I'm planning 12 books for 6th grade. We are planning 6 this first semester and 6 the second semester. They are books like Sign of the Beaver, Johnny Tremain, Lion,Witch and Wardrobe. Is this too much or too little? -

IEW - on- line class Public speaking- co-op class art history- weekly Logic- weekly Latin- daily Robitics- one project weekly useing mind strom He will run track and play basketball. He will fence and play the piano too. Am I over doing it?

Abeka 9th grade physical science course
jayb842 replied to Alison in KY's topic in High School and Self-Education Board
We did the abeka DVD for dd's high school. We liked the course. Dd learned a lot. If you used the dvd's you don't need the teacher manual. Dd watched the labs and did the lab book. We didn't want buy equipment. -

Are yearly appointments (female) important?
jayb842 replied to PeacefulChaos's topic in General Education Discussion Board
Well I did my yearly appointment every year around my birthday. My major worry has been breast. My mom died at 30 of breast cancer. I did my pap yearly with my breast exam. I never worried about cervical cancer. I had hoped my ex-husbands cheating wouldn't effect me again. ( I had only been with my ex-husband and my wonderful dh.) On my 35 birthday I got a call saying I had pre-cancer and hpv positive. After more testing my doctor found out it was stage 3 precancer. It was almost cancer. I had a hysterectomy in April. My point is that I never had cervical issues until this year. I was tested for HPV the year before and tested negative. I went from no issues to almost cancer in one year. Cervical cancer should take years to grow but mine didn't follow the rules. I would get checked yearly. -
