[Jann's in TX PreA I & II compared to Derek Owens PreA]

Can anyone compare the two online programs? Textbooks?jann uses Lial's textbook and it is not very user friendly.

[Singapore 6A Standards Is it a Must prior to Pre-Algebra]

Thank you!!!!

[Singapore 6A Standards Is it a Must prior to Pre-Algebra]

DD 11 has used Singapore all the way through 5B, now we are taking a break and reviewing basic concepts using the Key To Series, Zaccarro's series, IP/CWP and Process Skills book. For those who have used 6A what are the benefits? Is it a must before pre-algebra?

 

Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

My 5 year old DD loves it. She asks to do her Dino class several times during the day. It's very interactive - an excellent course for kids!

[Favorite Online Pre-Algebra or Algebra]

[What group class would you offer for K/1?]

These are great ideas! pegs, do you have a favorite poet for children? Robert Louis Stevenson, Edward Lear has alphabet poems, hmm I'm going to think about this as it seems like it would be fun. I like the craft idea along with the poem. Sky is the limit as to the themes for the classes....

 

A group art class is also an idea, we use Home art Studio K level and my dd really enjoys it. There is never enough art in the home. Maybe combining art with poetry, hmm??

 

Thanks for your ideas!!!

[I need a dictionary for the kids.]

Of course it is so much easier for the kids to look up words online, however the skill of learning to use a dictionary is invaluable. We've been using The American Heritage Student Dictionary since the early years with my DD and it is an excellent resource.

[What are you currently reading aloud?]

The Wolves of Willoughby Chase by Joan Aiken. A great book about determined, intelligent girls - my girls are loving it!!

[Looking for computer programming online course for ds8 and ds11]

We are doing a class from Minecraft Homeschool. There are many options in terms of interest and ability. Classes run 5 weeks and range in fee from 9.95 - 15.95. minecrafthomeschool.com

[Khan Academy]

Thank you for this post!! Khan Academy can be used in numerous ways. I am excited to continue expanding how I use it as a resource. My DDs have so many interests and want to learn about anything and everything that it is nice to have a very organized program at ones disposal.

[Lightning literature?]

I agree with Connections we also took an online G3 class and were greatly disappointed. The discussion in class and the forums were too basic. I found the same to be true with Athena courses, ie the literature ones. I am weary of any type of online class now, you never know what to expect.
