I saw Alcumus, is that not more of a companion with the text vs a pretest?

Is there any other way to know if it'd be overwhelming other than taking the pretest on the site, working through the excepts, and previewing the videos? So far I haven't seen any indication this'd be too much.

Not sure, sorry!

It's not just California. We use mychart for the children's hospital in Colorado for DD2 and there's a note right in it that at 14 we as parents lose access to the info in the account.

Thanks for sharing this-- I think I want to try this with my eldest.

OK, we sat down with that section and read it and she worked through it without a lot of drama, so I'm even more excited that this could be a good fit. Thanks for linking that!

I think that looks likely to be right up her alley. Thanks!! I'm going to keep encouraging her to work through Khan since she seems to love it and order this to see how she does. We can take it at her pace. :)

I answered this above, not sure why it didn't quote you the first time! Sorry. :)

Looking at her Khan Academy profile she's completed most of Khan through 8th grade as well as a large chunk of their prealgebra. I'm not sure how that compares or whatnot. It looks like she's poking around on the high school stuff there, too. :P

Hey, that's great news!

Thanks! :)

Would you do AOPS prealgebra in 6th?

Ok, I just gave her the Aops prealgebra pretest and she got them all right. Now I'm even more confused.

I haven't even planned high school yet. Yikes.

Thanks!

She worked through it faster than anticipated. She finished all of the 500 level, I just wasn't sure if it was better to use 600 or switch to another program now. :)

My 6th grader in the next fall has completed CLE 500 series and will spend the rest of the school year and summer working on Khan Academy. She's doing a bunch of random things on there, including pre-Algebra. What are some choices for middle school math? Would you stick with CLE? When do people switch to Dolciani or others? Has anyone used CLE all the way through high school? Thanks. :)

I'll PM you. :)

Depending on how much you'd be willing to drive there's land not terribly expensive there. Look at some of the towns to the west. :) Failing that if he's in energy check out North Dakota and Wyoming. We're in the latter and really do love it-- mountains are great and it's not so hot.

My parents live in San Antonio (and the kids and I spend about 1/10 of the year there) and it's absolutely gorgeous.

A little bigger than you want, but we have a saint bernard and he's low energy, terribly affectionate, doesn't need haircuts, doesn't wander, isn't overly barky (but will bark once at the door), and is just a giant love bug. We've had him here with babies and toddlers and he's NEVER knocked one over- he moves slowly and gingerly around them. I think people discount the big dogs thinking they'll have a ton of energy and be wild, but my favorite dogs we've had as a family have been giants. Our Pyr was amazing, too.

Without seeing a fall it sounds more like a seizure, especially without remembering the time after and confusion. Do you have a peds neuro accessible in the area?

I have four kids and Corelle and nary a broken piece.

A lot of the new machine have set ups for the kids to watch a DVD while the MRI is going on, too, and that really helps, especially if you avoid TV for a few days prior and then use a brand new movie.

Can you do some visits with Child Life to practice and prep for unsedated MRI?
