Penn Foster v. American Correspondence School
Bloggermom replied to Vanna's topic in High School and Self-Education Board
I am very interested in American School of Correspondence myself. Any experiences? :lurk5: -
You will need the teachers manual for the level 100s. Starting in the 200s your child should be able to work on it without you needing to teach anything from the manual.

3rd grade math - MM or TT with CLE?
Bloggermom replied to Mommy22alyns's topic in K-8 Curriculum Board
Why not add something online based such as Math Whizz whizz.us Dreambox dreambox.com or Mathletics mathletics.com That way you can cover any gaps, yet your child can have some fun with it? They get the paper/pencil work with CLE and get to use the computer to see math in a different view. (I can get a lot more math work out of my kids using this approach):tongue_smilie: -

I need a self-directed, independent spelling program
Bloggermom replied to SandKsmama's topic in K-8 Curriculum Board
My 5 year old and 3 year old LOVE Click N Read Phonics! I actually bought Click N Spell this morning after posting what I did earlier. I LOVE things that teach without me having to give constant attention. I have 6 kids I am homeschooling here so I need all the help I can get. ;) -

My kids are doing great with Prima Latina. There is no fluff so they can get a lot out of it in a short amount of time. My kids are retaining it very well.

Any "non traditional" ways of schooling?

Questions about the LDS (Mormon) faith
Bloggermom replied to MamaSheep's topic in General Education Discussion Board
I am also a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (a.k.a The Mormons) I have a deep love of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I am thankful that He died and suffered for my sins so I could be forgiven through his atoning blood. I am thankful that our Heavenly Father has provided a way for families to be together forever and not "until death do you part". -

Raise your hand if you are using a loop schedule this year.
Bloggermom replied to rafiki's topic in K-8 Curriculum Board
I wanted to bump this because I have been LOVING my loop schedule. I do it a bit differently though... I have a separate loop for each child because they are all doing different curriculum. I just keep the documents open on my computer for each one to see what they each have to do next. I love not having a set amount to do each day, but we do all we can in the time we do have. Here is a little example of one of my kid's schedule: (It actually has over 1,000 items on it, but i'll post the first 35 or so. I just delete the top one when it is done and work on the next. When I want to add more in I just add them throughout the schedule) Darren Loop Schedule Reading, Writing, Grammar, Math, History, Science, Latin, Spanish Life Science - Lesson: Topic Test Math Whizz – 30 Minutes Bible – Read 1 Chapter Writing – A Reason for Handwriting B (pg 33) Structured Literature Reading – 30 Minutes MS Spanish 1 – Lesson 68, 69 & 70 Aleks Math – Master 1 Topic (87 out of 282) Language Arts 7 - Lesson: Topic Test Math Whizz – 30 Minutes Discovery Streaming - Empires: The Greeks: Crucible of Civilization: The Golden Age (55) Prima Latina Lesson 1 – Part 1 MS World History - Lesson: Persian Attacks on the Greeks Structured Literature Reading – 30 Minutes Life Science - Lesson: Introduction to Plant Reproduction Aleks Math – Master 1 Topic (88 out of 282) Prima Latina Lesson 1 – Part 2 Structured Literature Reading – 30 Minutes MS Spanish 1 - Complete Lessons 71, 72 & 73 Dreambox – 30 Minutes Language Arts 7 - Lesson: Communication: Responding to Literature MS World History - Lesson: The Age of Pericles Bible – Read 1 Chapter Structured Literature Reading – 30 Minutes Prima Latina Lesson 1 – Part 3 Aleks Math – Master 1 Topic (89 out of 282) Life Science - Lesson: Topic Test Language Arts 7 - Lesson: Grammar: Irregular Verbs Structured Literature Reading – 30 Minutes Prima Latina Lesson 1 – Part 4 Aleks Math – Master 1 Topic (90 out of 282) MS Spanish 1 - Complete Lessons 74, 75 & 76 MS World History - Lesson: Topic Test Structured Literature Reading – 30 Minutes Life Science - Lesson: Cumulative Exam Prima Latina Lesson 1 – Part 5- 63 replies
