Oops. I meant I need beta testers for Book 2 - we've already completed our testing for Book 1 (and had wonderful testers!).
I'd be interested in beta testing for you! I'm just starting Greek with my dd and your books look like a wonderful resource.
-
Just wanted to let you all know that book one is FINALLY finished! It's thrilling to see it in print and hold a hard copy in my hands! The printing company did an incredible job. I have three versions (to give various price options to customers): color, B&W and PDF.
Check it out! - BiblicalGreek4Kids.com
Again, thanks for all your input! I'm hoping to use many of you to test out Book 1 here in the next couple of months, also.
Wow! The book looks great! If you're still looking for testers and/or reviewers I'd be interested!

I used OPG with my dd as well and I started a spelling program when we were a bit over halfway through the book. She was past the 'sounding out' stage of reading at that point.
Just remembered - WTM store has a faqs page that answers this question. Here it is (you'll need to scroll to the bottom of the page).

Mine is posted!

We do memory work each day, using the SCM method (someone already posted a link).
Right now, dd is working on:
Personal info - working on family phone numbers
Poetry from FLL and a few others
Scripture (just finished Psalm 23, now working on Matt. 6:9-13)
French - days of the week
History - 7 wonders of the ancient world and first 20 emperors of Rome
-
About 1.5 hrs for basics (math, reading, etc.) Plus history or science and lots of reading aloud.
-
Great list! We'll be studying earth science next year so this is perfect timing for us!
Thanks you for sharing!

Horizons Health 1. Way, way below what I think should be first grade level. My DD is pretty advanced when it comes to human body type stuff, but still - this seems easy enough for a 3yo. On top of that, it's just silly. I understand that AOP is a Christian company, but this curriculum seems to be way more focused on religion than anything to do with health or safety. I had hoped there'd be something in there maybe I'd forget to cover, which is why I bought it, but it's all stuff we've talked about since she was a baby. Total waste of money. I don't think it could be less useful. Plus, it has one activity where you're supposed to cut and paste these pictures of 3 families that have changed over time, but there's one family that doesn't even have the same skin/hair color as any of the rest of them (as in, it doesn't match any of the other pictures, even though it's supposed to be one of the other families in one of its stages of development). :001_huh:
:iagree: I thought the same - I'd use this to cover any health topics I might have forgotten. Total waste of time.

Finished posting mine!
-
Yes! I'm interested in helping. Online conference would be soooooo wonderful!
-
I'm so sorry to hear you're going through that! Mold is a horrible thing - my brother and his family had to go through that with a house they purchased. Will be praying for your family! :grouphug:
-
:001_huh: I didn't do the color thing last year - didn't see the point and thought it was just... odd.
I have to say, I find this one pretty tacky. Yeah, I guess I'll think of another way to raise awareness.

We are using SOTW 1 and I find it very easy to add more Bible history into our studies. Just this week we're learning about Assyria and the library of Nineveh so it was very easy to add in some of Israel's history as it relates to Assyria and we'll add the story of Jonah when we read about Nineveh. So I wouldn't necessarily avoid it because of the lack of Bible (like someone else said - the basics are there - Abraham, Joseph, Moses, Jesus; you'll just need to fill it in a bit more).

I can't imagine my dc ever using any building toy according to the directions. Legos get built once, taken apart and then re-purposed. Same with any other set of anything, really. Honestly, they aren't happy unless they make it fit their needs, whatever those may be.
I just bought some Playmobile circus caging so they could have a jail for their bad guys. I am 100% certain it will never, ever be used as intended by the manufacturer.
:iagree: That's what happens here. Whenever we get dd a new set (last Christmas it was the pyramid) we help her set it up but it never stays that way. The large structures sit on the floor in her room and all of the pieces are in three drawers under her bed.
If she were frustrated by having too much out then I would definitely box some of it up and put it in her closet.

Oh, and there is a reason you cannot claim that it was about "state rights." The slave-owning states were actually mad that the federal government was not forcing non-slave-owning states to return runaway slaves. The slave-owning states wanted the federal government to force the other states to comply with laws in regard to runaway slaves, taxes on slaves, etc.
:iagree: Good book that deals with this a bit - Teaching What Really Happened.

I'm another that started when dd was 4 years old. Great program!

I have a WW this week - link in my siggy!

Yikes! You are freaking me out! Not my library books!
Sort of a spin-off - if you know someone has been exposed to bedbugs (friend's child overnighted at someone's house; child came home and showed what she thought might have been chicken pox but found out it was bedbug bites) would you be concerned about having them in your home? Or am I just being needlessly over-cautious?

Lol, I was hoping for missing movie reels or something. I love Bing Crosby. The holidays are not complete without Holiday Inn and White Christmas. :)
That's neat for sports fans, though. :)
:iagree: I was excited to read something about a Crosby movie that I missed! :lol: And yes, Christmas isn't the same without Holiday Inn and White Christmas!

I hope she will correct me if I'm wrong, but I think she was puzzled by the conundrum: covering Arthur at the time when he might possibly have existed (early Dark Ages) or during the era where he is fixed by the Morte d'Arthur and Hollywood (High Middle Ages).

:iagree: I remember that conversation.

Since you're doing narrations with science and history and copywork with FLL I don't think it's necessary. WWE 1 covers narrations and copywork so if you're already doing those then I wouldn't add it.
How do you store your loose worksheets?
in K-8 Curriculum Board

I keep all lose worksheets in a portable file folder box, divided by subject.
