Any thoughts on this? I'm at that point of rethinking everything and am considering switching my 11th grader to this instead of the SWB Ancient world book

WOW! that one is half the price and i love that we can try it out first!!

Thanks! he's 17. i think i'll probably go with the master class even though its a tad pricey.

Bump

does anyone know of a curriculum that focuses on anatomical drawing?

NO, I'm glad to know about FBA as well. Particularly since I am having trouble finding books that qualify under trade in :)

Nope! I was thinking of trade in, though I didn't know there was a difference😜 Thanks so much everyone!!

So how has this worked for you? I'm speaking of the kind of selling where you pack a bunch of books up and send them to Amazon to sell.

Dick blick for art supplies, if you'd like more science academyofscienceforkids.com has some really cool looking kits!

If you have LOTS of money to spend http://www.academyofscienceforkids.com

Depending on developmental level, MBTP 4-5 might be perfect. It might be too easy though. It comes with a whole trunk full of crafts

Thanks!! We did this yesterday and he LOVED it!!

What's the great courses plus?

Exactly! We're doing ancients next year but I think I need to find fun topics to study till then or else he's going to grow up hating HS :(

Nope. His friends moved and only mean kids remain and his similarly aged siblings are in school, only his 17yo brother is also HSed. Nature stuff- great idea!!

Thanks everyone! He's 6. I think part of the problem might be that in my attempt to shorten the day and lessen his work, I've eliminated the fun parts! Oops. Maybe I'll try adding stuff BACKin. Also it is spring... He hasn't wanted to play outside much. I should make him.

I'm about to lose my mind with this child. He's super smart but pitches a fit every. Single. Time. I try to work with him. I've intentionally kept it brief, for both of our sanity, just the basics, math, explode the code, spectrum reading, italic handwriting (which he alternates with etc alternate days) and hopefully a read aloud chapter. So very minimalistic. Any ideas about what to do to motivate him? Threatening with PS won't work because he'd rather go to school (or so he thinks!!)

Here's mine. My upcoming 10th grader might also be homeschooling next year, fingers crossed!

Yeah, why would they call them grades if they are really levels. It must be a recent thing.

This is my friend Val's. It's really good. http://www.collectingthemoments.com/

Aww.... I can so relate. I'm currently trying to convince my 9th grader to HS. She's young. Can you just pull an "I'm the mom and know what's best for you, we're homeschooling" card?

this is probably a dumb question. do you just set aside time weekly or daily and treat it like a class?

You guys are so helpful!

Thanks! It was timberdoodle that I found it. I've been putting together a secular version of their curriculum sets for my upcoming 10th and 11th graders. They are Christian, but I'm not, so I guess it's not the end of the world for it to be religious, and it seems like it would be a really good supplement to the PAC integrated physics/chemistry. I just have been trying to make our schoolwork as secular as possible while still being largely independent.
