Wow. Thank you Beth for your very generous offer. I've forwarded your post to the FB page where Landry teachers and families are trying to connect regarding the spring semester. The link to the FB group is: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1519089804771785/ if you want to add more info than what's provided here.

Landry Academy Group Buy
MustardSeedsMum replied to maize's topic in General Education Discussion Board
I just checked my emails. It took about 2 months. And that was just 1 bulk transfer! -
Landry Academy Group Buy
MustardSeedsMum replied to maize's topic in General Education Discussion Board
Just a heads-up that it might take a while for Landry to process all the transfers to the different accounts. It WILL get done. But so you know it might not be within the week or so. :) -

I just purchased a Landry special and part of the package includes a free 2016-2017 Landry Academy generic semester for a new family. New family means you don't currently have an account with them (i.e. you have not taken any courses or purchased any semesters from landry) If you are interested in trying Landry out, this is a great opportunity. I also have a few generic semesters for purchase if you want to combine it with the free one for a year-long course. Landry will require your name, email address to create a new account.

Clover Creek Physics?
MustardSeedsMum replied to Halcyon's topic in High School and Self-Education Board
Jetta's providing textbooks?? I was starting to hunt around for the 3rd edition. Also, you're making me nervous - sine, cosine and tangents are in Algebra 1? We've been using Singapore Math's Discovering Math curriculum so it's not as clearly defined as Alg 1,2, geometry, etc. But in looking at the scope & sequence, I figured if we completed DM1 and 2 (CC 7/8) we would have covered Alg 1 content. Hmm, I guess I better double check. -

Landry Academy - Group Buy Part 2
MustardSeedsMum replied to MustardSeedsMum's topic in High School and Self-Education Board
jg_puppy. Sorry. I went in with another person and between the 2 of us, we used all 50 credits. :) Hope you find another group. -
Totally agreeing with OneStepAtATime. My 2 boys started OTAE in April '14. They loved it so much they did 2 lessons a day, and on test days 3 (since the test is 1 day). I literally had to limit them to 2 lessons. But I think I might've relented a few times and they did more. They moved onto NTGR around Sep '14 and just finished the program this week. They'll begin MARR next week and have 6 months to finish it. I purchased OTAE and NTGR in April '14 and the MARR in Sep '14...when they had the $99 specials. Their retention of the material has been pretty good. Even my 3.5 yo sings the memory song. :)

2KnowWisdom - I have the booklists for the years 7-11. pm me your email address and i'll forward you the files. There was a mad scramble when LindaFay told the yahoo group about the need to take down her files. :) I'm sure I'm not the only one who misses her wisdom and handholding through the upper years. :( -

Who else is spending a fortune this year?
MustardSeedsMum replied to Another Michelle's topic in K-8 Curriculum Board
I've spent about $1,200 so far. But this includes ~$200 towards some board games I consider "educational" :D (Settlers of Catan, Carcassonne, Agricola, Ticket to Ride, etc....all strategy-based...it makes the kids' brains work in a good way.) The rest of the money went towards: 3 levels of ChalkDust Math (the cheap way) WWS CLE LA (4 grade levels) Story Grammar - Sentence Composing WRTR Editor-in-Chief x3 Dover colouring books a boatload of new & used books from our CMH booklist that will cover history, geography, literature,shakespeare,etc. etc. I still need to plop down some serious $$ for BJU. We're trying out the Science Distance Learning DVDs for 4 different grades. So that'll be another $1000+ Oh, does purchasing an iPad count? :tongue_smilie: I didn't include the price of that...$500 for a refurb 32G iPad2. Thankfully I have a dh who doesn't make me feel bad about spending the money. Sometimes he'll express surprise :lol:, but then I'd remind him how much private school costs, and that usually fixes the problem. -
Thrift store for children's literature in Toronto?
MustardSeedsMum replied to brill123's topic in K-8 Curriculum Board
Here's the info for the Toronto book fair. This will be in the vicinity of North York. Brantford is a little far out - so I don't know if you want to make the drive, considering that price of gas. ------------------------------ ETCH New/Used Homeschool Book Fair Location: Toronto International Celebration Church, 190 Railside Rd., Toronto, ON Time: Saturday June 2, 8:00a.m. - 1:00p.m. Cost: $1/person (nursing children only) -
Thrift store for children's literature in Toronto?
MustardSeedsMum replied to brill123's topic in K-8 Curriculum Board
:iagree: Ah, yes. Thanks for the reminder for BWB. I just picked up a bunch of books. But yes, still more expensive than finding it local.
