Just posted on FB page: Have you heard of SchoolHouse Teachers? It is an online source of over 300 classes for all ages. It is run by The Old SchoolHouse Magazine. My kids take some courses from it, but I will now be trying to compensate from my losses at Landry with other classes. https://schoolhouseteachers.com/dap/a/?a=35134 SchoolhouseTeachers.com - Homeschool Curriculum for Everybody SCHOOLHOUSETEACHERS.COM

From Chris L on FB: I'm so touched by the outpouring of support by the online home-school community. We have received offers by both "LIVE Online Math" (liveonlinemath.com) and "The Potter's School" (pottersschool.org) to use their systems for nominal fees so that we can still teach our spring classes. Of course, Greg Landry has written about Veritas (www.VeritasPress.com) as well. Teachers are busy considering these and other options. I'm hoping to connect with my students/families about my plan soon. AND: Of course, members of our own faculty have gone on to create their own systems so they can continue to teach. Check out Excelsior Classes (excelsiorclasses.com) and Big River Academy (www.bigriveracademy.com).

Thanks. I'll look at my son's Latin teacher's emails. She at least has our emails already. The spring classes hadn't kicked in yet. I can contact 2 of the three of them via FB. Thanks. Wow! This has totally occupied my day... :thumbdown:

Are the teachers able to get their lists? I haven't gotten any emails, though I've "talked" to Chris L on FB. Should I text them my contact info?

Any suggestions for good, free, online Art Classes (besides Youtube)? My dd was going to take Intermediate Art. I'm hoping to hear from the teacher, which may give me some direction. THX

Found it as I scrolled down. Here is a copy/paste: Chris Leingang In an effort to make sure families know all their options, I am pasting here information from an email received, sent by Greg Landry, which contains an invitation from Marlin Detweiler at Veritas Press. I'm guessing (hoping) families will receive a similar email today. ============== As you may know, Veritas Press is a curriculum provider and, like Landry Academy, offers online course to Christian schools and homeschool families. You can learn more about us at www.VeritasPress.com. In an effort to help families, we have come up with a plan to offer our classes to students who are currently enrolled in classes at Landry Academy. It is an effort to help these families as best we can. The opportunity includes reduced rates on second semester classes for this school year and using already purchased generic credits from Landry toward the 2017 – 2018 school year classes at Veritas. ============== There is more in the letter regarding teachers, so I have truncated that portion.

Where on that page are you seeing that?

Before 2pm ET : Ledgers (your credits transferred info) Teacher contact info (some of them have their phone numbers) Assignments Assessments Transcripts Student Info Dashboard Credit Card info Account info I saved everything I could find, basically before 2pm hits.

Thank you

Those with Xfinity or something like it should find it and The Hollow Crown:The Wars of the Roses 'On Demand'. It's on Great Performances.

Would you link the other thread please? I was depending upon Landry for my dd' s Biology for 2017/18; not to mention Latin 1B (The 2nd part of a slower paced Latin Alive course of .5 credit) I pray they work this out. Thanks

Anything about DT is one of our favorites! The only performers missing were Derek Jacobi, Kenneth Brannaugh, Patrick Stewart, Emma Thompson, and Michael Gambon. Skip the rapper and put a skit together with just those and it would've been perfect. The Hamlet skit was to die for (maybe wrong word choice? ;) Only the Brits could make a serious Hamlet into a laugh-out-loud absolute riot. Dame Judi Dench and Helen Mirren were marvelous. John Lithgow represented America quite well. Benedict Cumburbatch is...well...awesome. willing to take the brunt. The monologue chosen for Ian McKellen was totally PC and politically-motivated; but I ignored my inner-cring and just enjoyed his voice and performance. Wasn't impressed with the R & J sequence, but LOVED the following ballet sequence of same scene. I give it a 8/10 rating. Enjoy!

I think only until March, PBS is showing the tribute show from the Royal Shakespeare Company on the 400th Anniversary of Shakespeare's passing, hosted by David Tennant and Catherine Tate. I enjoyed most of it, skipped only a couple of parts (sorry, can't do the rapping of Shakespeare); recommend. (Additionally, the second season of The Hollow Crown) http://www.pbs.org/video/2365919850/

Lori said My first thought was actually 'Doctor Who'! That's exactly what happens in episodes with supposedly supernatural elements in the trailers; but you can't jump to conclusions because they always come up with a creative explanation for it within the episode.

