  1. Sept 3 - after vacation and labor day when their friends go back. CB
  2. I have the NEM books and would have no problem teaching them but there is very little instructio in the book, more just pages of problems so there would be no self learning or self review. I love the NEM problems and kept the books to supplement with however NEM does not provide lists of theorems and postulates for algebra and do "proofs or show tha this equals this" which I think is really improtant in algebra. They also don't follow the traditional high school math sequence so you would have to watch out if public school is in your future or SAT's etc. Finally the layout of the books is absolutely unispiring - no color, no blocks, little indentation. Its hard to pick thinks out or distinguish 1 page from the next. I really do like it the problems though. CoffeeBean
  3. CWP are tough sometimes, you see people posting questions about specific problems here all the time. You could always post a problem here and ask for help. I think Jacob's website might have help too? It has lots of extras for geometry. CoffeeBean
  4. MY kids read multple books at one time too. I however can't (tetbooks not included). Maybe we need a c;ub. Mothers who only/..... CoffeeBEan
  5. Anybody going into any science major in college should have 1 year each of biology, chemistry and physics. The other year of science could be just about anything but should be a lab course (could be 9th grade earth science or AP bio or high school level anatomy & physiology for example). Vet school, like med school is graduate school and people go into it from all sorts of undergraduate majors. Your child should find a college with a program they are interested in and look at their entrance requirements. Coffee Bean
  6. I'd finish were you left off. Otherwise you'll miss things. Used to be 1 book for 2 years, so I wouldn't worry about getting behind. Coffee Bean
  7. Its cheaper than piano lessons, swimming lessons, etc. I don't think you have to do it for eery week of the year - just like swimming. You get the basics and then practice on your own until you need to get more pointers. CoffeeBean
  8. We went in the morning for the core subjects and afternoons for music,art, foreign language projects etc. COffeeBean
  9. The Story of Science by Hakim - its both history and science (3 volumes) CoffeeBean
  10. Mansa Musa by burns is a biography - its a beautiful book CoffeeBean
  11. I think the phrase was coined by CT Governor who read the aforementioned book and want all CT kids to get outdoors and play. I think they have increased budgets for nature centers and such and it pretty much ended there. CoffeeBean
  12. Concepts and Connections is what our public school uses for 9-10 grade accelerated Bology. Biology is the book for AP bio. CC is definetely doable in 9th grade. I love these books. CoffeeBean
  13. I don't think I'd do challenging word progblems with a kid who is struggling. I'd stick with singapore since she likes it and supplement with MUS or Saxon. My kids thought MUS was babyish too. Saxon is a lot of staright forward practice. If you can find the right level and combine it with singapore they would provide the practice. However, fun drills on the computer or one of those hand helds from walmart you can do on car trips really makes doing math facts doable. CoffeeBean
  14. We loved the Broken BLade by Durbin(?). Its historical fiction abour Voyageurs. It was something my son, then 8, could relate to instead of "girl" stories. CoffeeBean
