1900s, but since we are studying modern history next year I wanted to combine that with the science we are studying. Anyone have any thoughts or ideas? TIA!
  3. My thought was Junior analytical grammar…
  4. I am trying to find some type of club or class that offers a small group to interact with others learning engineering/robotics/astronomy/etc. My science kid has enjoyed Aurora's classes at Supercharged Science but he is beyond what she is teaching now although he has loved her. We do not use it as a spine but it is one of his extracurricular activities. 😜 He is only 12. I'd love to find a engineer or physists or anyone in that area who is trying to give back based on their expertise. Always open to something local too but haven't found anything here. TIA!
  5. That's so disappointing to hear...my older sons used their PSAT prep class and it was wonderful. I agree Mr. Piland was great!
  6. No, it is a book of century book from Riverbend Press where kids can put in their dates and drawings/artifacts of things studied in each century. https://www.riverbendpress.com/shop-notebooks/book-of-centuries 🙂
  7. Yes, it is worth it and it lasts! I got one for each of my kids my middle son used it for three years before graduating and it held up wonderfully. Mine is still going strong and my youngest has just begun his. I highly recommend!
  8. Since I teach a class, I have to be extra cautious so that would include sex and language. I don't mind some violence as long as it isn't extreme violence. I'd love to find one of the economic difficulties of the times and for kids to see that life is not all smiles and rainbows. 😛 I also want them to really get a good handle of the times. I can also look at the time period of 1960s and beyond as well, we are already reading a lot on civil rights so if I can focus on other hot topics during that time I am open to any suggestions. As of now, just looking for any novel that really impacted you or your kids during that era. It is a difficult time frame to find some good living books. Thanks!
  9. Yes, I agree that is a good one but we read that in our last history rotation. 😞
  10. Yes! It takes a little time to wrap your head around because it includes all of the subjects and everything your kids would need but it was worth it to me so I had more time to devote to lesson prep instead of the curriculum planning. 🙂
  11. I think the biggest thing is to revisit ideas and to circle back. I have found you can't just say it once, discuss, and move on. I love MCT but it needs to be done in a specific way in my experience for it to stick. There are so many great ideas and his approach is so enlightening but I do feel that completing the curriculum just going through it is not the way. We have used the grammar books and his writing books and if you go at a slower pace alternating books and using both ideas and then incorporating writing into your child's lessons and not just pulling them out and not working on them will help.
