  1. I am currently in a math slump. Our kids haven't always homeschooled (the older ones at least) and I am now faced with a child ready for high school in the fall seriously lacking in math. This year, we used TT, but I feel he needs something mastery based. I purchased MM, but am unsure about it, and am looking at MUS Epsilon for him. I am just scratching my head.....:confused:
  2. I am one of those you speak of, I stand by my convictions. Alcohol still has no place in our society today, in my opinion, it wrecks so many lives and families. I am very conservative, but I try to mind my own business. I believe that the wine of the NT is grape juice, because of study of the words. We use grape juice in weekly communion, and grape juice has the same health benefits. I doubt I would have hunted anyone down to pour out the moonshine, but would have told them my opinion of it if asked.
  3. Here is a history of our classroom journey on my blog. I love our space for school now! http://www.thekelleyeight.com/2010/12/place-for-everything.html
  4. Well-Planned Day. It is paper, which I prefer, good for up to 4 students (our oldest will go to their high school one in the fall) and it is BEAUTIFUL! Here is a link to the line : http://www.wellplannedday.com/cgi-bin/commerce.cgi?search=action&category=0002
  5. I thought so, but I didn't want to assume :001_smile: Thanks!
  6. Thank you! One question...what is SCM?? :001_huh:
  7. I am trying to put a schedule together based on the different stages. I am not completely sure if I have it all right, here is what I have figured out so far: Christian, 8th was supposed to be in Modern this year, we were in MOH Volume 1. He was supposed to be in Physics, we did Astronomy, and will be doing Earth. To keep him from redoing MOH 1 I just ordered SWB Ancient World text. I ordered Apologia Biology for him to start in the fall. I also plan to have the kids read what they should have been reading for their respective level from now until fall, as we will be doing some schooling year-round. Hannah, 5th Did the same things as Christian, was where she needed to be in History, and next year I will do the Biology she was supposed to do this year for the Astronomy we did this year. Noah, 2nd was supposed to be in medieval, we are going to do it next year. I am not going to sweat it since he will get all of this 2 more times, and is so young. I am more concerned about the oldest getting in everything he needs for high school. Emma, 1st is like Hannah and is in the first year of her cycle, we will just swap the Science since we just did what was supposed to be year 2. I have some books on request already, to get them started in their readings, and will continue over the summer to get in as much as possible :) good plan? Bad plan? Thanks!
  8. My name is Sam, I am in year two of homeschooling. We have 6 kids- 13,11 in a few days, 7, 6, 4 and 3 in a few days. I have tried many different approaches with hs, and I really like the why's of classical education. I just got WTM last week, and have one big question about it. How do I best use this method with so many children in different levels? I read in WTM Susan's recommendations for a couple kids a few years apart, but I will have a 9th, 6th, 3rd, 2nd and K this fall! I haven't finished choosing everything for fall, and this board has already been a big help in finding some new things. This year we have used Sandi Queen for Grammar, Apologia Astronomy, MoH Vol 1., McGuffey Readers, Horizons and TT. I already have decided Queen's grammar will be replaced with FLL for 2nd, and R&S for the older kids. Horizons and TT have been replaced with MM, a pre-algebra textbook has been ordered for the 9th grader. We will use MoH 2, Apologia Zoology, and for oldest- General Science. We just ordered Wordsmith Apprentice and Wordsmith. I also just ordered Roar, and a guide from Progeny. Also considering WWE for the youngest ones. Can this work with such an age gap, or do I need to have the kids in smaller groups? Any advice or BTDT would be greatly appreciated!