Rappacini's Daughter- Hawthorne

This may be helpful: On "Secrets of the Dead" on PBS, there's currently an episode streaming called " Van Gogh's Ear". If you have Roku, it's streaming until 1/10/17.

Would you elaborate please? What do you consider to be the differences between the two materials and why do you prefer the US His. Det.? I have the first Critical Thinking in US History CD-Rom, but am still curious about about whether US Det. would be better, so I'd appreciate your input since you have experience with both. Thanks

Inspired Scholar. She uses Writeshop. http://www.inspired-scholar.com/junior-high-classes.html I've been very pleased for my two. There is some style expectations in the Writwshop course. She is partly preparing them to be able to write for what's expected on the SAT, etc. She is patient.

That's very kind; you're welcome! I thought I'd provide another Atlas alternative to help in your decision (it may be more updated and colorful than the others) and a book that goes more into some explaining about the laws, prophets, messianic prophecy, and wisdom lit. An intelligent and educated believer's complementary balance to some of what you'll find in the academics of the Jewish Study Bible. Zondervan Essential Atlas of the Bible - Carl Rasmussen A New Look at the Old Testament - Derek Leman ( warning, having heard him and read his other materials, his treatment of Creation may or may not jive with yours; just a heads-up) BTW, I forgot to mention that the Jewish Study Bible comes from the Documentary Hypothesis school of Biblical literary analysis as opposed to Mosaic authorship, among other things. That doesn't change the historical realities, but it does change the belief of when and by whom books were written and/or compiled (ex: a I, II, and III Isaiah authorships, based historical reading of the text versus just a "one" Isaiah who wrote all of it). This may or may not be an issue for you. If it is, the JSB may not be a good fit. Let me know if that's an issue and I'll see what I can find to take it's place. Adding to the Jewish History category in survey style which may be useful to you (or parts of it for understanding) at some point: Jewish Literacy Revised Ed: The Most Important Things to Know About the Jewish Religion, Its People, and Its History by Rabbi Joseph Telushkin HTH

Thank you. This makes sense and also saves me about $20!

I would like experience opinions on whether it matters with this series of lectures if it's the DVD version or the CD version and why you prefer one or the other. It seems that since it's a poetry course, then visuals aren't as important. Thanks!

For Contextual events surrounding the events recorded in the Hebrew Bible and NT studies, I recommend these resources: (these will appeal to different ages) Free map resource: http://jewishhistory.huji.ac.il/links/maps.htm The Temple Institute site has many helpful offerings (no pun intended) The Jewish Study Bible from the Jewish Publication Society-the annotations and notes before the books are excellent These two resources together: The Jewish New Testament by David Stern, The Jewish New Testament Commentary - Stern The Jewish Annotated New Testament - edited by Dr. Amy-Jill Levine (featured Prof. in The Great Courses).

Don't always agree on his conclusions, but he is very scholarly) Wanderings: Chaim Potok's History of the Jews – a narrative telling of 4,000 yrs.

Church – Maccabees – FREE Other resources: 5000 Years of Jewish History in 5 Hours – R. Berel Wein audio lecture/cds (good stuff-disagree with his conclusion on Paul and if you listen further, on T.

Nanos Same author, more familiar book: The Mystery of Romans: The Jewish Context of Paul's Letters Others by Jewish scholars of note: Paul Was Not a Christian: The Original Message of a Misunderstood Apostle -Pamela Eisenbaum( professor of Biblical studies and Christian origins at Iliff, and is associate faculty of the Center for Judaic Studies at the University of Denver) and an interesting and controversial read by Talmudic Scholar Daniel Boyarin: The Jewish Gospels: The Story of the Jewish Christ I know this is a lot, so I hope you enjoy researching through them to see what suits your needs best. At bare minimum, The Jewish Study Bible and the Jewish New Testament with its Commentary; an atlas, Wanderings by Potok, and the Timechart would be invaluable.

Follow-up: Using these at the high school level, in what ways did you have your children show comprehension or understanding; make it deeper than just "watching a lecture"? For example (but not limited to): -mapping the area discussed -narrations -short essay for each segment Thanks again

Thanks ya'll! Yes, I just glanced over the ones I received via Audible, but I hope they will come in handy for my own records (i.e. syllabus write-ups) and give me assistance in scheduling.

Yes, thank you, that's what I mean. How is it delivered?
