I was just coming to post that it took a while last time. ;)
Do you remember how long? I want to say it was a few months but I deleted that final email. (We ended up using fewer credits this year, so I still have 20 left.)
I just checked my emails. It took about 2 months. And that was just 1 bulk transfer!

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. :)

Good info! I have been going back and forth over whether to try Landry for one semester or not, but the price tag is out of reach. One full year class is what I spend on a full year of curriculum for one of my boys.
Sorry if my post wasn't clear. My bad. Landry isn't offering this free credit directly. You have to get it from someone who has a free credit to give out - which was the purpose of my post - I had a free credit to give to someone. But I also have a few credits for purchase at a discount.

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.

When I asked Jetta regarding textbook, she said that she would mail the textbook out in late May/early June so we would have the summer to read through the textbook. I'll probably revise sine, cosine, tangent for those free body diagrams because my older haven't touch those for more than a year.
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.

Signed my dd14 up for the course this weekend!
CrazyforLatin - I'm sure my dd will be glad to have some girls in the course. No pressure. ;)

Update on live class schedule - I just emailed Jetta and this is part of her reply:
For next year, I will try to find a time that will suit as many as possible, and if necessary, I will offer the class at two different times on "meeting day".-

Is there any info on when the live class will be held each week?

They just changed the sale so that you can defer the start date until Sep. 1!!!
I just submitted my registration form and it does look as though I am able to defer the start date to Sep 1, 2015.
:hurray:

Please keep in mind that the group buy will end Mar 4 I believe or if they run out.

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. :)

The 1st group buy has closed. Is anybody else starting a new one? If so, I would be interested in 10-12 semesters.
Thanks!

Hi Pam, I've emailed you. :)

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. :(

Thrown over for Curious George and Partly Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. Sad.
VERY SAD. :ohmy:

This is sounding really nice. Now I just have to come up with the money! Has anyone here installed this themselves? I have no experience with installing flooring, but it would sure cut down on the cost if I didn't have to pay for installation.
I haven't myself. But here's a link to a website that has a little video and a write-up on installation.

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.

Thanx dear.....Would you go to both bookfairs?
May be I will be able to get used classic readers in bookfairs?
How far is Brantford from Northyork?
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

Time: Saturday June 2, 8:00a.m. - 1:00p.m.

http://www.betterworldbooks.com/ has free shipping worldwide. That's where we get most of our books. They have a large selection and you shouldn't have trouble finding any classics.
But I'd look at local thrift stores first. Their prices are very reasonable for online booksellers (especially considering the free shipping), but still several times more expensive than typical thrift stores, especially for paperbacks.
: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.

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.
