    Middle School Curriculum

    I'm going to assume you aren't interested in sometihng like BJU distance learning online (though it gets these done in my house!).

    Science:

    John Tiner series: Masterbooks carries these as 'high school'. They most certainly are NOT! They have books of quizzes. Memoria Press has study guides. My sons loved these just doing the end of chapter 'quizzes'. No labs at all.

    Apologia General- though you will need to help with labs

    Rainbow Science: everything but a gallon of distilled water included

     

    History:

    Veritas Press Online Self-Paced

    Mystery of History

    All American History- currently my ASD kid is using this and enjoying very much. He doesn't do any of the extra stuff.

    HTH!

    I have looked at BJU but I always get confused trying to navigate the options. I need something affordable also...

     

    Mystery Of History And Bible

    in K-8 Curriculum Board

    Posted

    Im wondering for those that do MOH, what do you do for Bible? I know there is a lot of Bible in the curriculum itself, but not for every lesson. Also, sometimes going over Genesis for the umpteenth time gets to be too much. So I am wondering what others do for Bible with MOH. Thanks!

    HOD Bigger: Finding New Book Choices?

    in K-8 Curriculum Board

    Posted

    We are starting on HOD Bigger because I just need a curriculum that tells me what to do step by step. Unfortunately I don't really like the choice for the main history spine or science spine. The history book is "First Book of American History" by Edward Eggleston, and the science is A Small Square. I was wondering if anyone could help me possibly find a history book that had similar topics that wasn't so dry? I love history and I found this book very uninteresting. I just don't know if there is going to be another book that has similar topics.

    Math Curriculum For Mom That Isn't Good At Math

    in K-8 Curriculum Board

    Posted

    I need to chose a math curriculum for my boys going in to 2nd and 4th. They have done Saxon at a private school for two years. I am not sure if I should stick with it, as I have never used it. I have used a variety of other curriculum with my older two, and I had a very hard  time finding something I could actually help them with. I thought about TT, but I don't think it will be a good fit, because I tried a sample lesson and my son was just clicking any button for the answer and clicking through. I think he will just play around on the computer. The youngest does better at math, but both feel they are very poor at math and dislike it.

    Determining Math & Reading Levels

    in K-8 Curriculum Board

    My sons are going to be 8 & 10 in the fall. They have been in tiny private school for 2 years while I had to take a break from homeschool. I am bringing them back home, but I have no idea how to tell what reading level they are in. Any suggestions on how to determine that?

    Also I want to put them in Saxon math, which is what they have been using. The youngest completed Saxon 2 and the oldest completed Saxon 3. I tested them with the Saxon placement test, but the youngest didn't do well in some areas, and the test determined he should go back to Saxon 1. He missed some basics such as time, money, and counting by 2's, and that is why he was put into Saxon 1. From looking at his math, he does well at the addition and subtraction he has been doing, so I don't know that putting him in 1 again is a good idea. I would love some input. Thank you!!

    Choosing Math When Its Your Worst Subject

    in K-8 Curriculum Board

    I really struggle with teaching math. My oldest two fell behind because of it. I was always looking for a new math curriculum that I could teach better with little success. My younger two recently were in private school for 2 years and were using Saxon. I have been thinking I would just use Teaching Textbooks or Time 4 Learning, because I don't want the struggles again. However, I know Saxon is a strong curriculum and it would be good if they could use it. They would be in s and 54. My son who w9uld be in 54 is not a Kathy person either. I would love some thoughts on this.

    History and Science Together

    in K-8 Curriculum Board

    Posted

    Is there a history and science curriculum that would go well together, or a curriculum that incorporates the two together, but is pretty inexpensive? I am not looking to buy a big package or spend a lot of money. It is for early elementary. I am looking for Christian worldview. Thank you!!

    History Curriculum?

    in K-8 Curriculum Board

    Is there a History Curriculum that comes with things like easy activities, map work, maybe notebooking, and some relevant read alouds? I like the extras but can't do work to piece it all together. I need super easy. I guess I should add for grades 1 and 3 and Christian. Thank you
